Calling all Toyota owners in the Lynchburg and Charlottesville and surrounding areas!

I was gonna say the chain in the spare would be making that noise and the squeak being the leafs, but not sure about the front. Your shocks leaking? Any signs of abnormal wear on the suspension components? Brake dust shield? Something stuck in the stock skid plate? Who knows.

 

It kinda sounds like the noise that my truck was making after I put my lift on but I just had to get it aligned to fix the problem first I thought the shock spacers were on wrong on the struts and them to see if the coils were getting hit by anything and check the traction bar. I'm not exactly sure trying to rack my brain.


Had one of the guys I work with detail my truck today will take pics tomorrow but it looks damn good but I need to get it dirty again now. : mudding :

 

Did a bunch of little shit to the truck today. Repainted the stereo where I rushed it the first time, painted the tailgate with "Tacoma" (pics soon when it's day light), painted the button things that fills the holes where the rear fender flares came off, and also mocked up the wing extensions for my bumper:



This shows where I plan to attach a headlight hoop on the extended wing. I'm hopin to get the plates that AllPro uses on their center hoop and then building my own with them cuz I do t like how their center bar sticks out like a stinger and I want light hoops..

 

Looks good Travis!

 

Starting to really come together Travis now all you need are those new hubs.

 

Anyone see Matt on the TacomaWorld Instagram page?

Frank: Thanks man! The hubs were shipped today and should be here by Saturday, com in USPS Priority 2 day

Taylor: Thanks bro, it's slow but steady... and nice catch on Matt's truck!!

 

Negative on the stock skid plate, it's been off the truck since I lifted it. Shocks don't appear to be leaking. No signs of abnormal wear just see surface rust. I plan on spraying the breaks with brake cleaner/wipe them down when I change wheels and tires.

It wouldn't surprise me if another alignment would take care of it. I don't think they know what they are doing here when it comes to my truck at a German garage. The garage on post said they can't align it since I lifted.

Yea well they must not be the brightest bunch in the world then because shops do it all the time that and they may not have the right equipment or specs for the truck. Good luck if it continues let us know and we can try and figure it out.

 

That vibration around 20mph is bothering me. Also, I think there is one around 65, but I'm not sure.

Possible causes? I don't think it's the carrier bearing. I don't have that much lift.

 

How would it be a bad thing? It's putting your truck on the map. Go Matt!!!

 

Well it sounds like a driveline issue so I would try the CB drop first, then try some shims under the rear axle. It's usually 1 degree per inch of lift.

 

That's what I was thinking try some shims.

 

Shane how much you pay shipped for those apex series sliders? Those things are nice, thinking about getting those...

 

Anyone available for a flagpole trip. I have mon and tues off. Might head there sun Night and stay through tues

 

Oh snap:

 

For you guys looking for light bars I just came across relentless fabrications "rampage" series lights. They're double row and seem pretty affordable to me. They have 6", 12", 22", 32", 42" radius, and 50" radius. 6" is $89 and the 50" is $559. Wiring harness is an extra $20.

 

Bout time Brandon now your catching up in the sticker world.


Took a look at a new TX Pro tacoma double can today those trucks are awesome. Took some pics and it's cool that they have bilsteins stock and the rears have a resivoir stock. I may end up getting one of those before too long.

 

Had a couple yell at me, get their meal comped, complain, and waste an hour of my time today over a Salad (He ordered the wrong one) and the woman asked me "How do you not know how to melt butter?"

Fun times at the Barrel.



Truck related: I really don't think it's the carrier bearing. I didn't lift it that much.
Why am I getting any vibration with such a tame lift?
