Sick of your HC non-swingout? Do you want a swingout but don't want to wait 6 months? Do you want a Pelfreybilt bumper?? If you answered YES to any of these questions, here's your chance!!

TRADE ONLY; your HC rear non-swingout bumper for my Pelfreybilt swing out with 2 2-gallon Rotopax, fold down camping table, and Rigid flush mounts (yours must include lights if you have them).

- powder coating is in phenomenal shape
- do not reach out to me if you have a OEM bumper, standard steel bumper etc.
- MUST BE A REAR HIGH CLEARANCE NON-SWINGOUT ONLY!!

SLIDE INTO MY DM'S!!

 

Recently traded up my '15 TRD Sport for a '19 TRD Pro... Looking to slowly add some mods and join some local groups for meet-ups... Figured I would come in here and say hi.

 

Welcome! Please join the area Facebook group pages.

"Chi-Town Offroad Toyotas"

and

"Chicago Toyota Tacoma Group"

The next meet/event is our 2nd [Mall] Crawlers and Coffee event. We are meeting up at Woodfield mall on June 2nd then convoying up to River Road Rally Park in McHenry.

 

Coating Specialties is the only one I'll use. I've had probably 50 pcs personally coated there. The fab shop I was at used them all the time, literally hundreds of pcs coated by them. They also do work for Billet Specialties as well.

 

Cool to see you guys doing Crawlers and Coffee. Always to seem to be busy but I’ll keep looking in the future. I came across this the other night some of you guys might be interested.https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/come-along-on-shellshocks-midwest-adventures.606127/

 

Whats up guys, long time Tacoma owner, been active duty the last 10 years moving around and finally seperating and moving back home, my new 19 I bought from the dealer with 5100's already installed and since its still under warranty and under Toyotacare wondering if anyone has any recommendations for lift friendly dealers. I'll be in the Oswego/Naperville/Aurora area, just ready to build a good relationship with a new service advisor as I have everywhere I go, not afraid to wrench on my truck, have lifted a few myself, but also been down the having to explain to the tech why its not tire or lift related path too a few times. Thanks in advance!

Toyota of Naperville has been good to me with the free services, rear diff whine and the TSB for the manual. I'm out in Oswego, if you need help unpacking or anything just let me know.

 

Awesome man, thank you! I noticed they had a few lifted new trucks, but you never know. Mom has a JLU and Dad a Raptor, I'm the only Toyota fanboy in the family. Thank you for your service too. Looking forward to meeting a few of you guys when I'm not buried in the nursing books, lol.

 

@PrimerTaco

I know they've got a reputation for not budging on price but no clue if it's true, I bought my truck in Elgin. I'm the same way, my family has pretty much all domestics. No need to thank me man, you've done your part just as much as the rest of us. First round is on me to congratulate you on getting out.

Where you going to school at? And I think @geekhouse23 is doing another Crawlers and Coffee event in June so that'd be perfect for you.

 

I'll be back first week of Jul, going to Loyola for a 2nd degree nursing BSN program, my first degree is pretty worthless (natural science), don't plan on buying any new vehicles just don't want to have to fight them that its not my tires or small lift if something does come up while under warranty.

I will say getting out at 10 years was a tough choice, but I have a good savings, parents who are supportive (rent free for me for awhile) and just can't take another 10 years, especially in my AFSC. Thanks again for all the help and invite!

 

Naperville Toyota were a bunch of dbags who would not budge on price when I was Camry shopping. Elgin lied to me on the phone and then tried to blame me, ended up getting our Camry at countryside and it's free services done there. If I needed any sort of service done I would go there, then again I wrench on my whole Toyota fleet myself.

 

chitown 4x4 out of Glen Ellyn is where you want to go for your parts. They also do installs. In fact, they also do a lot of the trucks for Naperville Toyota prior to them selling it off the lot.

 

2nd on Toyota of Naperville. Good buddy is a Mechanic there. The staff have always been very helpful on fixing issues. Might be because he works there and is the guy that works on my family’s Toyota’s. I didn’t buy my truck from there but I brought my fitment issues to them with my 2019. Manager there took the time while I explained the rear bumper alignment issues with these trucks. Had corporate come out and fixed the issue. He didn’t know this was as big of a problem that it is. Had a couple other issues that were taken care of right away.

 

Thanks guys, gonna give Naperville a shot at least for my maintainence while its under warranty / Toyotacare (I'll pick up after that point), since they are the closest. When it comes time to upgrade I'll make sure to stay clear for buying from them lol.
