Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

For my next trick I shall turn a custom built-in cabinet for a friend's place in Tosa into a new front bumper. Or maybe sliders. Or maybe a 2nd set of wheels and tires...

 

Looks real good Dean.

 

You mentioned if I had a stock UCA and alignment specs it would rub. Would just getting an alignment make it not rub? I really am not looking to spend the extra money on getting UCA's after just spending an arm and a leg on wheels and tires lmao

 

I need to figure out how to monetize my hobby to that degree!

 

It's possible that will work but no guarantees. When I researched the same question it seems the only true answer is no two trucks are the same and you have to find out what works for yours via trial & error.

 

Start selling Taco graphics! I still need to get out by you for the hood blackout decal. Did you get a 3rd gen to measure up for that yet?

 

yeah I guess I let you guys know. Wheels are supposedly coming tuesday and TPMS sensors wednesday and if everything comes on time I will mount it all on friday and send you guys pictures. Then I would probably get an alignment as soon as I can after that. Current timeframe for all of this. Best case scenario No rubbing on the UCA's That would not be good.

 

Noice! That looks really sharp, and I love the story behind it as well.

 

Got them on just in time!

 

It’s beautiful. But seeing how perfect it is makes me feel…confused. I would have no idea what to do with it! I like @Thatbassguy ’s idea of finding a mint cruiser that’s been rolled. I mean, I’d really only be interested in looking at the underside anyway.

 

Still no name...

so, I have 5 acres up against about 200 acres of green space in town (Ashland.) Took the puppy for a walk this morning and found this laying out in the back:



Well, gave the neighbor a call. not him, but a guy up the street a ways shot and lost one about dusk last night. He came by later and picked it up after I showed him where it was. My buddy on the other side has been watching this guy for a few weeks now... but missed his chance. He is sad. Still a spike running around the neighborhood...

 

Here's how I've been storing mine. I didn't like the idea of the bar sticking out, and it only takes a minute to put the bar and chain on. If I know I'm going to be using it a lot, I just put it together and set it on top of the tote.

How are the tires working out? Looks like they're sticking to the snow pretty good.

Whittlesey?

 

Damn that looks organized. I wish I had that skill.

 

I have s similar one, except mine says Husqvarna. I'm happy with it.

Good to see it was found and not wasted away.

 

Dude! Purty.... Also looks sturdy enough to park a Taco on

True.... But..... Quality parts make for a quality ride

Tell them you want positive caster. Between 2 and 4, but closer to 4 if possible.

 

My TPMS Sensors say they are now coming on thursday and I really hope they do because if they come on friday I wont be able to get my tires mounted till the 8th or 9th of December. Next week is thanksgiving break so I wouldnt be able to do it then

 

Wish you were closer, I'd have you swing by the shop at 4:30 and show you how to mount them. All you'd owe me would be two fresh McChickens
