GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

For a stranger, if I did paypal I wouldn't use F&F. You have no recourse if it falls through and they keep your money. I only do that on forums where there is a rating system and there's little concern about being screwed over. If it's craigslist, it's a meet in person kinda thing. safest and fastest is using paypal but as a purchase not a gift.

 

I have a set of front husky liners for a 2nd gen manual (The nicer soft rubber style and not sure if different than auto). Would sell dirt cheap

 

Anyone with a collision repair shop recommendation in/around Lawrenceville?

 

Oof. Hopefully it's just the bed and they can put a new one on.

 

That sucks. I've heard good things about Osborn bodyworks in Lilburn. They are around Arcado and 29. I've never been to them but have spoken to them on the phone about some things and the owner is very nice, responsive, and he's got pretty good google reviews. What happened? Seems like there are a few cars dinged up. Hope you're okay. The rear spring hanger looks crooked too so I'm thinking there's gonna be a little more than just a bed replacement.

 

*disclaimer not a mechanical person at all* but both of my back tires were turned to the right (guessing something with the rear axle) doesn't look like any frame damage the bed shifted up and hit the cab but I don't think it did any serious damage to the cab and have some front damage from me hitting the person in front of me. The guy side swiped me so really the main impact was just the side of his car to my bedside.

Down a hill somewhat around a curve (about 500 feet after the curve) the lady in front of me was waiting to turn into her neighborhood, guy was flying down the hill didn't see us stopped and hit me probably around 20ish after slamming on the breaks clipped me then hit someone else head on, he was in a old BMW thing was crushed...no idea how he had no injuries

 

Damn, glad you're okay. Just remember since it's a fairly new truck, even if insurance pays for the repairs, fight for compensation in a diminished value claim. There's a difference in resale value of a 0 accident vehicle and a 1 accident vehicle even it the repairs were completed perfectly. You may have to make a diminished value claim.

 

Aw man, sorry this happened! Hopefully you'll be back on the road again soon!

 

I've accepted payment through Zelle before.

Looking for mats for an Expedition.

Call a Toyota dealership and ask who they use. That will be your best bet for quality work and an OEM looking finish. As @MAG GRY TACO15 stated, fight for a diminished value claim once you get it repaired.

 

Don't forget we have a camping trip coming up the 20-22 at Earls Ford in Clayton

AutoNation's Toyota dealership in Buford has a collision center. Depending on who the insurance company is of who hit you, they may be a direct repair shop which will speed up repair times.

 

I just sent my SIL a text as she has essentially the same truck. I'll let you know what she says.

Anyone have some temp or part time work for my friend? He’s a tennis coach/instructor and has had almost zero business over the last few months thanks to rain.
No certifications but is pretty darn handy if trained, and not afraid of mild physical and/or outdoor work.
Lives in Roswell.
Thanks GA bros...

 

Good Morning GA... was underneath the truck a week or so ago and after pulling the skids I noticed the diff drop i put on the truck several years ago. Does anyone recommend leaving it alone or taking it off. I know they do little to no help for the diff but was just curious for some future plans.
Thanks for any info!

 

Since it's already installed, I'd just leave it. More of a hassle to take it out than leave it. As long as your skids still cover everything correctly I'd just leave it.

 

I was leaning that way but I have been test fitting some new skids and could shave off just a little clearance if it wasn't so far down. but I don't think it would be that big of a benefit. Thanks for the response

 

Last bump... for now....
Got some time on Sunday? Check the OP for details.
And I bought a box of Corona for whoever wants to hangout and/or help.

 

Anyone going up to near the SOS Concepts area in SC any time soon? Need a bumper TW express!
