Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Humble suggestion:

can we start a new files PM? Seems like we can consolidate/clean up a few things. Also would be nice if we could somehow identify year, transmission type, and engine type with ECU ids.

I have a potential customer right now with a 2011 4x4 manual 4 cylinder. Going through the info on our files PM and having trouble determining if we have support

 

Got some stuff for sale in LV. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trd-or-stock-take-offs-icon-u-bolts-and-more.783768/

 

Are you heading to Reno? How many miles on the King Springs?

 

I unfortunately do not have any plans to make it up that way any time soon. Don't know if anyone is setting up a TW Express either.

If memory serves, the member from which I bought them said they had around 10k.

 

@Tour991 I'll be heading to Vegas early December and could potentially TW express something. 50/50 whether I'm flying or driving but I'd rather drive and shuttling parts would be a decent excuse.

 

I'm for sure driving to Vegas on the 3rd of December coming back on the 5th. Be glad to grab anything I can.

 

WTF does this mean?

 

Maybe he posted in the wrong thread. Or he has gone cray cray

 

Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted on weather I need them. Appreciate it.

 

wring thread fellas. My bad.

 

Bit of a long shot here but: Anyone able to help me throw on my Icon Leaf packs during this week/next weekend?
Or let me borrow a floor jack and a big chunk of wood so I can get the frame high enough, That little bottle jack is 1) a pain in the ass 2) scary 3) not tall enough

I'm gonna go to option 2 on the RXT's which means gotta take apart the pack, take out third leaf, throw in the overload they send with.
My trucks got a bit of the Carolina squat goin right now since I couldn't get those leafs in. worst case I pay a shop to do the leafs for me. Don't want to be driving up to idaho falls on thanksgiving with the lean like it is.

 

Update: I decided to Nut up and just buy a floor jack and C clamps. Harbor freight Black Friday started today so that helped some.

 

I'd love to give you a hand but you're about 6 hours from me. I installed RXTs on option 1 with my father, then switched to option 2 a year later and did it by myself. It is a pain maneuvering the packs into position, and an even bigger pain flexing them enough to get them into the shackles and bolted in, but its otherwise fairly straightforward.

 

I ended up just doing option 1. Mainly because I was tired. Just finished up 10 mins ago. And 2 because I’m planning on lowering the front another 1/4-1/2”

and I rarely have anything over 75 pounds in the bed. Even camping gear for me and 2 other buddies is barely 100 pounds. That picture has abt 120 in there between floor jack and jack stands and tools and old parts.

super stoked. Glad I didn’t take it to a shop. Had a blast working on it.

And shoutout to @la0d0g for doing my CMC and lending me some tools the first time I attempted to do the rear leafs.

Gonna call discount tire tomorrow and see where the heck my tires are that I ordered a week ago. Then I’m ready for snow wheeling!

 

So, you guys/gals do not put any weight in the back for winter driving?
My ARE MX with Walk-In door is 255 (according to ARE).
On my T100 I used to put 6 50lb bags of gravel in front of the wheel wells in winter, and spread it in the driveway or use it elsewhere come spring.

 

I put a few sand bags in the bed over the axle. Only carry them when there is ice/snow though.

 

I put 5 60lb sand bags behind the rear of my truck

 

Home Depot has TubeSand bags that have a plastic liner do they don’t get wet and freeze solid.

 

I was told that far back raised my front end.

 

I remember when I could go camping with just a cooler and sleeping bag. Not happening now with a wife and kids

My truck has always had a shell and I find that between the shell, my recovery gear, and the bin of winter gear I've always had plenty of weight. Now with 2 spares and a high clearance bumper with a swingout having enough weight on the rear axle is definitely not a concern.
