209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

It was me that mentioned ball joint press. Sorry... not familiar with the new fangled 2nd Gen stuff.

 

@Sharkfrog your truck is going to go through a metamorphosis this Saturday.
When are you getting the wheels and tires put on the truck?

 

I'm super stoked, been wanting to do this for a long time.

Probably as soon as the lift is done, I'll need to get an alignment done too right?

 

Yes sir

 

Any recommendations for an alignment shop?

 

This is something that I would be interested in as well. I have not found one that I'm overly excited about yet.

 

The one I used to go to was in a body shot but the kid that did it doesn’t work there anymore

 

I asked a few friends of mine... multiple people (with lifted trucks) are saying Jays Tires in Turlock.

That's what they are saying... I have no experience, personally, with them.

 

Well I just bought this to try and solve this stupid 2wd problem

I just called Noble Motorsports to see who they recommend since they install lifts. He told me they refer everyone to McCoy Tire on McHenry

 

McCoy tire on mchenry! Ask for mike he's the man

 

McCoy aligned me a couple times and was amazing. Go to McCoy

 

Awesome day! And we got er done. @Sharkfrog .... you gotta post pics when you get the wheels/tires mounted.

Your truck is a beast now

 

Told ya I was comin home for some steak!

 

Great day, was nice to meet you Matt and Cameron.
Cameron Pics are a must once you get the tires and rims on.

Edit: thanks for the help spooling the synthetic line on my winch.

 

Absolutely! It was definately great meeting you too John, and Cameron. Somehow I think we'll be meeting up again sometime soon.

I told my wife that her Chevy has officially been winched out of a gutter by a Toyota

 

Thanks again for coming out and for staying so long, it was great meeting you all. Pictures will be forthcoming once tires and wheels are done which will hopefully be Monday or Tuesday.

 

How long did it take? We had to put the RTT on a 4runner so it took longer then expected. We weren’t done until 3 which would have put me in Modesto about 4:30. Figured you guys would be done by then . Can’t wait to see pictures

 

It was 8:30ish when everyone left. We started a little late, bullshitted a little long and had a few complications setting the hight on the front coilovers, and getting the brackets for the remote reservoirs to work. We didn't even get to the ECGS bushing.

 

Man, I should of called, my bad. Sounds like a ECGS bushing mod day should be in the future. I’m going to do it even though everything still feels fine.
