Vegas BS Thread!

All my business with them was in person without any problems. You might have to show up in person .

 

Thank you @HelloFelix - It's over an hour drive each way for me but I'll try that next week. It was a great conversation when I was there in person, so I've been surprised.

 

The only time I gave them business was in person. Other times I didn’t receive a response. Luckily I’m not as far away as you are. Is there a specific reason you went with them being that far? I know there are quite a bit of other shops around town.

 

There's really not much closer to me - I shopped around, and the pricing for my options seemed pretty similar. I called several places and Rogue was the most knowledgeable or willing to talk on the phone, so I went by and had a great chat with them in person - they were very willing to spend time with me and I felt like I'd have good customer experience there; it's not like I'm buying a cheeseburger or something, yah know? So, I'm a bit perplexed by the current status of things. Lovely truck you have there, BTW!

 

I had a similar experience, talked alot over phone and facebook, but when it came down to scheduling the work go get done, they wouldnt answer. I ended up going to a different shop. It sucked because i almost missed a big trip i was planning because i got dicked around for a few days with them.

 

I’m assuming this means you’re north of town? Since almost all the other shops I know about are further south. I’ve heard rumor that Wreckdit fab and Custom Motorsports are moving North. Not helpful now but as a FYI for future reference. Also thank you! Im working towards making it primarily a trail truck now.

Honestly feel that’s the case with many shops here. Guess they just have enough people throwing money at them that one loss doesn’t bother them much.

 

Update for anyone interested - I finally talked to someone at Rogue today - the parts came in last week and I have an appointment scheduled next week. This is great progress, and hopefully the install will go smoothly (I've been accused (with some truth) of loving the Tacoma more than my husband ...so I'm nervous about the install, plus am all about expectation management when dealing with stuff like this). Thanks for the support and the info @HIYota @CGoss!!!!

 

Congrats on finally getting it scheduled. Should be fine. I’ve installed most of your typical lifts on Tacomas in a garage with hand tools. On old and rusted to new and shiny. If a guy with mechanical skills learned off YouTube can do it a off-road shop damn sure can.

 

Welcome! Been pretty quite in the thread but starting to pick up.

 

@DurtGrrl everything get installed? How’s the truck looking?

 

I came from Honda’s , Lexus’s and now Tacoma . I was a member in each relatable forum . Each forum in each city location , there was an eye spy post . Where people would take pictures of specific forum vehicles in the street , driving or parked . I think that would revive this Vegas post .

 

I still have my OG TW sticker on the truck.

 

Hey! Thanks for asking. The install of new shocks, UCA, and AAL from Rogue seemed to go smoothly the other day. I've only got about 55 mi on them now, but hope to get off pavement this weekend for a better test drive. Rogue did say to bring it back after 250 mi to make sure all the bolts etc are tightened like they want. I'm pretty happy with the ride at this point. Not sure how I feel about Rogue for future purchases or work - so definitely open to suggestions on shops. That said, the biggest thing is - "does the system work?" and so far so good.

 

I just got 90% of my suspension redone. The old stuff was 10ish years old and destroyed. Bought and installed myself new Fox 2.0. Attempted to get the front rebuilt but that is when the shit show ensued. Old Fox 2.5 were rusted and FUBAR, UCA uniball had a crap ton of play. Bought new Fox 2.5 DSC and had the uniball replaced by Battle Born Offroad. They did a great job imo. Took the new setup out to Mormon Wells with a group and it was a night and day difference compared to my clapped out stuff. Just wish we as a group didn't have an oddly stupid amount of issues so I could have pushed it a little more.

 

Wow, you definitely got some use and miles out of the old suspension! I'm impressed. Mormon Wells is a lovely bumpy road! Sorry about the issues with your group - hope you can get out again soon. I'd planned to get up to that exact road on Sunday but then had to unexpectedly spend Sunday at work due to an emergency. Headed to St George later this week so hope to get off road out thataways and see what the new ride is like. I'll be giving Battleborn a call next time I'm in the market for mods, probably this fall. Thanks for the info!

 

What's good vegas peeps! Fairly new in the Tacoma world and brand new resident here in vegas. Moved from Chicago two weeks ago. Just wanted to drop a quick hello and wave if you see me and my pup on the road

 

Oh btw I have my OEM '22 Tacoma grille for sale if any of you are interested. DM me ofr more info. Thanks!

 

Also, if anyone is selling bed cross bars that are compatible with OEM tonneau cover, I'm looking!

 

Thank you!
