GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Let me know when to roll out. I will caravan with ya.

 

Ive got a local Supra guy going to let me borrow his. But just let me know on yours because he may need his sooner than I may be done

 

Jbroke - Think you can get the rims off of it before it goes?

 

Hello all! Miss you guys.

 

Dang it Josh that’s tempting...
I have a long list of small/medium stuff I want to get done. Would be fun to have a second set of eyes and opinion while doing the work. But The ‘Rona got me second guessing everything in life. AND just found out my mom’s showing symptoms and she only been to grocery and pharmacy a couple times this past couple weeks. Hitting close to home.
Man this shit better be over soon! Need some mod days and some trail rides and some camping trips aaaannnndddd some range time!!!

 

And some range time!

 

Ha no worries! I understand it’s crazy out there. One reason why I’m trying to stay busy

 

Hey guys, random post but I was bored and looking at potential mods, as usual.

If anyone’s looking to put on a front bumper/winch mount that doesn’t make the front end weigh a ton, this is coming out from Marlin. I had their (awesome) rear bumper on my 80’s 4Runners

Amen Scott! How could I forget? Edited my OP... Haha!

I hope we get to meet up soon. I have a couple new AR builds that need zeroing and exercise.

 

I have a new BCG that has not been fired yet.

 

When it comes to Marlin Crawler, don't hold your breath. He said he's been coming out with stuff and it just never happens. If it doesn't say in-stock on the website good luck getting it. Takes forever

 

Does anyone have these for their truck?

if so could I try them. I don’t find the seats uncomfortable but thing this will only improve the ride and don’t want to spend the coin if it isn’t really noticeable.

 

I have those on the driver. It made a big difference. On my drives to florida (9 hours) I would get a decent amount of back pain plus my knee would rest on the plastic on the door and eventually hurt. Changes the angle so that the bottom of your legs are supported when driving. No longer get nearly as much pain when driving long distances. Can't say it makes the seats any better but you feel more supported.

 

Shit, then your lucky. These seats in comparison to my runner are horrible.
Specifically the position. Your still young is what it is

 

The seat is what sold me on it.

I lost a ton of weight last year and most seats give me a literal pain in the ass. It’s the Tacoma seat and this IKEA office chair that are the exceptions.

 

I like the material and mine is pretty sporty in the Pro. It’s the position that gets to me. Seat feels soooo flat, feels like a go-cart position.

 

Anyone have experience with a paint sealer or ceramic coating? With all this time on my hands now it’d be nice to put something on the Ford that’s super durable/long lasting and super low maintenance, since it’s my daily and lives outside.

 

I have experience with Ceramic Pro. It’s great, but expect to pay 1500-2000 for a dealer to do it.

There are also a couple that you can do yourself that promise a 1-2 year life.

If the car is absolutely perfect paint wise, it’s not hard as long you follow the instructions. If it’s not you need to remove contamination, fix any imperfections and then apply which takes a lot of time and tools.

After all that, it still won’t protect against scratches and you still have to take care of it to get the most life out of it.

There are a lot of good long life sealants that you can apply every 6-12mos much easier and cheaper. Still, it’s all in the prep. Before you put anything on the paint it has to be free of contamination.


Just corrected my truck today and applied Chemical Guys Jet Seal. We’ll see how long it lasts. It claims 12mons

 

New wheel day (not the taco)
Still no frame to use them on though

I know you guys prolly don’t care, but I’m flippin pump! Crazy good deal that I couldn’t pass up.
