GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

You're the man, JB! Sounds like you've got some awesome stuff in the works.

 

I am in the home stretch. Getting 5.29s, rear bumper...selling some stuff then rolling out to check out the Alucab Canopy Camper and the Khaya.

I also want to outfit the trailer with just their RTT as well. Saw a deal on a GFC tent only, but I would rather have the Alucab do to a couple differences.
If I am not mistaken, you can’t enter the GFC tents thru the side.

 

I appreciate all the advise you guys! I am planning a low bed rack system maybe about a 9 inch tall bars and waiting on finding a good used RTT probably a smittybuilt one since they are the least expensive on the list! I also want to make sure I like the setup before I decide to go big on the build, just looking at all yalls tents on the trip made me jealous lol
But @Built2Ride hit me up when you planning on getting rid of them bed bars and RTT BRO!

 

Let’s chat. You got my number?
A bedside works well with a bed rack too.

 

FIFY

 

Yeah I got your digits! And I like your drawers honestly I might be interested on something of that setup but the options are endless!

 

You said it. They are endless, that’s what I enjoy about this forum. Lots of great ideas that are out there. It’s good to hear the likes and dislikes. There is always room for improvement.
As West mentioned, keep your eyes peeled for the deals. Bedrack should cost $250-400 used. RTT most go for around 1k, but you can find them for a little less like $800.
For instance, I did a quick search and found this:

There's a few folks on here in Marietta. I'm in East Cobb.

 

Anyone else had bad experience with BFG KO2 wear?

Mine were cupped to absolute shit front and rear, even though either me or the dealer rotated them every service (5k miles). They lasted under 20k miles.

I took them back to Discount Tire and expressed disappointment, apparently the tires came with a 50k mile warranty so they were able to comp me around 60% of my purchase price. They gave me a bunch of BS on how it's not a factory size, I've offroaded it, my truck is too light for the tire, aftermarket suspension damaged it... All sorts of crap. I think I wasn't asking the right way, so I just outright had to ask for a refund or exchange, then they were super helpful.

I think it was probably partially due to the tire size. I went real skinny with an LT 235/85/16. They're skinnier AND taller than stock, so I'm guessing that didn't help. I decided to go with LT 285/75/16s, which are a 33" tire.




Waiting at Discount Tire...




New shoes...



I had to take the front mud flap off, the tire was rubbing on it pretty bad. I get a smidge of rubbing on the cab mount too, so I'll be doing a CMC.

The new tires are Pathfinder ATs. They're WAY WAY WAY quieter than the KO2s were. The ride is a lot smoother too.

 

If you can afford it and have space, I would also keep your shell bc it will be expense to replace of you change your mind in the future or it will take forever to find a good deal on another esp color matched. Just my .02

 

true dat

 

Yupp that's exactly what I'm gonna do I'm pretty sure no one would want my camper since it's for a Colorado lol

 

Pretty much falling apart as well

 

Are there bad areas around Marietta that should be avoided?

edit: I should be more detailed... in regards to living and home searching.

 

Tire pressure? On the BFG of course

 

Ive owned several sets in the past and always got about 60k out of each set. All three sets were 31's. Maybe the quality has slipped in recent years.

 

New job?

 

Anyone have a welding gas cylinder to sell or leads to any inexpensive ones? Any size. Going to be going with some C25
