Did not finish.... will be finishing soon

 

I should clarify had to cut it short.
Rear shock problems along with other things. Will try again later after some repairs and adjustments to my set up.

I look at these easy runs as testing.

 

Did you fully test flex the rear suspension in the garage? Some people install the top leaf and a dummy spacer (equal to the leaf pack's thickness) to test travel and check for interference. e.g. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/icon-rxt-leaf-pack.505580/page-28#post-23636147

 

Thank you for the link I'll get it sorted out and try again.

 

Selling 2020 Tacoma Grille and a Spare Tire (Good Year Wrangler 265-70R16)

 

@Norilsk didn't you want the 2020 grille? The 2018 radar drops right in, but sits 10mm higher on the 2020 grille.

 

My stuff shipped out yesterday, I understand a bit more now on the price of shipping.

Its 2 packages due to the straps.

 

Apparently USPS is just more sensitive about large-sized parcels. The straps don't add much to the shipping cost. For perspective, BudBuilt would charge only $90 to ship a 1/4" aluminum fuel tank skid to my address.

 

anyone have a good reliable "air tire up system" they can share. I'm looking for something. In my runner i had installed a york so no worries, but the tacoma no room for that, so i have to go electric.. I was thinking get a generator and then a 120v electric compressor? any thoughts... I have been through a load of 12v cheepies mostly from canadian tire. I dont rally want to go that route again

 

Cant go wrong with the ARB twin, I have had mine for 4 years now. Works just like day 1.

 

Got a place close to you that can fill CO2 tanks inexpensively? That's the fastest way to air up a tire (like twice as fast as the ARB twin compressor).

 

Yep and you get to carry around a compressed air tank in your rig, super light, easy to store and secure.

 

A Power Tank is 10 lb and can air up 30x 35" tires on one fill. ARB twin is 19 lb. Unfortunately cost is about the same.

Another option is Viair 440P. About half the performance of the ARB twin at half the cost.

 

both great ideas, thanks. I'm looking at the web trying to find something, if not I'll get another cheepie 60 dollar one from crappy tire. I dont mind paying around 200-300 I think that is a fair price for a 12v compressor.

 

wow really the air tanks cost that much, damn.

 

Well there's this: https://www.4wheelparts.ca/p/smittybilt-5-65-cfm-air-compressor-2781/_/R-DSBP-2781

100% genuine Chineseium, so actual airflow is about 1/4 the advertised figure. (It'll take you twice as long to air up a 35" tire as the Viair, and four times as long as the ARB twin.)

 

you have a rally nice set up.

 

215.00 at my shop

 

asking prices for those grilles on used market is outrageous, people want $150+ for a $20 plastic. I'll wait couple years when market settles and people start selling them for dirt cheap again.

 

I paid $175... then took a sawzall to it within 48 hours.
