Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

you could go drop your truck off there and have them make the first one!

 

I will be at said kegger. Keep the shipping charge. I'll have the accountant fudge the numbers

 

I'm looking forward to it! Should be fun!

Hmmm, perhaps Pat needs a custom "Binford Tools" decal for his shiny new cabinets.

Decided I'm going to start clearing out old stuff in the garage and not going back to stock. Anyone have interest in the following items? WI crew gets first dibs else will make classifieds later. Can TWExpress to the next shindig or pick up.

Free stuff:

• Stock 3+1 leaf pack that is sagged out? Will include stock U bolts/mounts.
• Stock upper control arms taken off at like 80k but still in okay-ish shape
• Stock lower control arms, ball joints seem okay but will need bushings since I cut old ones to get off the truck
• Stock Gen2.5 chrome grille
• Stock Gen2 fuel tank plastic "skid" plate. Doesn't include straps, you'd have to find those yourself.
• Stock Gen 2 front engine "skid" plates. Not the PRO skids, these are the thin sheet metal "skids" that come on the OffRoads. Better than nothing though, eh?
• Qty (2) Scepter blue water jugs - these are lighter duty models, not the super bombproof models

Not free stuff:

• Bilsten 6112 and 5160 shocks that I ran for 30k miles. The 6112s have less adjustment clip slots than the more recent models, likely better suited for a 2nd gen. Dirty appearance but good shape; can take photos im just lazy so far. Good amount of life left. Asking $300 or best. I have a spring compressor too so I can readjust the height for you too.
• Stock Gen2 LED tail lights. Good condition, I only replaced because I think they are ugly. No idea what these are worth, make a fair offer?

 

Down in Madison today, does anyone else see humor in this picture?

 

Now THAT would be hilarious!

Looking forward to the calendars. Might even have some beverages on standby, just in case.

 

What size would fit?

 

Welp, most of it is here, rest should show up tomorrow. I should have it mounted up for the 30th.

 

Leaf packs are the same '05 and up, correct?
How many miles? I have 40k on mine and they are pretty flat but not frowning.
Was looking at multi rate rxt's but if I found a clean set of low mile take offs I'd go Icon AAL, get rid of the rear lift blocks and call it a day.

 

Good option.

Also, modern yota leafs being flat is normal. The days of needing extreme U bends in leaf springs are long gone.

 

I've gathered that flat spring consensus by the threads I've searched, which is why mine are most likely ok considering 40k and very little hauling.
Just figured if there was a set someone immediately took off to upgrade. I'd take a 2k mile set over the 40.

 

Didn't really want to get into anything this winter but I'm already getting bored and the icon aal is going for $205 via icon.

 

Yes they are the same. Mine have 80k and are saggy, yours are better.

Not much progress this week. Hatch latch’s and some hard on work

 

and… gratuitous flatbed!

 

The different colors make it look like a lavatory seat.

 

Looks great, kids did an awesome job!
