British Columbia Roll Call - Let's see em!

I'm a very satisfied customer of Fab at Westcoast off-roaders.

No connection other than he's treated me very well as a customer.

 

Overland Outfitters in Cloverdale awesome shop awesome poeple

 

Only Lowriders in Surrey carry Eibach kits. I'll post a pic once it's done next week.

 

Hey all, still negotiating the new price of a Tacoma. I'm at MSRP but I'm having a hard time swallowing all of the associated fees (freight, admin, etc). Should I just take it at MSRP and run for $45,000 after fees tax not included?

 

I think I paid around 42 for my 2016 - and they were not negotiating a bit. 45 seems about right to me. but, i'm sure there's about a billion other opinions you'll get to hear...

 

Absolutely. I appreciate your input though. I purchased my 2016 used with 10,000km for about $38000 but technology of course has advanced and so have material costs.

 

Which trim are you getting?

 

TRD offroad access cab with a trade in, so I'm only paying tax on $15,000.

 

Hey Vancouverites -where do you go to get your truck washed? There seems to be pretty few options for self-wash facilities around here...

 

M&J Carwash on 4th. Buy the booklet of 20 washes. It's a steal.

 

Great to know - many thanks!

 

Picked up last week in Burnaby..

 

Mine is a 2” front 1” rear just FYI. No change in ride quality. I’m 5’9” and I’d say it makes it a bit awkward to climb into. Too high to step straight into and kinda too low to justify using the step. Steps are more for the kids.
I recently came from a Sierra so I’m still getting used to the smaller entry. I found once I lifted it that got worse for me. I actually have to make an effort to duck when getting it or I smoke my head. That’s the only complaint with lifting it.
If I could do it again I’d only go 1” in the front if they make them. I am adding Firestone Ride Rite air bags right now and once you block the back you have to either buy their spacer kit and modify or make your own for the 1” rear spacer application you added. That’s a pain in the #ss too.
Oh and I also had to make ebrake mount extensions on the leaf springs when I added the Ready Lift 1” rear blocks. The kit did not come with, nor were they available at the time anyways, a method to resecure the cable after adding the spacer. The ebrake cable was too tight to rebolt the mount. Ready Lift had no solution other than to disconnect the cable and remove the factory mount to keep it from dangling and just let the cable hang free or they said fabricate yourself.
Ya I was a little surprised too given the kit was advertised as ease to install.
Lucky for me I have the means to fabricate anything needed.

 

Where do you guys order OEM parts in Vancouver? I’m trying to find the bed step (

$236 PT392-35100 Toyota BedStep®

PT392-35100) but can't find the part on any Canadian sites.

 

that looks sweet

 

Lifted on Eibach Stage 1 kit with 2" front and 1" rear block. Done last week, drives much better compared to stock. Truck seems more planted and less bouncy.

 

I agree, getting in is a bit odd, I'm 5'11 and similar experience. Previous 2014 Tacoma woth similar lift was easier to get in...seemed like the door was bigger.

 

I haven't taken any pictures yet. Got 300kms on it 6M Sport in Windchill Pearl. Love the color. The truck is awesome. Got it at Courtenay Toyota. Ordered and waited 17 Weeks.

 

May fishing weather, before everything gets too hot out there..
