GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Since I have a bed cover, I did mine on the side which keeps me from having to remove the cover. Of course it's just for one bike.

 

That's actually a really good idea! If I ever put my tonneau back on this will be what I do.

 

I looked at the Rough Country extender just now. It is less rigid than Toyota's. 2 vertical ribs instead of 4.

 

I like to use milk crates to keep my htings in place. in the bed.

 

Try this one. See if the measurements work out. One of the reviews said they used it on a 1st gen tundra trd so it had Bilstein's on it and I believe the 1st gen tundra has the same front shock as the 2nd and 3rd gen tacoma basically. So I think it will work.

Ah, that's a good point! Oem it is, I guess!

 

Not that you need a ramp, but wanted to show you this extender. It’s more money but also doubles as a ramp. I ride a lot of dirtbikes, and this is pretty sweet.

That's actually a really neat idea, and I would end up using the ramp quite often. The price isn't bad either @ $220

Will be here next week!

1st new car in 6 years

 

I love the color, enjoy it!

 

I bought it. Now we wait and see, thanks Alan! Now when you gonna get some time to come bring your truck out??

 

well my youngest is about to turn 2, so 16 more years right? lol.

We just went family camping this weekend at the lake. Hopefully I'll be able to get out more soon.

 

Anyone know of a local shop that would replace bushing in lower control arms? I'm located in the Woodstock area.

 

I think Greer Automotive would be a good option. Local and heavily involved in the Yota world

 

If your bushings are shot, I'd look at your ball joints too. If they are leaking/torn then it's going to be easier to just get new LCA's. Might just be better to do that anyways before you go though all the trouble of replacing the bushings and then a year later the ball joints go. Then you can rebuild the ones you remove on your own time and have them ready to go when you need to do it again. Just my .02.

 

Been back and forth on whether to do new arms or not. I have trouble ponying up the $400 per arm for OEM. I'd probably get Mevotech off Rock Auto.

 

I got Moogs that were pretty cheap. They have been fine so far. Think it's been about 40k on them now. I have my OEMs that I'm putting new ball joints in so I'll have them ready to go when I need replace the Moogs.

 

Aww man that looks like a fun time. Glad you're getting out with the little one getting older. Btw truck looks sick!

 

Ohh really thought the same and I did install them mevotechs on 21 Jan of this year and they are already need replacing, good thing they come with a 5 year warranty
