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

Just figured I’d share in case anyone is wondering.
I found a place that offers this service. But the prices are quite steep.

 

I just got my truck done at GP1 Automotive in Round Rock.

 

When we had that crazy hail storm awhile back I took my tundra there. Because they have good reviews and seemed like a great shop. But the work they did was terrible.
Overspray all over, bubbles on the edges of the panels they painted, they didn’t clear coat the D pillars, they forgot to put in the drip molding, and picking it up was a mess.
I paid once I picked up the truck. About 4 months later they call me saying I never paid my deductible and they were sending it to collections.
After both of us digging through paperwork we found that for some reason they just didn’t add it in to the bill. No big deal. But 4 months later you call me and expect to just hand over 1k on short notice or else it’s going to collections? Not cool.

 

Brian,

I agree they are a little lacking in intelligence, but other than 1 of my bed tie downs getting stolen, I did not have any problem with the work they did, re- wrapped the hood and roof, replaced the windshield and a taillight. I would give them a 3.7 star. If they had communicated a little better and provided my routine updates instead of my having to pull teeth to find out where we were in getting everything finished I would bump it to 4.2-4.3 stars.

 

My buddy just picked this 1973 F250 up yesterday. It's incredible. From what I could tell last night it has the classic 460 v8 big block with an edelbrock carb on top. He's looking for a shop (Austin and surrounding area) that could give this a good once-over and maybe note a few things that should be done immediately along with some TODOs to get done down the road. I know just enough dealing with the 73 FJ40 in the back to get myself in trouble, and I've found there aren't too many shops that want to deal with older parts, engines, carbs, points, etc. Any recommendations are appreciated. THANKS.

 

Ah, early 70's 460, hope you have an auxiliary tank, or two, in the bed.

 

Anyone looking to sell a prinsu roof rack? In the market for one and don’t feel the particular need to buy a brand new one. Also looking for a heretic 40in light bar for it as well.

 

How much you willing to spend on a used one?

 

What are you interested in selling the rack or light?

 

New Taco Who Dis?

 

That's a mighty blue truck you have there!

 

Yes indeed! Sadly it's just a loaner for a couple weeks

 

depends on how much you’re willing to pay

 

such a long bed

 

Imagine how us long bed owners feel every time we see y’all’s little dinky beds.

 

it’s the only thing that is dinky

 

Yeah, just imagine...

 

Its not the size of my bed, its how I load it!

 

It's not the bed size, but how many stars you can get.
