What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

What a coincidence mine does too!

 

And catalytic converters too, yikes!

 

Who makes that plate you are using for setting the toe in?

Thanks

 

This was my first time using it and it’s an awesome tool for sure. Took me about 10 min to get toe set exactly where I wanted it.

 

Got myself a little early Christmas present. Saw a

$240 Viair 400P - 40043 Portable Compressor Kit. Tire Pump, Truck/SUV Tire Inflator, For Up to 35" Tires

Viair 400P on ebay for $220, threw out an offer of $170 because why not? Seller accepted, which was awesome, but then I open the box this morning to find that it's actually a 400P Automatic, which is awesomer. Can't beat 50% off even with BF sales.

 

Ok thank you.. that’s what I was thinking. Appreciate the feedback

 

Wife gave me a custom gift when she took my taco to work the other day. So thoughtful.

 

I'm gonna go grab a used 8' bed slide, will have to cut it down to make it fit thou, but the price is right!
Got it home, plywood off and frame trimmed to size, work on it more tomorrow

 

Try as we may, can't keep em new for ever, glad it wasn't worse

 

Im so sorry for your loss, and your divorce. J/k but thats a doozy!

 

4.56 gearing and a true trac for the rear.... Now just have to find time to install....

 

SOLD! - seriously. I ordered a set.

doesn’t the alignment change as the suspension compressed? Would this not need to be done at ride height?

 

Ouch!! What happened?

 

You near NOVA, Fredericksburg, or closer to Richmond?

 

How does that work.. interested

 

It may a little I’m sure but this got me well within a range I’m comfortable with and tracks very straight.

I am closer to Richmond but live in Williamsburg.

 

I have been "stringing" alignments, on my family cars and trucks, in my home garage for 40 years. The only time I took one for an alignment was after installing Bilsteins on my 2016 Taco and the mechanic said it was in spec and did not charge me. Had to do a few toe jobs from replacing suspension parts as well at straighten some steering wheels by adjusting tie rods. The only car I could not fix was a Lancer Ralliart my son bought that had previous rear damage. Even maxed out I could not straighten that rear wheel. I did take a few years of auto tech in the mid to late 1970's including front end training on old BEAR alignment equipment and worked at a dealer for a while. Have not worked as a "mechanic" since 1978 but I have saved thousands and thousands of $$$ doing my own repairs. Just don't have patience for body work.

 

So I'm gonna blame you for the fact that I ordered both the toe plates and the cam delete kit today. Hahaha
Saved 10 and 15% respectively.
