209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

I’m going to use the WFO kit

I ordered the coilovers and rear shocks 1st since who knows when they will show up

kit should be ordered in the next month or so

 

During my inspection i found a thing... probably a result of my truck leaving the ground doing 60mph in the desert with @bot102



probably going to go with https://www.marlincrawler.com/axles/front-axle-armor/hd-lca-frame-brace-2005-2015-tacoma




Reroute went well, he said $100 and i said $150 for letting me be annoying and walking around his shop while my trucks on the lift.




@CalTacoma09 if you havnt gotten yours done yet i recommend these guys. Jason the owner/manager guy i worked with was very easy going.

I had them do it this way to avoid moving the Y pipe and without making some crazy double S-turn system. I bent my heatshields up a little for some extra room and we checked clearance with the skid after i ran home to pick it up real fast lol



PSA. Just bring your skids with you

 

Nah... the stupid fuckers. that would say that, mostly hang out in the main Nor Cal thread.

They'd have to be completely stupid fucking dumbshit to actaully think that's political.

 

Sounds good, i will head over to this place once the truck is rollin again. Thanks for the heads up.

 

So, i’m think that my set of 255 ST maxx are going to be done after this season. I’m thinking of going 35s with the next set of tires.

list of things to do

• cmc
• cut fenders to make room
• Beat the hell out of the pitch weld
• Since I’m running king smoothies in the rear do i need to run spacers to account for the articulation and rubbing the shocks? @BudMan

is there anything that i’m missing?

 

Drink beer in the process?

 

Cheers gents.

Look at your texts

 

Sounds like i have everything covered.

 

Was a decision made on the outing in June? Is it a day trip or one night camp thing. Have a stock 2020 Trd with sliders.. is this trail run require bigger tires / more armor ?

 

If this trip is the part of the trail i’m thinking of you will need skids.

 

6-8 week wait for bamf skids .. dang it lol will try to tag along next time. Cant wait to see pictures /videos of your guys trip, sounds fun !!

 

Look at todays wholesale buy at work...241k miles..manual...minty...7200$

 

Uh oh. Looks like someone had an accident....

 

Well since you’re under there time to shave

 

Oh I’ve been looking. The question is how much?!

 

I think I’m just gonna do the Barnes4wd one when I do mine

I also changed my plan I got an 03 14 bolt with factory disc brakes

 

Ebrake included!

Which for me has become an annoying issue.

 

Yes! It uses the same r&p and carrier, so my gears and locker will go in no problem, just need to send the other install kit back for the correct one.
