GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Just to be "that guy," if you work and drive that much, it might be wise to take the extra time and do the full rebuild so that it is totally fresh and you don't have to redo it down the road.

Also, on the wheel bearings, I went the Dorman route because of cost, availability and warranty (12 months). If I could do it again, I'd order from @05Taco4x4

 

I have a koyo bearing. I I do keep it up as much as possible. I want it to last me a very long time. That's what's so good about these trucks. I dont know another vehicle I can put tons of road miles, load the bed with home improvement stuff one day, then have it in woods the next. Gets decent mpgs for what it is, reliable, capable of anything I need it to do. A 70 series land cruiser pickup is the only vehicle (from a factory) on the planet that I would say is better.

 

X2 on 70 series. I would own one too if it was in the cards.

 

Speaking of what you own your list of trucks sounds awesome. I want to see your collection some day. Haha.

 

I got a buddy I town with a brand new 70 series, unfortunately he can’t tag it lol

 

Wow. That's awesome. Just gotta wait what 25 years?

 

Any recommendations for a shop that'll throw these on my truck for cheap? Gwinnett area

 

I think walmart will mount tires for $15/tire.

edit: just check, it's $10/ per tire extra if you didn't get the tires from walmart.

There's all sorts of random hole in the wall tire shops that will probably do all them for $50.

This one on google is local to us and gets good reviews. Id call them and see what they can do.

 

Ayye, nice! I'mma give them a call. I'd usually take it to Wal-mart too but I think their TLE is closed everywhere rn cause corona

 

but walmart will give you free rotations if that is your thing...

 

Anyone running one of the Tw members made seat spacer/jacker whatever you call it? I’m 6’ ish and have a back of an old man.... wondering if it would help. Seems like such a minor change wouldn’t make much of a difference but reading down some threads others swear by them?! Anyone coming to mod day run them?

 

I have em. They are amazing. I'm 5'11 170lbs with a blown out back. They are super helpful. Especially on long trips.

 

Which vendor did you go with... reason over others?

 

They're all the same. I went with the first guy who made them. Can't remember exactly. They are one piece CNC and were like $35 shipped years back.

 

True. I live walking distance from one too, but I tried calling like 3 stores rn an none of them have the TLE open sadly

 

I have them in mine and swear by them as well. How I tested before purchasing was by taking out the bolts and place shallow-well sockets replicating the effect. Took 5 mins to do and was instantly noticeable. I don’t remember the guys handle but he was located in FL.

 

I have a set. No complaints.

 

I got mine off this guy. Not cheap, but they are (.)(.)s!

Not sure where you live but Cole's Service Station in Lilburn is great. Good, honest guys.

 

They just recently shut their doors I believe.
