GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Battery died today.

Thankfully, @Built2Ride didn't take the battery I had in the dual batt setup in our old 4Runner and the cables stretch to fit. If anyone needs a new battery, the dead one has a warranty and I was quoted $68 at Toyota Mall of Georgia for a replacement. I'm planning on picking up a dual battery tray at some point in the (hopefully near) future, so I don't want to purchase another Group 27F just to buy another Group 34 in a few weeks/months. I'll be happy to meet you up at the dealership after work and let you get a battery at the pro-rated price. They did say that it has to be on another 27F, but I figure that's probably what most of you guys have anyway.

On another note, I was looking for a breather valve to help out another Tacoma guy. I noticed my frame looked extra black in a few spots. Turns out, I have a torn CV boot. Yay.

 

Anyone here close to the Florida Georgia line? Mainly by Jax or st Mary's. Im thinking of moving out that way in a year or so. Are there any pools guys in the area? If so I'd like to pick your brain

 

You got one of those "hot pool guy fantasies?"

...or are you a pool guy and want to know the "quality of talent" in the area that might potentially have the hot pool guy fantasy?

 

Can any of you guys confirm that the CV reboot kit

$56 04428-04010 Toyota Genuine Parts - Boot Kit, Inboard/Ou (04428-04010)

04428-04010 comes with both inner and outer boots plus grease for both? I'm seeing conflicting information online.

 

4Runner or the Tacoma?

 

I have been a repair technician on pool equipment for the last 10 years and I'm trying to figure out how the work/pay is out there for someone. And if the guys do everything or if theres companys that hire guys just to repair the equipment

 

Looks to have both https://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Tac...it-Genuine-OEM-OE/303116771315?epid=661663376

 

Hey JB, I hope that you're well.

Sweet pup. Do you have a platform build under that cover or just the seat?

I'm planning a trip to Colorado with my dog and was thinking about building a platform.

 

thanks for the info. My mom is in Flowery Branch so if i ever go visit i can swing by. I'm still commuting from Atlanta until we close on our new house next weekend so maybe i'll go through town one day and stop in.

 

There is a place called Oconee Off-Road over on the westside. Not sure if they do alignment, I’ve never stopped in... But may be worth checking into.

 

I saw that, but the pic on Amazon looks to only have 1.

I will likely call whatever dealership has them for the lowest price and ask to confirm before ordering. So far, McGeorge has the best price at $35. AutoNation Toyota Mall of Ga wanted $78.

 

I've learned that if an offroad shop doesn't do their own alignments, it's still good to call and see who they take their stuff to after they do lift installs to get them aligned. They should have no problem telling you and sending business that way since they don't do them.

 

I'll probably try them, we are moving to Bogart so that is super close. Thanks

 

You can even contact @gunny1005 I think he typically gives a discount as well

 

Any of y'all work for Vertical Earth? In thinking of trying to get on as a superintendent

 

@gunny1005 , what say you?

$56 04428-04010 Toyota Genuine Parts - Boot Kit, Inboard/Ou (04428-04010)

04428-04010. Price, and does it come with everything I need for inner and outer boot replacement.
Also considering getting a new serpentine belt, which I believe to be

$64 90916-A2001 Alternator and Fan Belt

90916-A2001.

 

May be best to PM him, last I heard he got promoted and doesn't check here as much just mainly thru PM's but I could be wrong

 

I think your right and someone else took over this for him but I cant remember that person's name

 

Awesome stuff man, I really really appreciated it! Looks like its getting pushed back to next week but I will absolutely reach out to you. Ive read over the forum and it absolutely has a lot of useful of information, as well as the video.

 

Feel free to call before. I will send another PM for my contact info. I depart Fort Benning on 24 MAY for good so I won’t be available to come to ATL. However, through modern technology I’m sure I can help you with any questions. It is still all very fresh in my head.
