GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Nice. When you do it again, here are the PN's for the bearings to save some $$ instead of getting the whole pulley

 

No worries man! I appreciate ya getting back with me. Glad to hear about the springs, i suspect may be a tad stiff being that i went with 700lb springs but im hoping i can mess with the damping to compensate.

Super glad to hear about the finish not degrading. I actually just purchased some Mavcoat Steel Shield to spray on them as a precaution.

 

I hear ya homie, I got a connect at Toyota South for parts. I get about 28% off parts.
This runner will be hitting the 300k mark and is getting a refresh with a few new parts. I appreciate you looking out for me brutha.

 

Between their finish and the Mavcoat you should be golden.

I think the 700lb springs will serve you well with the amount of protection you have up front. Many get wrapped around the axle over 650 vs 700’s in the King owners thread but at the end of the day your talking about a 50lb difference in rate. Did you get the valving tuned in addition to the adjusters?

Welcome to the King ride btw!

 

I sure am hoping so. I was originally going with ADS, one big reason being it seemed they had a superior, longer lasting finish.

I was getting to that point, then talked to someone at ADS and was told that the difference between the two is going to be somewhat negligible so im not TOO worried about the 700lb springs.

I did not. Did you? I ordered from Wheelers, wasn't really sure if that was an option or if it was needed or not.

 

Just pulled the trigger on this tool set to permanently keep in the Taco... $42 after discount and tax.... Too good to pass up.

 

Mornin' Georgia!

 

Morning!

 

Sup buddy! I don't think we're ever gonna link up and ride anywhere! We may be going to Coppingers Cove up in TN soon!

I'm all about the ridin', that's what I joined this forum for!

 

Why do you say that? It will happen soon enough. I am most certain that we will.

 

LMK when you head to Coppingers, I've been wanting to head back there. May even be able to drag @BYJOSHCOOK and @BadgerBoy along again.

Depending on my trucks status, that was one of the places i was thinking about going next weekend.

 

Yall are some cool folks over here and would love to ride together! Just haven't had the opportunity to do it yet!

 

For sure! I'm guessing you'll want to test your new suspension out soon!

 

I got some skids in a few days ago... I think I'm going to paint them red before I install.

 

You better believe it. Hoping everything falls into place next week between suspension, brakes, pulley bearings, speakers, sound deadening, CMC, tire installation, alignment, and exhaust work...

 

Sounds like your truck is going through a make over soon!

 

If you're taking the belt off to change idler pullies and what not, you might as well change our your water pump as well.

 

I accidentally decided to do almost everything i was contemplating a while back. RIP wallet but yolo. Looking forward to these next couple weeks off to get the truck where i want her

 

Boss said my vacation days don't rollover.... so I called in to take them all.... they now rollover

 

Hmmmm I may look into it. Its def a process bc the SC belt and brackets associated with it have to come off before i can remove the serp belt
