Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Cleanest the engine bay has been clean in 6 years.

 

Trying to turn that truck into a camara whore like geekhouse?

 

Looks like the Dealership is open for a few hours a day starting Monday.
I get to join you guys maybe Wednesday.
Got a Quicksand 2020 DCLB in "quarantine" that I tried to pick up March 15th. Never happened.

And a few stashed parts and pieces for the truck I don't have yet in the back shop already.

I have a few trucks now. I've owned many trucks. For some reason.....this one I'm actually exited about.

 

Quicksand is the best color

 

It was funny. That was one of the colors we test drove twice. My wife hated it.......and I wasn't a fan......at first.
But seeing it and others in different lights and conditions , we started to come around.
And I love it against matte black.
I said to myself......"This is the one I'm going to build out a little and I think it will look really cool!"

 

I really like mine. It’s a unique color and the dirt kinda blends in. Also super easy to find in parking lots cuz there’s not many of them lol

 

"Taliban Tan"

 

X2 all day

 

You obviously have exquisite taste! I may be slightly biased...

 

So my father came over and we didnt do a complete CMC we just shaved it back until everything was clear. With my dads expertise and wisdom and some trimming i got them to fit with no rub. Negative 38 offset with cooper stt pros 265 70 17!!! I only took one picture of what we shaved but we did end up painting everything.

 

Good picture! I can't wait to get back there again!

Hopefully the parks are open by frickin' August!

 

Does the sun ever shine in this fucking state?!! Seriously.. (end rant)

So here's my question for any of you guys with aftermarket suspension... With my steel front bumper, the springs on my coilovers have finally settled, and I rub a little again on full lock at full compression. I need to adjust my coilovers to give me a little more preload.

Does anyone have a proper spring compressor or know a shop they actually trust that can adjust my coilovers? With my 700 Lb King springs I tried to adjust the coilovers, but cannot, I actually bent the collar a little trying. I need to take them off the truck and get them on a proper spring compressor. I emailed Chitown Offroad and they are setting up their shop suspension area and told me I'd have to wait an indeterminate amount of time.

I can't go bouncing down the Pipeline trail again until this gets fixed. And damn do I need a good off-roading fix. So tired of being cooped up.

 

Holy shit...that tacoma looks so much like mine, I thought it was me.

 

Word! Though, you’re one up on me with the snorkel and the hammer hangers and rear HC bumper (though I have a bumper in the works).

 

When you start cutting, shit gets real....



Those types of mods days are fun as hell!

 

I have been working with Performance Off Road in Sussex, and I'm very happy with them. They assembled my 6112's, did a BMC, and fabricated a custom front skid plate for me. Everything has been good so far.

Agreed, ive done some cutting on her already... and I’ve been contemplating trimming my fenders 2” all the way around since I already ditched the flairs and run 34s, but haven’t gotten that far. Still sorting out how to make a line clean line to cut.

 

I haven't cut any metal, yet. But, I was pretty nervous hacking into the bumper. I'm damn happy with the results, though!

 

Painters tape, marker. Hit it with a. Cutoff wheel, sand to your hearts content.

 

something like this.
