Colorado B.S. Thread

Dang it. I may be replacing the body mounts on my truck now to chase down the erratic pop from (I think) the driver side.

 

ordered the beefier ones off Amazon last night, they arrive tomorrow. Hope to get to them this weekend. Worst case, i pop off the current body mounts and they aren't the issue, i can just return the amazon parts.

 

I had a bad popping sound at one time and it ended up being lca bushings. I had replaced them with moogs at one point and they were slidsing in and out. Pretty sure it was @Wishbone Runner that saw them in Moab one year doing it. Replaced with white lines and haven’t had an issue since.

 

The original owner of the truck just replaces both LCAs with OEM, so I know it’s not those.

 

2nd gen tacoma for parts.

who needed spindles, ect?

 

My truck makes all sorts of noises, I just the radio up louder

 

@TomTomBikes didnt you need spindles? Or something? I can’t remember

 

Good looks, he's even removing them for me.

 

Atlas time

 

Thank you sir / moving here to avoid clutter in the trading post. I'll be bugging you about this as I continue the search. Alex has a 4runner case out in Junction, but I'm not heading there anytime soon.

That said, if we have a TW express westbound anytime soom I can offer up beer money.

Just stockpiling for now, but this is my ghetto atlas attempt, per se.

 

Do you mean eastbound? I assume you want the transfer case in GJ to make it back to the front range area…

 

January Moab trip? I can try and get some white rim. They close the Shafer trail though and the climb up Murphy, hardscrabble and Mineral bottom could be sketchy with snow

 

I'm not sure the timing, but I'll be headed out to CA and back to pick up my new Vagabond Drifter when it's ready and coming back through the Western Slope.

 

Wait. What direction is GJ / Cali from Denver? I assumed the TW train leaves Denver in most cases and makes it's way back here at some point, but yes if someone is heading from GJ east I'm happy to coordinate something that way as well!

Edit - If your Cali trip happens to be the most practical opportunity at that time, I'll gladly take you up on the offer. I'm in Ft Collins so just need to coordinate meetup in this area if/when the time comes.

 

Callie and I would probably like to get in on that again. I still need to regear, so there's that. White Rim is manageable undergeared, though, from what I remember during the last trip.

 

I like Moab.

 

Same. Just got back from there.

 

Speaking of bent spindles...

Now I’m getting paranoid and starting the research on what reinforcement clears SPC UCAs with ball joints.

 

Thanks to my fellow veterans for their service. It should be Veterans Day everyday.

 

X2!
