GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

New/used light bar finally installed!

 

Huge shout out to @CowboyTaco for giving me a hand with some suspension work.

Back on the road and now even better with new UCAs.

 

Always a pleasure!

You should post the pics of the before and after along with the bent spindle / steering knuckle.

 

Updated w/knuckle carnage

 

Thanks to those who came out to Red Clay Offroad today.

Raised over $500 in relief for members of the community effected by the tornados in Newnan.

 

Maybe you should upgrade to some with spindle gussets haha glad you are back together

 

Does anyone have any JBA UCAs that they are waiting to install?

 

Me

 

I just did mine this weekend on the 4R. Takes about 15mins a side

 

Just grabbed one of these. It’s a Ford branded ARB single portable kit for only $285. On back order, but who cares. Use code VIP50 for free shipping.

First you want me to get UCAs, now an air compressor. Stop trying to spend my money!

 

Wont be in stock for 4-6 weeks, so technically you could do both...

 

I wonder what the CFM rating is on that compressor.

This one is 2.12@0psi:

$83 TIREWELL Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor, 12V 150PSI Air Pump for Car, SUV, Motorcycle, Bicycle, Tire Inflator with Gauge, Air Car Pump with Battery Clamp and 5M Hose, Twin Cylinder Air Pump

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZXR9P6R/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8

This VIAR is 1.26@0psi:

$61 VIAIR 85P - 00085 Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor for Car, Truck & SUV 12V On/Offroad Tire Pump Air Compressor Portable Heavy Duty 60 PSI, Cigarette Plug, Twist Chuck

https://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-85P-Po...t=&hvlocphy=9011040&hvtargid=pla-370759626675

This ARB looks comparable at 2.65@0psi:

$386 ARB CKMP12 Portable Air Compressor 12V High Performance and Output Compressor

https://www.amazon.com/ARB-CKMP12-P...gid=pla-490738717419&ref=&adgrpid=62469739336

ARB claims that the CKMA12 and CKMA24 put out 3.06@0psi. https://arbusa.com/air-compressors/on-board-air-compressors/

 

It uses the ARB single. It's this same kit with a ford sticker on it

$386 ARB CKMP12 Portable Air Compressor 12V High Performance and Output Compressor

https://www.amazon.com/ARB-CKMP12-P...gid=pla-490738717419&ref=&adgrpid=62469739336

 

Yeah, but is that 2.65 or 3.08 @ 0psi? I guess either way, it's a lot faster than the cheap husky emergency compressor that I have.

A massive 5.65 is what they are saying on this Smittybilt:

$165 Smittybilt 5.65 CFM Air Compressor - 2781

https://www.amazon.com/Smittybilt-2...p/B004K25GMG/ref=psdc_155346011_t2_B004P9A35E

and just for comparison, here's another VIAIR at 2.3CFM@0psi:

VIAIR 400P - 40043 Tire Inflator Portable Offroad Air Compressor for Truck & SUV | 12V On/Off Road Tire Pump Air Compressor Portable Heavy Duty 150 PSI, up to 35" Tires, Alligator Clips

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X9AXR...39-a033-44d0-a47f-72936b2707e7&pd_rd_wg=jf9Q7

The one you linked appears to be the best deal. Except for maybe the Smitty if that number is accurate.

Out of curiosity, which compressor do you have @FirstGenTundra ?

 

Also, what compressor is @Gilmorec61 using in his top secret dual air/water portable compressor setup?

 

That's the same one that I have. I paid around $22 less on eBay. Looks like prices have gone up though.

 

0 PSI 2.65 CFM; 29 PSI 2.18 CFM

 

FWIW, this in the one I run.

Works fine, not that slow, not overly fast.

 

Baby 88p for the time being. Combined 3.0CFM. Have looked into other options but price point of kit would increase dramatically.
