    I went to Las Vegas Wheel Alignment & Brake on s Las Vegas Blvd. An old shop, with some older fellas working there. No frills no BS guys. They did it for $85 no problem and it drives soooo smooth now.
    They prefer to not accept credit cards, and dont expect big customer service but a mom and pop shop that worked well for me.
    If you scroll up they where just talking about alignment shops on this page or the one before

    That's where I ended up a few months ago. Sucks having lifetime alignments but can't actually use it.

    Anyone know where I can get replacement clips... IN VEGAS?

    Like the plastic clips for the grill, etc. That are super stupid weak and brittle. I need some. ASAP!

    Does anyone have a few spares?

    I've got a couple you could have if you still need by Monday night. I just ordered a bunch of them online and they came in last week as I was having the same problem. I'll be in Vegas Jan 14-15.

    That would be awesome. What size did you order, I could probably order some.

    I saw some on Amazon but I'm not sure what size to get

    These are the ones I bought, but didn't realize it shipped from China. 40 assorted plastic clips for $2.36 though and took about 1.5-2 weeks to arrive.

    Can anyone recommend a good mom/pop shop in town (preferably on the west side) for some Tacoma maintenance? Engine work.

    Not for me, but the woman's 2002 Yota needs a few things done, like her valve cover gaskets replaced. Instead of doing it ourselves... she wants to take it somewhere for a check-up and so it gets done right.

    I just got a lift and I have vibes coming from the front diff. I’m thinking I need the ECGS bushing. Has anyone done it themselves, or did you take it to a shop? I’m just trying to figure out if this is something I can install myself.

    I've never done it myself, but definitely something that you can do yourself if you're able to do basic repairs. This video explains it pretty well.

    Did a ~70 mile loop South of Las Vegas today.

    Found some wild horses as well. Was really tempted to get closer.

    I think I need some more travel. Rear shocks are my limit straps...

    Found a hang glider's ramp. Takes a special kind of crazy to willing run off a cliff.

    Looks like an awesome trip! Where were you? What kind of CB setup do you have? I'm trying to get mine up and running but I cant get it tuned. SWR keeps showing 3+.

    This was going around Potosi Mountain down to Good Springs and then back up to Vegas via Cottonwood. Below is a link to the general route I took.
    https://www.gaiagps.com/datasummary...map&openPrint=false&layer=SatelliteWithLabels

    If you need help getting tuned I can help out, just let me know. It's usually a grounding issue. Mine went from an SWR of 4:1 down to 1:1 across nearly all channels once I got a good ground. Below is a good article to read for grounding issues.
    https://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/troubleshooting-guides/18428219-testing-for-a-ground

    My CB is a Cobra C75WXST with a 5' Firestik II on a heavy duty spring with a folding attachment all on a Cali Raised mount.






    Ran the small connector box that the antenna cable, mic, and power wires connect to under the driver seat.






    Then ran the mic between the seat and center console, and when I don't need the mic it goes into the center console via the cable indentation.
