Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

What are you guys buying your wives for Christmas? I need some inspiration..

 

We just moved to the beach from a non beach state so... beach chair and neoprene seat covers haha but also looking at a kubaton keychain for when she is in scrubs and can't conceal or carry a knife in to the hospital.
I know how to tap in to the romanticism of the season.

 

I don't have a wife so nothing. But my nanny is getting something nice and useful for her photography business.

 

I have one of those keep it in the truck as a glass breaker. What about pepper spray is that not allowed in the hospital either?

 

She has one she keeps in the car. She doesn't like it on the key chain any more, too bulky.

 

Glad to see another Pinehurst Toyota around!

 

Not a fucking clue

 

Happy Turkey Day!

 

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Hello everyone. I'm stationed at Ft. Bragg looking to lift my 2018 TRD OR. I have my kit and wheels already ordered. Fox suspension with a toytec AAL. What shops would you recommend taking my Taco in to get worked on? There's 4 Wheel Parts up in Raliegh quoting $140/hour. Any place else in the area?

 

Lots of folks here, myself included, that would love to help you install the lift yourself. Learn a little about the truck and make some friends in the meantime.

If you’re against installing it yourself you can look at Low Range Off-road in Wilmington. Good dudes and they’ll give you a fair price on install. $300 to install

@Dangerdave

Thank you for the response. I’d love an opportunity to learn but lack the tools and mechanical know-how.

 

You’re close to me, I’m in Sanford. If you need a hand then you’re more than welcome to ask. Thank you for your service and welcome to TW.

 

@TacoGoonin

Thank you for reaching out. Once the last pieces of my lift come in I’ll definitely have to get in contact.

 

@KingJester68

Not a problem bud. Looking back at your post, I believe you had mentioned that you went with a FOX/Toytec combo. Color me curious, but what did you decide on for the specific components of the suspension system?

Not to pry, but what's your MOS? Again, my curious nature at work, I come from a family with a deep military background/history.

 

@TacoGoonin

I went with:
2.5” Fox Shock Extended Length front Coilovers with DSC and reservoirs
2.0” Fox Shock Performance Series Reservoir Rear Shock with CD adjust
Front Differential drop kit
Toytec Progressive 3 Leaf AAL
Rear axle degree shims
Total Chaos UCAs
Toytec Extended Rear Break Line Kit
Method NV 16x8 4.5” backspace 0 Offset wheels
Toyo Open Country A/T 285/75/16 tires

I’m just waiting on the last few parts to come in before installing.

As far as MOS I’m an 11B

 

@KingJester68

Right on man, but that "hurry up and wait" game is the worst haha.

11B, I can't remember if that's straight up infantry or indirect.

 

@TacoGoonin

11B is straight up infantry as you put it haha

I did my first lift at an on-post auto skills center. Cost me 50 bucks for the lift and stuff for X amount of hours.

I’m in the process of moving from Ft Lewis to back near Bragg. If you don’t get help before, when I’m free I can lend a hand but it won’t be for a couple weeks. If it comes down to it.
