GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Somehow I can see you out there with a tube of shoe goo. Lol

 

getn er done

 

So when I installed my ditch light brackets, I stripped/crossthreaded one of my hood bolts. Think I should go to my mechanic or my body shop?

I don't trust my skill set/don't have enough clearance/don't have the chaser tool to do it myself.

 

Just kidding. I'd call both and see how much they charge for such a thing.

 

There's even a video of it! That Element was awesome. I took it through way deeper crossings than it should have been and it never skipped a beat:




I miss the cab on the E. The interior was bar none the best of any vehicle I had. It was so functional, spacious, and comfortable.

I really wish it had more cargo space, I would have kept it longer. I got the Taco because the E couldn't tow enough and because it didn't have enough cargo room. The taco has all the cargo room I need. The taco's lacking when it comes to towing, but I towed a camper with a Honda Fit so my expectations are low. Anyways, the E was a fun run but I'll be keeping the taco until the wheels fall off.

 

Hey yall not new to GA but new to TW!

2016 DCSB 2wd v6 XP w/ a few cosmetics. More to come soon hopefully!

 

I had an element before my truck too. I got rid of it for the real 4wd and for towing as well. I believe if the added about two to three feet to the element and made it a little longer it would have been awesome. I did off road it quite a big. Took it on trails all the way up the Rockies into Canada. I lived in it full time for around two years. I miss the nomad life. Lol but I do love my truck even more than the element over all.

 

Nice! The "overland" 4Runner behind you must have had such mixed emotions. I plan to keep my Tacoma til the wheels fall off too.

Welcome!

 

I am getting very close to turning my home into an AirB&B down here in ATL.

In need of the following items:
- Bedroom stuff (bed, dresser, night stand)
- Dining room table (I may have this secured, but hate being an Indian Giver lol)

Hell if your getting rid of something that may be of use let me know.

There is a very small possibility that I may be moving for work. If that is the case, I have some stuff I would rather sell than move.

 

I appreciate ya. I am on the hunt. Looking to get it all’s set up in the next couple weeks.

 

FB marketplace beats CL and OfferUp when it comes to these kinds of finds. Better yet, download the Estate Sales .net app and have fun in Buckhead this weekend. Sunday stuff is typically 50-75% off. Bulk buys…money talks. Clean house!

 

Does anyone need a spare serpentine belt? I have an extra one, with 50K miles on it.

Belt is in good shape, great for a spare.

 

Anyone have experience or suggestions for a DIY level paint sprayer? Not a professional grade so primarily looking at the HPLV or airless units.

The current project of use will be a small playhouse/swing set I’m building for my kids. But I’m looking at this as a tool purchase that will be used on future projects as well.

 

No first hand experience, but I have heard that the $10 one at harbor freight is actually darn good. It just doesn't have a long usable life.

 

Anyone want to help install some suspension this weekend? My Ironman Nitro kit for the GX arrives on Saturday.

What kind of paint are you going to use? I have a Graco Airless which is great.

 

If only I didn’t have to go build stuff at the high school this weekend…. This would way more fun, and it looks like you’re not that far from me.

 

Parts come in on Saturday, so the plan was Sunday!

 

Exterior latex based paint + primer in one.

That airless Graco is definitely one I've looked at. I don't mind spending to get the right tool as long as it'll last and is worth it, but $300+ is a bit north of what I'd like to spend.

I'm afraid what I'm after is a unicorn. A sub $200 sprayer that can handle medium to big jobs well (most everything exterior and full rooms interior), while also being capable of some smaller detail oriented work when necessary (furniture/doors). Oh yea, and not be a royal PITA to setup/clean.

 

HF sells a Graco Clone
