GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Haha yea I did

 

I only have sliders and front skid and I was fine regarding body damage so you'll be fine. But even with a stock skid just pick your lines. @bryanbyers28 had stock skid and did just fine but of course he has the LT element. If you have 33's or bigger it'll help negate the fact you don't have decent skids too

 

Nice man! I go to Park Bar before every Falcons game. It's right in the thick of things. Nice find. Sounds like you had a well rounded trip.

I have an E46 M3 that is collecting dust in my garage. My project before this truck. Love BMW.

 

I'm on 31's, could do tires or skids. Decisions and what not.

 

Oh! Well I suggest skids, don't need 33s or 35s that's what armor is for. Bigger tires usually call for bigger mods and issues (gears, BFH, rubbing, more stress on components)

 

Ive got some heavily beat up aluminum skids from RCI, for a 2nd gen Tacoma, I’m willing to let go. It’s the transfer and transmission skid. I think I still have the cross member but more than likely no hardware. If you have access to a press you maybe able to straighten them out some.

 

I have my eye on an E46 M3. But I know I am going to regret it when it comes time to buy a house. I am trying to buy a house within the next 2 years, but damn does a E46 M3 sound goooood.

It was a good trip. I look forward to coming back out there and exploring more. Get lost in the South and find a hole in the wall place to eat.

 

I would have sold you mine for $5K and you could have driven it back to Cali!

 

I'll pay that right now if it's clean title

And I'll let you drive it when you come visit in CA.

 

Hmmm details? Is it actually running? Got any pics

 

pelfreybilt skids in 2 weeks, need to reroute exhaust.

 

Let me know where you go and how much it costs to get the reroute done.

 

What about lockers I don’t have any yet maybe by end of year??

 

Not necessary just pick a good line. Worst case is people have winches to help you up or back down and meet up somewhere else

 

Any recommendations on a cheap cb setup?

 

Personally I have a Cobra 19 DXIV and a 3ft firestik (with spring and k4a stud). Pretty budget friendly and it hasn't given any issue in the several years I've had it.

 

Yeah a cobra plus a 3-4’ firestick would be good.

 

Runs great. Hood needs a repaint and aftermarket bumper needs an install and paint. Original bumper mount cracked by the headlight and was sagging. PM me if you are interested.

 

I third this setup.
