GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Not a fan of the tire carriers. If I get the AP it would probably be this one with the LED light bar hoop...

 

I like it! I wanted the AP Apex, but it was way too high with all the add-ons I wanted, so I just went with the TG tube b/c it's basically the same as the AP Baja, but cheaper. I'm def getting AP's rear bumper though. All their shit looks so good!

 

This is the one I think I really want. Not sure yet though

 

^ y'all are almost making me wish I had a 2nd gen!

 

This goes on Tuesday!!!!!

 

If any of y'all want some offroad rims, I got some for sale

Don't say stupid things you don't mean...our 1st gens are still superior

Hell yeah! I bet it's killing you!

 

Haha, true! Thanks for gettin me back in check!

And I'd say I might would be available Tuesday to lend a hand w/ that lift since there's a chance of rain, but then I realized you're up in Blue Ridge haha

 

Get some chain or ratchet straps to help put the new struts in. Wrap them around the lower control arm and pull down like your life depends on it and have someone else side the strut in. Are you replacing the UCA's too? If you are I would pull the stock UCA's out, then the stock struts, then install the new struts BEFORE you put new UCA's in. It will save you a big headache.

 

We did mine with a spring compressor we rented from Auto Zone for $50. That, and a ratchet set and a few other tools is all we needed

 

I did not like or feel comfortable with the spring compressor I rented from AutoZone. I had a shop assemble the other one for me. That shit was a ticking kinetic explosion.

 

Very true. We were wearing full faced helmets while tightening them haha

 

I was trying not to stand over/near/next to the damn thing the entire time lol. $40 bucks to have the other assembled at a shop was worth it to me. Of course the didn't put one of the bushings back on and it rode like shit but I made them fix it.

 

Thought I'd drop by and say what's up. Been out here for a couple months. I'll be out here till July at Ft. Benning.

Seen a couple good lookin Tacomas off post. Anyone live nearby?

 

I'm just takin it to a shop Tuesday on my way to work. They're like 2 minutes away from where I work. Just gonna drop it off that morning and pick it up after work. Save me the time of doin it myself.

 

The safety pin on the spring compressor we rented wouldn't fit with the OME 885s. We took the safety pin out and used a concrete nail as a safety pin and put a piece of duct tape over the nail head to keep it from sliding out. Worked pretty well.

 

The rain isn't stopping our good time

 

very nice.

I was debating doing something, but I was out in it this week in the field. I'm enjoying staying dry now.

Anyone know a good place around Columbus/ft Benning for window tint?

 

Where's this at?

 

CAMPING SHENANIGANS?!?
