GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Hard to say. Talk to Erick about it. I don’t know enough about the switch pros.
I am running SPOD Bantam.
He would be able to give you the ins and outs.
Powertray is the best way to go.
I got a couple of them.
@state48overland what up brutha, can you shed some light on the switchpros vs the Bantam for Brad?

 

Brad/JB, I'm currently using the Power Tray. I used to have a Switch Pro mounted to mine. When I swapped over to the sPOD Bantams, I repurposed the same tray. I think it works great. Keeps everything nice and tidy. Also keeps everything easily accessible.

Looking for any sort of help or anyone selling.
I am looking for aftermarket 18 inch wheels. Preferably 18x9 , but in the color black. Don’t care the brand. But just don’t. Want to spend the fortune that shops charge for them. Any help, or anyone selling. Thanks.

 

@Mudfootshuffle is the wiring guru. It’s really not all that hard though.

 

Gave up with 4 wheel parts, supposedly 2-4 week backorder on extreme country tires. Called Dick cepek up and they have a whole set in ohio.

After trying to call 4wh parts for an hour someone finally answered, asked for my order number and said let me find it and they put me on hold. Waited 15 mins and hung up.

Got another guy after 2 calls, told him what was up and he said that doesnt sound right. Put me on hold and i waited 30 mins, screw that place.


Canceled my order and if my money isnt back tomorrow they better be ready to talk

 

Bummer.
Sounds like if you do have to call back you may wanna find a different phone number than just the store front. Maybe a corporate number, or customer service specific number?

 

That's the real kicker, when you order online stores in Ga have no info on those orders.

My dad tried seeing where they are for me from the norcross store

 

I have never heard anything good about 4WP.

I ordered some lights from them one time and didn't have a problem, but you always hear about their terrible customer service.

 

Same. Never hear anything overwhelming good related to 4WP. I've never purchased anything from them, but I always check their pricing and it seems to be competitive.

 

Got my regear/locker at 4wp and it was SUCH a headache had to go back 3 times and it took a week to do when it shoulda taken a day...

Speaking of which tomorrow I hope to have my locker actually working! Been working on my OBA and the wiring for a while.

 

If you need any help I'm not far, working back in Ga. Hopefully for good

 

I feel your pain. I have been in the Buford 4WPs many times. It can be a down right $hit show.

My experience has been mixed. When I call up there that is a complete waste of time.
The Bad:
- If you ask if they have something in stock, they may say yes, and you get there and it’s not the exact model you were talking about.
-If you walk in when they are busy, you just signed up for a headache.
- Ordered 5 Toyo RTs, was told they were in. Drove there, no tires. Came back later and before I left I asked for them to put their hands on them, as I live 45mins away.

The Good:
- If you use there website, you can get some of the best deals with free shipping. (ie winches, fridge slides, bubba ropes, ARB Compressor
- They installed my Decked Drawer system for a good price and relocated the 400w inverter plug.
- Just ordered two 9.5 winches at the store while meeting @solgardener for his rack (very cool guy). Winches were already on a deal, free shipping and the sales guy took another bit off because I ordered 2.

I give the 4WPs in Buford a Built2Ride score of 4.5/10.

Now if you want a good experience hit up
@state48overland they can source things you may not expect. I think they also do tires, at least I believe I had a conversation about tires.

 

Did you go rear or front and rear on lockers?

 

I do not plan to use them for locker install if/when I ever get to that point. I've heard too many headache stories about failed installs that they did and don't stand by their work. I'll go to pretty much anybody else first. Heck, I'd even attempt myself before getting to that point.

 

ACC Garage for this.

 

Yeah. That sounds about right.

On that note, I recommended them for someone wanting to re-powdercoat his Demello front bumper on a 5.1 gen 4Runner trail. ...that college kid that bought my sliders.

 

I tried JB*** We had a couple of DC's in stock, and while we wouldn't have to charge any tax on the deal, unfortunately am not a big enough tire player to avoid shipping costs.

 

Thanks for the help though


Maybe we should get a @state48overland store in Ga

 

Absolutely brotha! I hear your frustrations too-makes me sick that a customer would be on f'n hold that long.

 

Hell yea, I need a new job
