What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

80 bucks. Not too bad.

 

Really? For Toyota?
Wow

 

Lemme translate, "we know you're gonna be a picky bastard and at $25 labor to the tech we can make better money on literally anything else plz go away"

 

Firestone lifetime alignment. I have coilovers and aftermarket UCAs.

 

Picked up a soft top

 

Im kicking myself for not jumping on those J59's that were for sale in Raleigh for $250 a few weeks back.

 

lol yeah probably...I have a feeling it was probably the service advisor that I was dealing with that day...that Toyota dealer used to do a bit of work on my truck back when I first got it and wasn't comfortable yet doing stuff on my own. But I had a good relationship back then with an advisor that no longer works there

 

LOL yeah most likely...they even took the truck back in to their garage and had me sit around for 20 minutes before they brought it back out and said 'no'. I was like...okay...you couldn't have told me 'no' when I first brought it in? Not like you can't see that it's modified.

Anyway, it was for the best as I ended up finding on offroad shop only 2 miles from my house that does custom alignments and they did a great job

 

I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on those myself. I got the All Pro at 10% off plus free shipping from Low Range Off Road on Black Friday....along with some other suspension goodies...

 

$69 alignment at my dealer. Its the only place I goto for alignment.

 

Sounds like fun. You explore around uwharrie any yet?

 

Best alignment I've ever had was from a Firestone, best balance was a Discount Tire. I don't have the kind of time to wait for my dealer to fit me in for something like an alignment, they're always packed around the valley, every one of them is a high volume dealer.

 

Mine is so slammed they started offering free uber rides anywhere in the city. I just drop it off in the morning, hitch a ride with some stranger to my house, and use my dads 92 truck for the day. They do good work, but hopefully Im done seeing them for awhile.

 

I haven’t yet, I think the season closes in a couple weeks so I doubt I get this truck ready by then. I’ll be there come spring though, maybe I’ll meet you out there and you can show me around.

 

Camelback does this, when I had them do the fuel filter on my LC (pita location and they charged me like nothing for the labor) they gave me an Uber home and back to the dealer.

 

I may convince my dad to throw some new tires on his 92 pickup and take that down there next year. Wheeling my daily has me going crazy with all the sqeaks and rattles it has now. Lots of great guys in the Uwharrie thread to meet up with too. I kinda got lost during my first trip a few weeks back.

 

Lol, I am fixing a oil pan leak right now that has been doing the same thing

 

Where I get mine aligned, they let me watch them do it and will set it anyway I ask them to.

 

Is it 2.5-3" over new stock suspension, or 2.5-3" over old saggy worn out stock suspension?
