Northern Virginia Roll Call

@iismatthew this is what you need to get

 

I'm just some rando who saw a tacoma and assumed it was on the world of tacomas - tacomaworld.

 

Went on a test drive. I didn't really think the body roll would be reduced by a significant amount, but it was certainly better. Definably beyond placebo amount better

 

might be a recommendation based on your search history... Welcome to Tacomaworld!!!!

Nice work. Degree of difficulty welding underneath a vehicle goes way up.

I just friggin bought a pair.

 

Anyone want one of these wheels free.99? Found 3 of them for free, but I have to take them all. I just want another +15 wheel to have as a spare. Specs are 17x7.5 +15

 

Anyone ever been to Gulches ORP in SC or Windrock in TN?

 

I’ve been to wind rock a few times for ATR, Appalachian Toyota roundup. It’s every Labor Day weekend.

 

From what I've read it's a decent park, wide trails, plenty of go-arounds. Worth the eight hour drive? I'm thinking about doing a few day trip to one of those joints.

 

It is but only if you've already explored rausch and AOAA. Those have a lot of fun trails and are a lot closer. What's nice about windrock is it's 24/7 so you can do night wheeling as well.

 

I always forget about AOAA. And some activities other than wheeling nearby could be done.

 

Setting toe is a pain in the butt.

Put on my crocs (with socks of course) and got it really close on second try

Coincidence? I think not

 

Really? I think it’s easy as long as you have a second person to hold the tape measure.

 

I don't have a second person lol.

jam nuts were kinda stuck to the ITR and my 14mm was really wanting to round the ITR hex, so I had to torch them for a minute. Then I overcorrected and had hella toe in, then I got it close but they were both pointing to the left. finally got it so they were straight with too much toe in, then adjusted each evenly to get it pretty close.

Do you jack under both lca simultaneously so suspension is loaded and then set from there? Just thought about doing that way. I was jacking one side at a time to make adjustments, then roll back and forth to resettle, then evaluate. Ended up being a hassle doing it one at a time

 

You can leave the truck on its own weight while you adjust the toe. Also a second person really helps. Once you measure the front and back and figure out the delta, you can calculate what your end goal distance is.

let’s say the front are 70” apart and the rear are 80” apart. Massive toe in. By splitting the difference, your end goal is 75” apart. So if you have a second person, you can hold the tape measure to the tire as you make adjustments, putting each side 2.5” out.

Obviously these are extreme numbers, just using them as an example.

 

I didn't think about trying to split the difference in measurements, but that actually makes a whole lot of sense. I was counting the difference in turns I made from side to side, but thats really just a relative measurement vs absolute

 

Tacoma owners hang out in FB groups mostly these days I tried to make a FB the other day. Kicked me out for not using my real name. Then it wanted my real phone number. Thats why I TW.

 

I dont have either of those things on my 4 fb profiles.

 

I must be Russian
It just said I violated community standards. Didn't explain anything. I assumed it was because I didn't use my real name.
