Tacos in St. Louis area

Appreciate it Brotha, gotta get on one don’t even remember how to pedal
But yea I’m all in, thanks

 

I bought a ghost kato 5 last year and it’s pretty awesome. Trek is pretty solid for entry level stuff. Brand doesn’t matter as much necessarily as the components.

If you want front suspension, be sure to get one that’s an air shock, the springs suck especially if you are fat. They need too much preload and still bottom out.

A lot of stuff has disk brakes these days, the hydraulic ones are way nicer than the mechanical ones.

 

Appreciate the feedback Gerr, definitely gotta get caught up on the bike side of things

 

If you goto REI or Scheels, they’ll let you test ride anything they’ve got in stock which is pretty nice over just buying blind and finding out it’s uncomfortable or the fit isn’t right.

 

Good call, didn’t know they offered that

 

Any one here have a 5th gen t4r that might want a lowpro rear bumper with swingout? Weld together kit. I’m fairly sure they shipped me the wrong one. Pending resolution obviously. I’m sure they would rather sell it than me ship it back.

 

Coastal off-road. I’ll let you know when I hear back from them. Hopefully tomorrow.

Low pro swingout with jerrycan holder and highlift brackets. Weld together kit. Also has the removable hitch.

Holy shit their armor is cheap

 

Yes. And shipping was fast. At my door in less than two weeks. It will prob take me two solid days to fit and weld and grind. But hey, better than a cbi @ 2700$ for the same setup

 

I could get the bumpers AND the skids for less than the sos high clearance rear bumper I want

 

I know a guy with a welder...mig tig and plasma for mistakes

 

So do I, called my brother in law and his welder is a pretty sick 60amp multi use welder mig or tight stick

 

There used to be a couple shops in St. Louis that would measure for fit to find the right frame for people as well as for custom frames.

 

I'm 10 seconds away from buying this skid plate kit for the 2nd gen taco.....convince me I'm wrong.

 

I'D look into something motorized , but thats just me lol

 

Keep me updated please
