Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Truck suspension is now done! Huge thanks to @Camerasandcoffee for the assist and all of his knowledge. I owe ya buddy, and I'll definitely pay it forward and help out others!

Pics tomorrow. Too dark now.

TNT in Middleton has done all my vehicles. Can't really estimate price, they've given me good deals

 

Happy birthday @Thatbassguy

 

Thank you, sir!

 

Oh wow... Happy Birthday Assman! I'll have to buy you a beer next time I see you.

 

Whoa, wait! Is that the GR? I see an XSE badge on the hatch.

 

@Thatbassguy

 

Good eye. Not a GR

Happy Birthday James!

 

Thank you!

Do you have any estimate on the arrival of the GR?

 

I think the rollout will be similar to the next gen 4runner. The official date was fall 2022. Technically it's still fall, but I don't expect to see them on the road for quite some time.
Lots of talk about the GRs fetching upwards of 100k.

 

I had no idea!

Happy Birthday!

 

@Thatbassguy

 

$100K! Holy crap!

 

Thank you, guys!!

 

Happy birthday @Thatbassguy !

 

Now now!

 

Nowhere did anyone say anything about NextGen 4Runner coming out and fall of 22. Most likely the announcement will hit for fall of 23. It's unlikely they'll roll the 4Runner at the same time as the taco. Especially because we have information on the taco and we have nothing on the 4runner.

Unlikely to be at a dealership at that price. Toyota has started the crackdown on dealership markups. Now if they want to add a warranty or paint protection package or a dealership special with tire stripes that's on them but dealership adjustment fees are supposed to be going by the wayside according to Toyota. It's a new program and it will take time to roll out and start cracking down. But every dealership was told in September to either knock it off or have their inventory pulled.

 

So ran around 35 miles this morning and the ride was, well... not great. The front seems fine and at freeway speeds up to 70 everything was fine, smooth, no vibrations or anything. On the roads at speeds up to 40 or so, the back end is bouncing around a lot. In some spots on flat roads I felt like I was rolling on oval wheels in the back. The truck is up very high, around 4" when this was billed as a 2.5" lift. Should I be expecting this to settle and mellow out? I appreciate any insight here from experience. I'm not really aware of a break in period for suspension, but maybe this foam cell technology needs that. I'll hit up the chat support on the Ironman site too.

It looks great anyway...

 

hey it looks good though!
