MARYLAND TACOMAS

Good morning, my fellow frozen Neanderthals ! Man, it's a tit bit nipply out there right now.

 

what spring rate are you at? I’m wishing I would’ve went with a higher one instead of a lower one.

 

I think it is but it is stiff, especially with E rated tires. They are also valved firm. My wife said it rides like a truck. The lowest spring rate they offer is 720 lbs/in, which with your reg cab, would probably way too much.

 

Check out Toytec that’s what I went with.

 

I’ve got 828 lbs/in on there now. What are you running?

The one thing I’m not a fan of is that the springs are not flat on both ends. If I wanted to use another brand, I’d need to use a different isolator. I have really been considering 600/650 kings and seeing how they would feel.

 

I think 620 or 650LBS which was fine before I added all my skids. Now when making a hard left turn lift tire tends to rub the wheel well just a touch. That’s also the side with the gas tank and the battery as well so it’s a little heavier on the driver side.

 

Are you going tomorrow?

 

That makes sense. I think the Toytec are flat on both ends. I’m not sure you could even use the IM if you wanted… but maybe with the right base it could work.

 

For a little more we can get you a much nicer complete kit. Similar, but much better shocks, nicer UCA and a u-bolt flip kit. Actually we can probably swap the UCA to get a lot closer to that $3200 mark. No need for brake lines, and I would stay away from a uniball UCA. Shoot us a message if you have any questions.

It had been my plan to go but I think it’s best I don’t anymore. We got a notice that one of our kids friend tested positive yesterday. The kid is also on the basketball team with ours and they played a game last weekend. We know they were in pretty close contact 2 days ago playing without masks. While it’s unlikely we need to worry about it, we can’t be sure and I know there are some people that really can’t take a chance.

 

Noted and thank you I will definitely get at ya

 

Morning MD, hope you are all doing well, looking forward to hearing about the meet tomorrow, and I'll probably be thinking " I could be warm and eating a cheese steak right now" when I'm up a tree turning into an icicle waiting on deer to walk by.

 

So after talking your situation over with my wife she said my info was correct and you are on the right track, keep the sounds out for now and just keep giving her the love and attention she needs. She's an adult dog so it might take a long time for her to get comfortable again.

 

@armyofsquirrels do those crates fit in the cab or just the bed? Would two crates fit back to back in the cab? Mine likes to navigate from the front seat.

 

Edited to fix address per @crazyfingers Chuuuuuuck making sure I am not lost in east BF egypt tomorrow.

The official Rendezvous spot is "The Chesapeake House, I-95 at mile marker 97 between Exit 93 (MD 222) and Exit 100 (MD 272)
GPS Coordinates: 39.611788, -76.009365. The official Rendezvous time is 10:30 am ( Cc'ing @Jim=2015 TRD PRO for obvious reasons).



Most likely here, at the red X. The red or yellow route works. The whit route is reserved for white trucks @fatfurious2 right David?:



Probably won't need comms but just in case, since we are running straight up I-95 to Philly. You know the area once we get there so...........

 

If only there were pics of me back in my Disco Days. Life was silky back then, and I was taller.

 

Stay hydrated!

 

I’d truly love to see those pics.

 

With apologies to Steve Miller, some used to call Rob Maurice, others called him the Doctor of Love.

 

wait a sic I thought the meet was at the Chesapeake house?
