Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

oh yikes those are never fun! just gotta take your time with it and it should turn out great.

 

Yessir, currently working on the kitchen reno now, then we'll skip our bathroom to prep for the baby room likely.

We've installed a new sink and faucet that is lightyears better, lol.

 

That was an exciting start to the day

 

Is that the one down in the west bottoms?

 

Was.

But yes

 

Pretty cool, Need a video! Is that even doable on here?

 

Ahh was wondering when they were going to destroy that thing... It was really falling apart. Bummed j missed it now lol

 

There's one here

Picked up a spare 16” trd beadlock that was a display model in St Jo, never mounted now I’m having buyers remorse. Thinking about returning it. Still searching for a trd skid for a 2023.

 

TRD skids aren't worth it. Heavy AF and hard as hell to mount.

Much better off with an RCI skid

 

I see one (RCI) on Market for $200, I just like the looks of the OEM and since it has an oil filter access I doubt I’ll be removing it too much.

 

The RCI has an even better oil filter access

 

The pro skids? If that’s heavy you should hit the gym lol

 

Yeah well that's just like your opinion man

But balancing it on one hand while fitting those stupid spacers while running the impact while lining up the holes...

 

The spacers are on retainers. You have to take each bolt out equally, you can’t just take each one out all the way.

they aren’t there if the dealer wrecked them..

 

I feel attacked

Lot of lube shops drop the entire skid for oil changes instead of using the built in access panel. Lot of those skids come in crooked and not set right.

 

Yeah I discovered that when I took mine in for the free toyotacare oil change and a couple weeks later noticed my skidplate was crooked. The retainer clip had moved and when they bolted it back on, it bottomed out on the retainer instead of the spacer.

I do it all myself after that.

 

It's funny how when people are paid flat rate they try and work fast.

 

Turns out when people aren’t paid enough to care, they don’t care lol

 

Fact
