    Hey now you have me curious,
    What work did you have them do.
    I had them do front and rear suspension,
    Normally I would have done this myself but I was extremely busy at the time and just wanted it done.
    My rear was done ok 1 bolt tightened to much against the shock which was pinching the rubber gromet to much, no sweat really.
    But my front suspension is Icon stage 3 with total chaos UCAs, and that was a boched job.
    Maybe that was a bit to complex for them?
    I don't know, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to building anything really but I figured an offroad CO. Should have handled this better.
    They even told me at the time of install they weren't familiar with total chaos UCA's but said they could handle it.

    Welcome!

    Do not go to Jannetty's in Waterbury. They F'd up the transmission in my last truck (Cummins) and then told me they were stumped and for me to take it to the dealer. What did the dealer do after fixing the mess? Voided the warranty on the transmission...

    Hey all, been slacking with my tacoma forum use, lol. I really meed a few weeks off to have fun with this damn truck!!!! Lol. Anyways hey all hope no one melted today, I started too. My next mod for my ‘14 is a set of stock roof racks I just picked up this weekend for a great price. Now I hope they install easy with no major problems. Just gonna use them for kayaks now. Maybe someday I can afford a Prinsu.

    I'm sorry but your right it's hard to find a good mechanic at a fair price.
    That's why I did my last lift on my 2nd Gen myself and when I buy my lift for my 3rd I will most likely also do it myself,
    it's coming this fall or most likely early next spring.
    Edit
    Fair to me is $85.00 and hour. Am I wrong?

    I'm happy to find mechanics @ $100./hr down here. Good to me is they didn't mess it up irreparably. :-(

    Good morning all.

    Make sure to put sealant on the bolt threads as it looks like the rack was already installed. :thumbsup:

    Morning everyone. Happy Tuesday.

    Using up my last summer day and getting some stuff taken care of this afternoon. One of them includes going to the bank to talk about possibly refinancing our mortgage. We'll see...

    Gotta pay for those mods somehow!!


    1)It is INSANE that the summer is already over and school starts up again already, I feel like it has gone way too fast this year.

    2)Bummed we didn't see you at the meet this weekend! Hopefully next year!


    Met a few of your CT guys, was a fun day! @bucktales is the main guy I remember from this thread I talked to, saw @mhoadley I think walking by me once but didn't stop to say hello :anonymous:

    Yeah... Couldn't make it unfortunately. Had some fun stuff planned with the wife and kiddos since summer is almost over, and everyone goes back to the grind starting next week. Wife goes back to teaching, oldest starts kindergarten, and then my youngest is going to go to my in-laws again but likely starting some sort of daycare come January.

    No it was 100% me too, I saw it but you were talking to someone and I didn't want to be rude. It's also awkward just walking up to someone sometimes ha. Next time I'll make sure to stop ya and say hello!

    I didn't get to talk to half of the people I wanted to, I was so busy and the time flew by
    Then I started to talk to some people and I was yanked again to go pose in the TW.
    Prepared more I will be next year.
