Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

https://www.procharger.com/blog/toyota-owners-here-comes-your-procharger-boost-teaser

What do you guys think?

 

Good to see another supercharger coming to the market! So far it's been Magnusson and URD predominantly but after recent experiences with URD they'll never be considered for any of our business in the future.

 

Procharger has a good rep. Be interesting to see! With my taco, I want better fuel economy, not power camaro on the other hand.....

 

Care to elaborate?

 

To make a long story short- bought stage 2 clutch and heavy flywheel, had installed. A few days later it starts to develop a shudder when slipping to start out in 1st/reverse. Told drive it, probably just needs to burn off contaminates and break in. Proceed to drive on trip to SoCal for business a few days later. Clutch gets so bad on trip truck is basically un-drivable. Leave at SoCal dealer and drive home in rental. Dealer removes clutch, determines it has manufacturing defects, both dealer and local shop that installed communicate with URD sending photos and a dozen phone calls back and forth since they claim it was install error even though it does not appear to be. URD says they need to inspect parts but will cross ship a replacement. Ok, cool, getting somewhere.
Nope... weekend passes and now URD changes to not cross shipping and only replacing the clutch plate and not the flywheel that was the predominant piece with visible issues "its just a hunk of metal, you could light it on fire and still run it" was the words from Gadget. Wrong IMO, as well as every other person i've mentioned it to. So now we're a little upset, truck has been stuck in SoCal a week and we need it back sooner than later so we decide to regretfully move forward with a new factory clutch instead. URD takes back defective unit and promises refund, URD sends email a few days after receiving old parts back saying they've processed refund but we still havent seen one several days later. Hopefully just card company lag at this point.
Really a bummer for me because I've bought several things from URD over the years and recommended them too, but not any more. Too many changed promises and lack of standing behind the product. If it werent for 2 very good and reputable shops doing the work and providing the proof of the issues and not waivering I don't believe we'd have gotten anywhere with them and been out $2k in parts and labor, now we're out nearly an extra $1000 wasted labor still plus all the frustration and time back and forth to SoCal with a rental. /rant

 

Any one local have 17” SCS Ray10s? I just want to try and throw one on to see if it’ll fit onto manual hubs. I thought the answer was no but their Instagram just said otherwise. Will provide six pack for yer time

 

Must have missed the new acquisition. What's this locking hub business? Do you have a build thread?

 

I got a built 2010 taco. The Solo XLT Kit has an option for upgraded axles with manual hubs and hugeeee CV axles.

 

BUT, does it have the RARE Manual Transmission? Congrats!

 

nice throwback.

 

I've got a set on my truck, welcome to throw one on to see if it fits.

 

Come pull the spare of the carrier of my 08 down at the shop and you can check

 

You guys rock! I’ll creep by the shop tomorrow and if you sell it before I make it down I’ll take you up on that @RenoTacoma

 

Can anyone in this Reno specific forum help me find a shop to do a cmc, I know this thread is mostly about BS and meets and all but it seems the northern Nevada region is so secluded nobody else on this entire forum can help.

 

@RelentlessFab

 

Thats who did mine and he did an amazing job.

 

Me too. Hard to believe that was like 8 years ago.

 

Anyone around here got an extra 2nd gen TRD OR rim theyd be willing to part with for some coin? i wanna get rid of the steely spare but i am only finding full sets on facebook and craigslist

 

I have one and I’m headed over 2nd weekend of December if you want to wait
