Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I had resi mounts welded to the frame:

 

Hey, guy!!!

Check this out! @Pixeltim put together a calendar for the WI crew. They're for sale here:

Get 'em while they're hot!!

 

DUDE!

That looks fantastic - Tim, you've outdone yourself.

 

We got to check one out at the brewery on Saturday, and they look fantastic. I can't wait to get one!

 

Got my order in at the brewery and I'm looking forward to hanging it up in the garage!

 

Ordered!

 

Strap it to the frame rail. Where else are you going to put it? I use the mix of worm gear/ band clamps and super heavy duty zip ties. And I wheel the snot out of my truck, never had one come loose.

 

The garage? Mine will adorn the fridge. Proper placement for public-ish viewing.

Sorry Dean. No "like" for you.

 

Mounted to frame rail using parts that came with my kit. Not sure how Dobnsins rolls but I’d imagine their kit would have something included. If it doesn’t, I think Archive sells mount kits and so does Accutune. Probably others too.

 

There's a beautiful picture of your trusty rig in there. Seen it myself in full printed glossy glory!

 

Ordered!

 

Back in the racing days, we would mount them piggy-back on the shock body. The only downside is the reservoirs can get hot mounted this way. I don't believe anyone ever damaged a shock/reservoir from the heat.

 

Heh. My friends and I spend more time hanging out in the garage than in the kitchen. There's a beer fridge out there.

 

Best money I've ever spent, right here.

 

Like Dean, I'd say that I generally spend more time in my buddies' garages than in their houses.

 

Should have come with a brackets for the reservoirs. Mount to the frame rails. I drilled and tapped mounting holes. Driver side forward of the axle and passenger rear of the axle seemed to work best. Here are two pics of where I had mine mounted.

Driver side


Passenger side

 

Thanks for those. Its so... clean.

 

I think at that point the truck had less then 2000 miles and hadn't seen dirt yet. It was nice to work on it then, didn't get the face full of dirt when laying underneath.

 

This is great! Ordered.

 

You can also get the fancy clamp things that hold it a couple inches from the shock.
