“Small” project I’m working on.

 

They do a different valve essentially one you can remove and put beads in. The beads are on the outside while the sensor is on the inside (rim vs tread) so you won't have have problems really. As you speed up they crowd to the outside to fill the balance. As you slow they stop getting enough force to go all the way around and will settle out. They don't come crashing down from the top - your wheel would have to be going full-tilt to nothing for that to happen. If that happens we got bigger issues.

Im just running stock tires now but if and when I get some E loads I'll probably get beads in those.

 

My new job works on a 4/10 schedule so I get Fridays off now, spent my first one off finally starting to get the lift I've been sitting on for months in. Started with the rear shocks thinking itd be nice and easy to build up some unfounded confidence, the top bolt on the oem's wouldn't come off without a fuss...decided to just cut em and be done with it. Grab the grinder, realize I have no cut off wheels so I hop on my bike and pedal over to the hardware store like a teenager to get some lmao. Took way longer than I wanted but the second shock went in much smoother since I knew what to expect. Did a shakedown run and didn't die so I'll chalk that up as a job well done anyone wanna help with the rest??

 

I'm your huckleberry.....

 

Next up would be a leaf pack swap and ubolt flip + the front which are fully assembled, you free any time soon?

 

Just got a new dash cam. My rexing was jacked up from the lipo battery. Just put in a Viofo with the wifi shenanigans. Whole new world!!!! Rear camera is much more intrusive the way the wire runs but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Just liked how out of the way the old one was. Oh well. I won't lie the WiFi is pretty cool. Pulling videos is a butt load easier but setting times and whatnot too. And this one has gps (tbd if that's a good thing or not....)

 

Happy to help... What leaf pack you going with?

Btw, jealous af on your 4/10s. We do it on holiday weeks to get our 40 but they want to see us Fridays.

 

Not a bad job.

What are you doing for bump stops?

 

I've got an hd pack from ats springs, should give me 2" they say and judging by the leafs i don't doubt it lol. The work schedule was just icing on the cake on top of everything else about the job, its weird but I think I'll adjust lmao

Stockers for now, probably gonna swap when I get uca's soon but not yet

 

Stockers don't work with ubolt flip FYI...

I'm going to have to make a choice soon... it's probably gonna be the durobumps...
I'd suggest getting whatever solution you choose, as you'll need to drill and tap the top plate BEFORE install. Unless it already is.

 

New here! from southcoast just bought my first Tacoma pro, maybe see u guys around!

 

Welcome

 

Whoops... it's the wheelers flip so the hole is there at least, might just go superbumps to keep it simple then

 

Discovered a fabulous restaurant last night in Cambridge, MA. Not cheap but memorable meal. Everything was superb. We tried two appetizers, three dishes and a couple of wines. Some of the best Cuban jazz I've heard. Free parking in the back.

I fucking love cuban food, gotta keep this in mind for date night

 

Welcome to Thunderdome. It's nice to see an influx of actual Tacoma owners here on TacomaWorld.

 

Next weekend I am getting my rear HC bumper installed and Sunday October 3rd I am headed up to Portsmith NH for a toyota overland jamboree, but the following weekend, Saturday Oct 9th I can hook you up. You free that day?

 

Where can I get these beads done?

 

The 9th is perfect because the rest of my October is basically spoken for lol, ill see if I can swing some bumps before then. Thank you

 

I have timbren bumpstops for my Wheelers ubolt flip kit. Whether you go with those, durabumps, superbumps, etc, they are all good.
