GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Nice, thats not too far, if there is some decent camping too I'll have to check it out when it warms up a bit. My son is old enough now that he enjoys camping and getting the truck a little dirty.

 

I got a punch from Napa to adjust mine. Way cheaper than a spanner wrench, and if I need extra leverage I put a big wrench on the end of it. Unfortunately I can remember what size i got...

 

haha sso and sos are definitely 2 different companies.

 

Did your coilovers not come with the tool to rotate the adjustment collar?

 

I think this is the consensus when it comes to adjusting coilovers without the wrench. I'd even say is more of the norm now b/c it's just easier.

I'm sure the $5 harbor freight punch set will get you going.

 

They're different companies. SSO is Baton Rouge LA and SOS is in Laurens, SC close to Greenville. I got my sliders at SOS and drove up to get them and saved on shipping.

 

Yeah, it was mostly a joke. The names and the bumpers are pretty similar and I get them confused constantly.

 

Why not get in on the awesome US Off-Road deal?

 

I used a combination of the tool included and then a 1/4 drive socket on a hand tool to get to the tight spots

 

A couple of reasons. One, the execution on the 1G and 2G are by far better than 3G. I just simply don't care for it.

Second is the bumper purchase is a good ways off, I need to address these mall tires before I ever have a need to winch.

 

Definitely get some good times as priority 1!

 

The mall generally does have good deals on tires...

 

I also want to get some new wheels too, so it's going to be a hot minute. Just realized I've spent over $1000 on this truck in seven weeks.

And it's a lot of stuff most people would find mundane.

 

Oh hell no! We got to fix that shit.

 

Once I get done with traveling for work next month I've gotta get it figured out. That and 2 other water problems, this rain is really killing me

 

Let me know, I got some skills in water infiltration.

 

Use this -

Worked great for the ~5 times I've had to adjust my Fox shocks. Jack up the truck so no weight's on the suspension, blast the threads on the collar with pb blaster, let it sit for a bit, then put the punch fully in and crank it. After a few uses the punch that fits will bend, so just toss it and get a new one when that happens.

 

Me too... Oh, wait, we're probably not talking about the same thing...

 

Yup, just don't use it too much after it starts to bend, or use one that isn't big enough. I used one i had which was a bit too loose and it started to bend the edge on Kings.

 

Lol, we might be. My uncle was a seal and we used to have breath holding contest when I was young. Stayed every summer down in Fernandina swimming.
