GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Thanks! It’s held up for at least 5 years now. I actually cheated and used plasti-dip as a primer, because I didn’t wanna screw around with the chrome and have the paint chip/peel quickly.

Check to see if any O’Reilly shop near you can do custom aerosols of paint for you. That’s actually what I used on the bumper because it was cheaper for more paint, then finished it with Dupli-color clear coat. I used Dupli-color “perfect match” on the grille, but for my color they quit selling it by the time I got around to the bumper.

 

Anyone near Jefferson GA coming towards hartsfield jackson this weekend for a TW express?

 

As promised here's a few pics of our trip

Brought the whole fam out even my boy louie

 

Legend says, it’s still there to this day

 

Very nice. I can see Bizz bopping down the road with the windows down blearing...Queen... “I see a little silhouette of a pink pp!!! Tinder bolts of lightning”!

 

That looks like a nice relaxing time. Kinda upset I didn't get to meet louie when I came by now, but next time for sure

 

Next time brotha! It was my wife's first time and she actually loved it lol so it seems like she wants to go camping somewhere close for 4th of July maybe we can get a group going if anybody wants to join?

 

Gonna be out on a boat the 4th sadly, but I'm down for something towards the end of the month! Should have my RTT by then too

 

Thinking about doing the face lift to my 06...

Trying to decide if it’s worth it.

 

You mean the 3rd Gen front end conversion?

 

Or the 2.5 gen?

 

2.5 gen. I don’t want to get Into the 3rd gen realm

 

Okay guys serious question would y'all recommend JBA UCA or SPC? I'm still stock and I did notice on the trail the ride upfront was a little harsh might be because also I dont have enough weight yet for my spring load

 

I had a JBAs on my 4R and thought they were fantastic.

 

I have dirt kings and they ride super smooth.

 

If you need the adjustability, SPC, if not I’d go with JBA.

SPC makes a phenomenal product, but their ball joints aren’t built to take a beating. I’ve gone through 2 sets of UBJ’s in the last 2 years. They warrantied them though so they stand behind their product, assuming you have proof of purchase.

 

If you go JBA, wait until September to buy them. That's when they are supposed to have a new source for their boots. Current boots will start cracking after only a few months. JBA is aware of this and has a warranty on them and will send you new ones when they get their new source sorted out which is supposed to be September now.

 

Does anyone have a transmission shop they’d recommend? I think dropping a trans at home is beyond my skill set, at least without a post lift.
