    I'd tell you, but then I'd have to pew you.
    IMG_2883.jpg IMG_2884.jpg IMG_2885.jpg IMG_2886.jpg IMG_2887.jpg IMG_2888.jpg IMG_2889.jpg My truck took a hit. Top of the front driver side is leaned into the upper control arm. It's causing the inside of the tire to rub against the spindle and the upper control arm. The knuckle on the spindle has literally dug into the inside of the tire and created a permanent ditch (I'm hoping I can repair the tire as it's nearly new). The upper control arm is now touching too when I tried to align it back not realizing a bent spindle is a major cause behind this issue.

    Here in Toronto, Canada. A young male must be a part-time gigolo and a social service ball licker of sorts to survive the prices and taxes. I chose to defy the odds and buying this truck made me reconsider life choices lol but in all seriousness I've waited 11 years for this truck. I've wanted it for a really long time and I now finally have it. 2008 Tacoma Double Cab Trd SR5. Needs a spindle replace in order for me to begin driving it. I've only driven it once and that was to bring it home. Any reasonable assistance on this would be highly appreciated with Taconamatata blessing.

    -O

    P.s- Anyone else start highway stalking other Tacomas whenever they'd come across one while driving, when they first bought their Tacomas? I'm still driving my summer car maybe that's why but definitely not embarrassed to admit. Also because I'm pretty sure I recognized the guy's truck from this forum and a custom bumper looks a lot cooler in person than in pictures on these trucks. I remember from the forums that he didn't like that his front bumper wasn't aligned properly from the group order that took place this year. Pretty sure it was him. Sick truck. Let's make my truck cool too with a not-bent Spindle, folks ;|

    Warm greetings to everyone on this forum. You can call me O and no it has nothing to do with the gigolo thing in the beginning. I assure you I have enough shame, even if I live in Toronto haha.
