Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

All those fancy electric do-dads don't do any good if you don't pay attention to them.
Kinda like backing up into a tree even though it's clearly visible in the rear view camera.

 

Yup... My tailgate has proof!

 

Need some advice:

1. Does anyone else feel like their alignment goes out after mild forest road driving? Would aftermarket UCAs correct this?

2. I've managed to mangle 3 of 4 skid plate bolts so I'm down to 1 holding it on. Does anyone near Milwaukee have a welder to replace the captured nuts or is there a skid plate that replaces them anyway? I've done a little looking and it seems most use the factory mounting holes.

 

My coworker got one recently and would definitely do it assuming it fit his footprint. Do you know what material you would want?

 

I could print that but all I have is PLA, they suggest PETG for us resistance. Paint might fix that

 

If your alignment is going out that quickly, then something is lose or broken

 

I personally have not had issues with the alignment getting out of wack after wheeling. Even after beating on it some in Moab.

Check in This Thread seems stripped bolts have been recently discussed.

 

Let me see what’s available for my Ender 5. What color are you thinking?

 

I've been pretty hard on mine for 3 years now since the post-lift alignment, and it still seems fine. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt meto get an adjustment, but nothing is noticeably out of whack.

I tend to agree with @CygnusX191 here


Might be time for some aftermarket skids.

 

Funny; I've been wanting to lift the seat in my cheapo Bass Pro Shops kayak as well. I used some scrap 2×4's in Florida and it definitely helped.

 

why did you park in the grass? the Toyboata should be in the water!

 

theres a bunch of online places that will do that for you too

I asked Discount Tires about KO3 tire release:

“The BFGoodrich K03 tires are currently not available for aftermarket replacement at this time. There is a possible availability some time in August, however this may just be on the 285 /70 R17 size and available only to dealerships. That is the current situation with the 275 65 R20 size.

Unfortunately there is no release date at this time for aftermarket replacement for either size and no other sizes have any type of release date.”

Oh trust me, they both went through water big time to get them out.
