Just put a "Limited Edition" badge on the tail gate. You'll feel better about it.

 

Free advice.
Drink plenty of water and get a checkup at doctor once in a while.
Even if you feel good, even if you are young. Even if it's just an odd feeling you have once in a while that doesn't hurt and you assume it was a simple muscle twitch or whatever.

Avoid unpleasant surprises... like being told no driving, no exercise, and eat severely strict diet until more tests can be done to prove you won't die suddenly without warning. Ugh.
At least in my case the meds seem to finally be working after 3 days but they still haven't got me in for the extra tests doctor suggested.

 

We need a dislike button.

 

Yo, does anyone know of a shop that can rebuild coilovers within an hour or two of Nashville?

 

Little cheap fishing box does awesome for spare fuses, bulbs, and other tiny nice to haves in the truck. Keeps them from damage or getting lost in center console or under seat.

 

Hey everyone, my family and I are going to be vacationing in Sevierville in January. Can anyone recommend any trails that are nearby that we could check out. Nothing crazy so we don't get in over our heads, but we would really enjoy getting out there and seeing the beauty of Tennessee. Thanks

 

Anyone in the Nashville area feel like doing a dirt devil mission this week at some point. I’m in Franklin and we’ve got a lot of rain last couple days and it’s nice and muddy and water crossings are a little more fun. Went out yesterday and did about 20 miles of it. Let’s go!

 

Sounds like a lot of fun, if my SR5 was a 4x4 and I could get away, I would be there...

 

Try mill creek overland in nolensville

 

Thanks for the reply. They liaison and ship out to manufacturers.

 

wide open design in Murfreesboro?

 

They said they outsource too. I couldn’t find anyone local in the area so ill just wait and use my guy in CO when i go back

 

Have you thought about DIY the rebuild? I rebuilt mine this summer before I sold the truck. There are some good videos on YouTube that show how to do it step by step. The hardest part is getting the spring off and back on. But you can buy/rent spring compressors or find a local shop with one that will do that part for a few bucks.

 

Gotta get my lift installed before getting muddy so it is a cleaner process. After that I would be down.

 

End of an era, I traded the Tacoma for a 2015 Tundra TSS Off-Road.

Last pic of the Tacoma, the mileage I traded it with, and the new Tundra.





I’ll also have a few items for sale soon that I’ll make a post for.
Mobtown bolt on sliders with fill plates
Mobtown aluminum IFS & Trans skids
Stock off road suspension
Bed Mat for short bed
OEM Mud-flaps

 

Liked so I could unlike and then like again. Farewell Taco. Congrats on the Tundra.


It's getting lonely now.

 

I know exactly where the 1st picture was taken... lol

Hate to see a Taco go away, but someone will be getting a good low mileage one soon...

Nice new (to you) Tundra...

 

Any recommendations for basic suspension work in Nashville area? I have a new (take offs) set of Pro Fox shocks I need to get installed in place of my stock OR billys, but so low on time no telling when I'll get a garage day to do the work. This is a 2-3 hour job for someone with a lift, air tools, etc., but I've been quoted some ridiculous labor rates...

 

If you are up in the Gallatin area I know of one..

Bowles Complete Autocare & Tires
404 E Main Street, Gallatin, TN
(615) 675-4362

There is, or was anyway, a place in Madison area or Nashville (don't remember) called 4WD Parts or Four Wheel Drive Parts or similar that does a lot of custom work...

 

Thanks, I’m on the south side but Madison isn’t out of reach by any means. Will check them out
