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

Then now you're looking for a place the does corner balance and race alignments, that's usually $250 minimum. Normal places don't wanna mess with aftermarket stuff. This is shit you can set yourself in 10mins anyway.

 

I told you we can fix it so your wheels arnt /\ but no you didn’t wanna take it apart

 

They are pushed all the way out, plate strait
Number wise idk

 

super easy...double check this is the right part number, I just did a quick google search

 

No clue what I set it to, to be perfectly honest with you. I just know it had some bad negative camber.

 

So check and set it for the caster total you want and very little to no camber and the regular alignment will take care of the rest

 

I just got one this morning. Paid $65 bucks. I dont have SPC uppers tho. I have icons

 

Honestly I’d rather have someone else deal with it.

 

You're gonna pay a lot for something incredibly mundane that you have all the equipment to do already (it's one nut). It's a pickup truck not a six figure sports car.

 

You won't find a place that will touch those other than a specialty shop. So cough up the 400 bucks.

Though IMO you're far to young to be at the point where you pay people to do stuff for you because you don't have time or whatever.

 

I think that since it is your truck you should learn it and get comfortable with it. Once you start 4wheeling more. Alignments become more frequent. I’ve had 3 this year

 

Nice, I think I'm on 5 so far this year. Meanwhile I've never aligned the cruiser

 

I was quoted $190 from the local speciality shop. I really don’t mind when it comes to something important like alignment.

 

You're missing what part of it is important. Experience will teach you one way or another though I suppose, just trying to save a friend some cash. Can't say I was much different when I started out. Wasted lots of cash on pointless work over the years

 

While having the ability to pay others is great, I totally agree. I learned to always atleast attempt or research a fix before I take it to a shop. The $100 rear brake line install taught me that.
Don't know what @BartMaster1234 does besides school but you may need some time management skills there bud. Especially since it took you almost two weeks to get back to me on the key ring light. Your gonna piss a lot of people off if thats how you handle things after advertising that you have parts ready to sell.

 

I’ve done 100% of the work on my truck up until @Sperrunner came along to help with the lift. I’ve had plenty of experience, trust me.

Maybe I’ll do it myself. I don’t know. I know it’s easy, but at this point I’d rather have someone else do it. The convenience is worth it to me. I don’t have much time to myself nowadays.

 

Sorry about the key ring light. I don’t know what to tell you. I’m only at home two days out of the week and I barely have time for myself.

Going to school and running a business on the side takes up all my time.

 

Another reason why I’m so adamant on having a shop do this, to be quite frank with you all, is I don’t have time to tear into it myself. You all give me shit about taking 3-4 months to install my lift, or not assembling my bumper and sliders. The reason it took that long is not because I have have bad time management skills, it’s because again - I have no time.

I go to school full time, and I run a business on the side. Don’t even have time to look at myself in the mirror most days.

 

Thats fine, I got what I wanted in the end. Maybe you shouldnt be so willing to assist others if you know you wont be able to do so in a timely manner. Its all about time management.

But you should just roll up to any alignment shop, you'll be fine. No need to tell them about your lift.

 

To be fair I’m not saying do your alignment yourself...I’m saying adjust your spc uppers yourself. Then pay someone $60-$80 to align it. From my understanding it’s easy to adjust the uppers


And I understand the no time. I went to school full time for engineering, commuted 3 hours a day to school and worked 6 days a week at night as a bartender.
