Florida B.S. Thread

It seems Timbo is one of the few in the area who can be trusted with these kinds of jobs. I’ll have to make an appt in a few months when I receive my new suspension. Soo excited.. haha

 

Meanwhile... OlllllllO shite



Fancy aluminum intake...adds 2 cylinders to an I6. Says right on it in those ovals.

 

I’ve fallen into the same pattern with the FRS that I was in with the truck for a while. Fly out, order parts, fly home, install parts, lather, rinse, repeat. On the upside, parts are cheaper, so I’m able to get stuff done at a faster pace. Oddly enough, two of the last parts I need are the first two parts I ordered (headers and OFT tuner).
Mods so far:
Tein Coilovers
Whiteline adjustable sway bars
Cusco front and rear strut braces
MXP catback
VLAND tail lights (also have headlights, but they arrived missing parts)
Greddy front lip w/knock-off STI side skirts, spats, and diffuser (primarily to cover the multitude of scuffs and curb checks committed by the PO)
Avid 1 wheels w/ Michelin Pilot Sport 4AS 245/40R17 to replace the generic 5 stars and Ironman 215/45s

 

Damm that looks so good dude.

 

Thanks. I call it a 30/30 car. Looks good from 30 feet away or passing at 30 mph. The paint is full of nicks and scratches. Good thing it’s a light color.

 

So after what...6 years since I've had these fiberglass bedsides...I finally installed my gas filler neck assembly. However, the gas door still doesn't fit lol

 

Chris your truck is starting to look like @Rattletrap66

 

Nah, mine will always be better

 

Awesome Build on both Vehicles

I like the Silver & Black Combo.

My ‘21 Taco with Mostly OEM TRD upgrades, along with MESO interior and exterior Black accessories.

 

Someone talk me out of this. I REALLY want a manual. And if they match my Carvana trade in I’d be out the door owing less than 10k. Am I dumb for spending 31k on a 5 year old 95k mile Tacoma? https://www.autonationtoyotaweston....a-Tacoma-4c53d4e90a0e09af6a62d4e96e2cbffd.htm

 

Since it's a 2016 I'd ask about the timing chain cover and see if that's been replaced. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the vast majority of timing chain cover leaks on the 3rd gen have been in the 2016-early 2017 models.

 

Building go-fast cars now

 

Very impressive weight reduction! Kinda miffed your power to weight ratio though

 

Now you've shamed me into going out and working on that Heep, dammit.

 

I think my uncle is trying to drive me bat shit crazy...either than or give him a Gibbs Slap to the back of the head.

I says to him -- since he didn't want to run the Eldebrock 4 Brrl that was previously on it -- get me a Holley 2 Brrl. Even looked it up and provided him a link to the cheapest place I could find it. He bought a cheap Chinese replica of the stock 2 Brrl AMC used. So I says to him, take the factory intake to the machine shop and have it cleaned up and the mating surfaces trued since that replica carb would bolt right on and I'd be done with it. He shows up with an adapter plate for the aluminum 4 brrl intake, which I then determined wouldn't work for various clearance and vacuum leak reasons. When informed of this, he took the carb and the adapter plate down to the speed shop to try to find something that would work and then comes back and say they told him to hack up the adapter plate to provide clearance and I'm going to have to fab a piece of aluminum to cover the ends of the carb mounting slots that are open right into the intake. So now I get to mill off parts of the adapter plate by hand and fabricate a plate to go between the carb and the adapter...none of which would be necessary if he would have used the stock intake.



And we've just begun the battle over the wiring harnesses.

 

Hey ya'll been a Tacoma owner since April and loving it. I just found these forums and wanted to introduce myself and ask a quick question. Can anyone recommend a good window tint guy in the Ocala area thats fairly priced. TIA , and its good to be here.

 

Haven’t even made the first payment. Still have the 4runner

 

Tacoma is bae but those F-250's make me feel a certain kind of way. How do the two compare off road?

 

Won’t be taking this offroad at all. So can’t help on that part
