209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Routine maintenance FTW! My oil is changed, air filters replaced, and missing nut replaced and I've got brake pads for the front that I'm hoping to get done this week. I noticed my coolant reservoir is just under halfway between the full and low markers. Should I be keeping that topped off or is it OK until it hits that low marker?

 

Right on

Halfway between low and full is exactly where it should be.

 

Flip Kit from Wheeler, they gave me the TW discount after I had ordered which was cool of them.

 

I like wheelers, they have very good customer service.

 

mine just showed up today - gonna hit them up for the TW discount as well...thanks

 

Just don't drop into their shop if you're passing through Grant's Pass. There isn't a showroom and it was kind of awkward.

 

Ok guys....... just bought my front ADS, with resi’s, no clickers. 4-6 weeks build time.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can get a good alignment? I purchased the lifetime alignment from Firestone but they weren’t able to adjust the caster enough “due to being a lifted vehicle”.

 

A buddy of mine goes to a shop in Ripon, I’d have to ask him tomorrow. Anyways, bad*** setup dude.!

 

whats your caster at? on my buddies lift i can only get 2.5 to 3 you might be maxed already.

 

This is the printout I received.

I also don’t have 265/65R17
I currently have 33x12.50r18

 

looks like they just adjusted your toe. camber is a bit off on passenger side. caster is good tho

 

Oh okay. Thanks. Somehow I thought 0 degrees would be the ideal adjustment.

 

Your steering would feel terrible with 0 caster. Your caster actually looks great. Most on here want 2.5 caster or more, 0 camber, 0 toe. Nice setup!

 

I go to Sweir Tire in Ripon and they do a great job dealing with a lift and alignment. @Uphillshunter just went and was pretty happy. They also have a spring compressor should you ever need to adjust coilovers a lot like I had to. It’s an old school family shop passed down since like 1937

 

Set the toe, and let it go!

 

I like Swier Tire. The people seem to be good people and they seem to do a pretty good job.

Full disclosure though, I'm going to have to go back. The truck drives nice, and straight, but I think they have my Caster setting wrong. When I back up and turn to passenger I rub bad... When I back up and turn to driver I don't rub at all.

One thing I noticed, that I didn't like when I got my alignment, is they didn't give me any sort of print out.

Do not get me wrong. I'm not unhappy with them at all. I'll take it back over and see if they can fix it. We'll see how it goes. But, I said they are legit, so now I have my name on them, so I gotta tell the whole story.

 

I plan to go to swier tire based on your guys recommendations.

Although last year I went to firestone in downtown Tracy and they were pretty good. Dude even asked if there were any specific specs I wanted (I didn’t have a clue so, I said no lol)

They dialed in my front end with oem uca’s and my unknownish lift. No, complains even tho most people seem to say avoid Firestone’s.


Hopefully my trip to swier is a one and done lol

 

I did McCoy Tire on McHenry and haven't had any complaints if you're looking for another option.

 

I took care of these shock relocation towers for @CalTacoma09 today.
