What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

looks good

 

Finally got my truck back today. I just finished my Icon Ext Coilovers / LR UCA install and brought it in for alignment. Well, they couldn't get the LCA cam bolts to budge. Bushings were siezed solid to the cam bolts. So i had them put in new LCA and had it aligned. $1300 for LCA's, new cam bolts and alignment, and the whole front suspension is brand new now! Hopefully my extended brake hoses from All Pro will come in tomorrow so i can try out my new setup this weekend

 

Finished adjusting the coilovers & now she's sittin purrdy
Needs 285's though... Stock ones are ugly now.


Any advice on waiting to get it aligned? I imagine stuff will shift a bit after taking it out... ? Does it matter?

 

I got an alignment right away and will be getting another in a month. I've been told a month is a good time frame. But I would def get it aligned now because it has to be f'd! I know mine was. I didn't even want to drive it a mile.

 

My camber was HORRIBLE until I cranked the coilovers down & it's actually not too bad...
I just don't wanna pay twice for an alignment in another month

 

Firestone lifetime alignment for ~$180.

 

Same here. But it's worth it since I can do it anywhere in the US like after a wheeling trip, etc.

 

Cut down some trees with the brother- and father-in law on my day off. Cut 'em up, split 'em, and hauled them to his house. It was fun.



Brother's-in-law truck is the single cab. I bought mine a month (to the day) after he got his. I like both models a lot!

 

Ha! Just realised there's one a mile from my house!
But I wonder if my warranty will cover it... Haha

 

I used firestone on my last truck and it was hit or miss when the alignment was done. This time I am using sullivan tire. Same deal lifetime alignment and have been happy so far.

 

Picked up a set of LR UCAs this weekend, now to find the time to put them in.

 

Had the day off from work, but didn't have any mods that needed installing. So I figured I would relocate the horns. I know there is probably a dozen ways to this, but this is how I did it. Only had to extend one wire for a horn.

 

My third set of duratracs are sitting on some rims,waiting to rub the last remaining milage off the others or some snow in the forecast

 

Pulled the trigger on a 2014 Dutchmen Kodiak Express 166E hybrid travel trailer. $16500 OTD, the price included taxes, Equalizer WDH w/sway control, Tekonsha brake controller, dealer prep, door-mount mirrors, wheel chocks.

3100 lbs dry weight, sleeps 5-6, has the leafspring suspension so I can do an axle flip and get another four inches of ground clearance for those rough roads we all love.

 

fluid film undercoat!!

 

This is what i'm doing next May. Congrats man...I can't wait to get mine.

 

I paid for the Firestone Lifetime alignment service ($169) and my truck got laser alignment service. TOE and caster was out of spec a little bit and now it's been corrected.

 

Thanks, and best of luck with your purchase. I was looking at the Jayfeather hybrids, apx the same price for the fiberglass sides, maybe a couple thousand cheaper for the aluminum sides.

The R-Pod 178 was a nice value for a narrow trailer, I think it's 7-foot wide vs 8-foot for the traditional travel trailers, less amenities and sleeping room, lighter, one propane tank vs two. Well, best of luck to you . . . .

 

Sounds like U got a real lemon !

 

I've looked at a few.....so far i'm favoring the Jayflight but I wanna do some real shopping next year. Camping world opens next May here so I might get a grand opening steal.....I'm hoping.
