    I'm not really in that area. But make sure you get your alignment checked out elsewhere after your lift. Tod at Tires Plus in Gladstone understands lifted trucks. Most of these lift shops in town will install the lift, but don't really have any idea, not tools to align properly. At least that's what he told me after being in the game for a while. I should note, he had nothing to gain when he told me that. I installed my ownlift and had it properly aligned when he told me this.

    Thanks for the info! The shop I'm getting my lift installed at is doing an alignment as well while I'm there, but they're adding $100 to the price quote for the alignment... So if you know of anywhere else I could go that's not too far for cheaper than that let me know!

    Hey guys I just moved up to the Kansas City area a few months ago looking to meet a few other taco owners around the area. If anyone is interested in getting a meet set up let me know!!

    Welcome! I'd definitely be interested in a meet. I'm a little over an hour East from Kansas City. Only problem is that it seems people that are on TacomaWorld in this area rarely get on....

    Ya from the post I can tell. well maybe we can change that I'm up for one anytime I'm not working. I'll be on here more often now that I found this local forum.

    Kinda surprised this thread isn't more active. There are a TON of tacos up here by Parkville. They are all pretty stock though. Must be broke as well! I've been looking for folks to do some wrenching with. This is my first Taco and I'm sure others in the local area have experience with most of my planned mods/repairs. I do most of my own work out of the garage, but transmissions are heavy! Maybe after I at least have the truck road worthy, We can all get a meet together. Sounds like a consolidated effort would be fun for all!

    I'm off 6th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, & 17th.
    So any of those days would be stellar.

    The 17th would probably be your best bet then, since everybody want to do it on a Sunday...

    I don't want to have to post-pone it a week for everyone, but then again, if we delay it we may get a larger group to come.
