GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I am getting HOSED this tax season. Wiping me out for a bit. $3,600 bill.

 

Esh. Sorry to hear. We’re blessed to be getting a return (not huge) vs owing.

 

What’s your recommended model?

I’m just looking for a basic weekender kinda model. No need for dual zone, ice maker, supercharged uber overbro model.

 

Bummer.

 

I really like my JP series.

Same compressor as the ARB and has the hard plastic body. The metal ones seem to have a high rate of damage during shipping. They have some newer models that I've heard good things about, but I decided to go with the tried and true. You're welcome to borrow it if you want to take it for a test spin. It is currently my home office beer fridge

 

What size did you get?

 

JP40

 

Not available anymore. Looks like 32/43/53 are the JP size options now. I think 42 would be ideal. Not too big, not too small.

 

The 43QT is the JP40.

I plan to stop talking about it and start camping with the family this spring. So I'll finally be able to get real world "this is enough for X people" or "this isn't enough for a family of X" type of info. That said, I can't imagine this not being sufficient for a family of 5 for a weekend trip.

 

I had Georgia Powder Coating do my front bumper a few years ago. Really happy with them. They are in Gainesville.

 

I changed my rear brake shoes today.

Not too difficult.

After 155,000 miles, they still had life left in them.

 

that’s where I got the quote.

$180 sandblasting
$180 powder coating for my Avid Off-road bumper guard.

I’m going to see if I can throw in my new Square 1 mountain bike mounts at no extra cost. They said it’s a 3-5 day turnaround which is pretty quick.

 

Anyone know of a shop near Duluth/Lawrenceville/Snellville/Lilburn that can replace the front CV or CV boot on my 4Runner? I have all the stuff to do it but zero desire. I got stuck on a log and it got ripped.

 

If you have another axle ready to go in, just swing by and we can knock it out.

I have the tools to reboot, but I have not done one yet.

 

@Gilmorec61 has a good powder coater but I can't remember the name

 

Packer Industries in Smyrna.

They are outfitted to powdercoat dump truck beds so our little bumpers and skids are a drop of water to them. Awesome quality and super awesome rates.

they charged $175 to blast and powdercoat a set of sliders

$120 to blast and powdercoat a skid trio

IIRC it was $105 to blast and powdercoat my HC rear bumper, I provided the powder for that one.

 

Im trying to take my dad camping and fishing this weekend. Bringing my dog too. Looking to be able to hike a bit/have space for my pup to run free. Wheeling doesnt have to be included, but it would be cool to have my truck for base camp.

Anyone have any good spots they can recommend?

 

Freaking love your rims bro

 

Anyone local that creates decals by any chance? It's not urgent, just wanna get some made and wanna support local rather than ordering em online.

 

What was your turnaround time?

I’ve got some inquiries in but they aren’t answering emails.
