DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

General mechanics, or specialty (transmission/suspension/body)?

 

Mechanic I've got a server misfire, my truck's got better that 200k hard miles on it my be time to put a new engine in but I want and honest mechanic to make the call

 

Larry at LDS automotive, maybe, or Chayton at Tread Depot.
Pablo at Tandem would also be able to tell, but it would need to be Pablo.

 

Pablo at Tandem if your in that area or remotely close to it.

 

It's been almost 10 years since I was active on Tacomaworld. I just finished building my first gen enough to get it on the trails. Looking forward to meeting you guys and getting back into the community. I live in rockwall. Is there a meet up scheduled anytime soon?

 

Awesome! Welcome back. Any more photos of the SAS?

Looks like there's a Rigs & Coffee meet at Zero Breeze on Saturday the 8th, 11am-2pm; 1401 Summit Ave in Plano.
4/13 is Toyota Trail Riders monthly meeting at Chill Grapevine at 6:30pm.
4/22 is REI Overland Meet-up at REI Dallas, 1-3pm.
4/27-30 is DFW-TX4WD fun run @ Crossbar Ranch.
5/4-7 is Lone Star Toyota Jamboree @ BMRA.

 

Awesome, I'll have to start putting things on the calendar when I can. I haven't taken a ton of pictures of the sas, but here's a few of the process.

 

Looks good! I dig that bed bob too.

 

Toyota Jamboree is soon, looks good.

 

Is your truck going to be ready?

I've already swapped your diffs and they seem fine.

 

Thanks! I was looking into the jamboree while I was out in Gilmer a couple weeks ago for the first shakedown run. Looks like fun!

 

No I am figuring out steering and setting up the rear axle. Then you weld it all powdercoat and test it out. Probably going full Hydro on the front

Come on out man its a good time, your more than welcome to come setup a campsite with us. I grill and do meals. not a hotdog type dinner. Lork chops, baked beans fried apples.
Boudain, sausage and I forget what else O do

 

Officially part of the 35s club!!! no rubbing daily driving but definitely going to need a hammer to clear for suspension travel

 

Awesome! Much better! Is @Jkriegs.13 influencing you?

 

Maybe... A little lol been wanting them for a while but never had the funds to regear so he convinced me to just say fuck it and roll without. Hahah next up will hopefully be a rclt with 40s! But will be a couple years out for that.

 

Well good! 35’s in time for Jambo.
I’m regeared but heavier; you’re welcome to drive mine for a comparison.

 

Looking good! Maybe I can influence RCLT a bit sooner

 

No joke for the pinch weld remove the wheel and use a 10 pound sledge, much easier. The cab mount people over think too much, I cut mine and never capped it off. That mount is so stout without it and its easier to clean debris out of

It towed well when I had them in my truck. I would bet maybe 100ish miles to each tank but I was going 75-80 from new Mexico back here.

 

Already got it going.

 

This is how that fit after I cleared for 295. So no rubbing daily driving so far but definitely need to make room for suspension travel
