Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

No better than today you got time for bs you got time for a build thread. All about time management Jr.

 

They are all good, especially the middle. My budget allowed me the Vader mesh choice. So far, I'm "not like the rest!"

 

Hi All,
So i need to get the leaf spring recall done. I'm rolling 285/75/16s with an Add-A-Leaf. Will i run into issues after they swap the leaf packs and how high will it sit after I reinstall the Add-A-Leaf?

 

Sup man, I'd imagine you'll be sitting probably around the same after with the 3+1 packs.

But, they'll probably 'settle' out and you may want to add the AAL afterwards.

Is it a single leaf or progressive?

 

They may not re install the AAL. You'll need to provide them with new leaf spring center pins if they were able to re install

I'm running a Tough Country single leaf with Bilstien 5100.

 

Woke up to 15 degree temp. and 3 inches of new snow here in Salt Lake City. Damn I miss me some Austin Winter temps. I could actually work on the truck and not lose feeling in my hands. Enjoy fellas!

 

Probably my biggest weakness too

 

I can be your life/mod coach.

 

If I remember correctly the TSB leafs (3 to 4 stock leafs/leaves?) added just a bit less than an inch to my 09. I would expect the same without your add-a-leaf, then add in whatever the add-a-leaf put on your 3 leaf pack.

Also, were you planning on removing your add-a-leaf before going in? Unless you have pre-cleared it with them, they may bitch about them removing for you, as they do need to return the stock pack.

 

Don't want to burn by yourself? Need to bring others with you??

 

If I go down taking as many as I can with me

 

I've had the spring recall done and I'm running the Icon AAL and 5100. But I did the AAL after the spring recall replacement.

 

Just washed them yesterday for the first time. I would say maybe slightly easier than the stock wheels that the truck came with. Either way, that was actually a thought that went through my mind when buying...

Thank you to all those who liked and commented. I appreciate the love!

I am about to install A pillar lights. What do y'all recommend for switch placement? I am thinking of center console by drink holder. I have anot her switch to install for bed lights too. Kinda think that would look nice with 2 switches installed side by side.

 

I had some blanks on the left hand side and did push pin style



Lots and lots of options. If you plan to run a few different lighting setups I would honestly look into getting a Switch Pro or something of the like. @MattCowsmasher can probably help out with links.

 

Like Chad mentioned so many options, if your just gonna have 2 switches I would use some blank spots if you have some. However if your looking for a switch platform to build on further down the road you may want to invest in a SPOD setup like I have. I really like the simplicity of it once its setup literally just hookup positive an negative to the main box an thats it. If you show up saturday Id be all to happy to let you check it out an answer any questions you may have.

Im not one to charge mods but if you get the Amazon card you get 60 off the spod thats a really smart deal if you can swing it...link below have pics on my build for some reason Im unable to upload one
