Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

OME springs come with +, 0, and -. So the smaller should go on passenger side. The ebrake cable uses the factory screw to go in to the leaf pack, which doesn't look like you have. You should see a threaded hole in one of the leaf retainers.

 

OK thanks. So to be clear, - side should go on the passenger side with the - side towards the front? I think there is a hole in the retainer, which is right under the "Old" logo. I have not removed the old ones yet, one of the leaf packs was lost in Dallas

 

Yes, - should go on passenger. Military wrap goes to the front shackle.

 

Nice thank you. I picked up some bolts last night for the cables. Now I have to wait for ups to find the other spring, I am not hopeful and will probably be out of money because they lost it.

 

It depends on the property but I’d like something 24x48 with a 4 point lift. House shopping right now and having the flexibility to not need a 2 car garage off the bat opens a lot of options to get a couple acres and build a shop. Might be a pipe dream on my salary but could work

 

Just saw this taliban tan third Gen rolled by with color matched wheels and a full roof rack over his overland bed-whatever-thing an it looked pretty good

 

In todays market probably 15K for the pad (installed) and about 25K for a metal building

 

That with power? Budget was just under 40k with a lift so might have to do some shopping

 

nah that’s just shell power is easy to do later

unrelated, in Austin today and picked a taco as rental it only had 5 miles on it!

 

What ya doin?

 

Recommendations on paint shops around Austin to color match a camper shell? All the body shops I call either won’t do it or are only accepting insurance claims it seems

 

Did you call AMM on Manchaca Rd? Their usual backlog mass seems much smaller than usual - maybe they have availability.

 

Just called them after seeing this and they said they don’t do camper shells either

 

Anyone know of a shop that would be willing to take on a frame swap for a first gen? I keep coming up short. And if not, does anyone know of a warehouse or anything I could rent for a month to do the swap myself?

 

I've used this shop in the past for body work and they did pretty good, maybe check with them:
