Vegas BS Thread!

bro its getting Crazy!

 

Just waiting for the mobs to start looting lol

 

I've just been doing projects and wheeling with the family. Lots of time off and the trails we go on don't have much of anybody on them. Going the weekdays helps

 

If anyone's interested I have a set of headlights off my 2016 TRDOR for sale. Only thing wrong is one tab on the passenger side is cracked but it's still intact. Just look up 2016 Tacoma headlight on Craigslist for pics.

 

Guys, I’m in need of some local help! I got an alignment at A Arrow (been going there for a few years) and my truck drove like crap and was all over the place and all around super sketchy..I took it back to them and he said he couldn’t get anymore caster into the truck and that was as good as it gets.. I called bullshit and took it to George’s and he got way more caster into the truck but added a half degree of camber. To me, those numbers look good. Anyone else chime in on this? Anyone have a better alignment shop to go to?

2001 Tacoma 4wd
ADS mid travel ext travel all around
TC uniball UCA
Newish OEM LCA’s
Brand new steering rack and tie rods.

safe to say my front end is extremely fresh and solid. Just wanna see if I could get more caster without sacrificing more camber with a tech that might know some tricks.

Here’s both alignments sheets:

 

Have some stuff for sale off a 2001 Tacoma as well.

Steering rack w/ poly bushings & 55k on it. (Driver boot is ripped a bit from when I took it off. -$150

Sway Bar w/ poly bushings - $50

Oem Spare tire mount - $25

Set of 4 + 1 Spare Oem star wheels with cooper st maxx with a bit of tread left. The center caps have the paint chipping but they aren’t broke or anything. (Spare has like 95% tread. - $300

 

I take my truck to the Firestone off of Ann and N Decatur for the lifetime alignment. Their main tech that works Monday-Friday has a built 2nd gen Tacoma so he knows how to align them if they're lifted. As long as you don't have UCAs with adjustable heim joints he'll take care of you.

 

I’ll have to keep that in mind. I went to the one on Durango last time I was in town and the tech refused to touch my camber and caster because I had aftermarket suspension

 

That really sucks, I went to 4 alignment shops before Aarow finally got mine fixed

 

just curiouse why the rack was replaced?

 

What’s your caster and camber figures looking like?

I replaced the rack because I needed new outer tres and was gonna just do both inner and outers while I was in there and randomly found a new rack with everything for like $100 more than just the tie rods lol. Bit the bullet and did a new rack, power steering flush, and have all new tres.

 

I did not keep a copy, I should have, I have SPC fully adjustable uppers so my numbers would not match unless you had the same anyway. Im in Phonix now the guy here adjusted them to eliminate all frame and body rub with my 16x8 rims 285/75/16 with 0 offset rims and 4.5 (or was it 4.0) backspacing

I did my outer tierods 2 years ago, my inner on my passenger side is ready to be replaced because of my own doing.

 

Just seeing what your caster vs camber numbers were, like if they 0’d your camber with enough caster. My roommate has the spcs and they are pretty sweet! Easy to get adjusted all good.

Damn, they suck the tire in quite a bit with that backspacing?

 

I feel you on that too.


Do you think our governor will extend the lock down?

 

Oh hell yeah

 

We called it! HahA

 

I have some brand new trail gear axle relocation plates for a 1st gen. Don’t need them as I’m taking a different route to center my axle. Asking $25.

3rd Gen suspension for sale. Everything here cost me $1750 brand new. Not including tax, shipping, the extra complete leaf pack, the extra special grease and grease gun to go with the control arms etc. Willing to sell the whole lot for $1200. Prefer not to split up right now but if people are interested in individual items, post up and maybe it can all go at the same time. Depending on your truck and setup this will net you 2-3" of lift and give a MUCH better ride than the stock crap. Everything has 20,000 miles or less and was on the truck for one year or less in Arizona basically the entire time. No rust, corrosion etc. but not mint condition either.

Dirt King ball joint UCAs + $40 tube of Prothane Supergrease with its own grease gun that you get to keep. Only way to avoid squeaks. Poly bushings replaced 1000 miles ago and will come with 4 extras also. The driver side ball joint seems loose, it doesnt seem to have play but it moves very easily. Might need to replace both of them to be on the safe side. They are
