GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I could tell it wasn’t ACC based on the background of your pics, and I thought you’d mentioned some other hiccups with them doing the work.

Good to see it’s all coming together for ya!

 

Quick question. About to install a Prinsu on my FJC. Does Lowe’s sell the Silicon I need to put in the bolt holes? I mean 100% silicon is silicon right. Lol

 

Yup it'll be in the paint aisles and you should be able to get it in a small squeeze tube.

 

Too bad you aren’t right around the corner. Bought this one last week to fix a leaking window and have close to a whole tube left.

 

That’s exactly what I just bought. That and another Screwdriver Bit set, those damn Thanksgiving deals!
I got 45 piece set for $9, basically for a 30T star but lol

Dewalt has been dropping the ball. They need a 90 degree hammer drill.

 

The compact 20v stuff is kinda cool. I think they call it atomic or something

 

Speaking of Prinsu racks...got my front on yesterday. Someone find me a Top Rack for the rear!

 

Looking good. I’ll keep my eye out.

 

Anyone in here? Looks like a sos front

 

Put a nice lock on my gorilla gate! I put two on it, one on each side sandwich king the gate!




and here is the Prinsu installed with awning.

 

That is one fancy ass lock

 

LOL @ You guys and your small tubes of silicon.

I've been trying to convince myself that I both need and shouldn't get that snorkel. For $255 right now, it's kind of hard not to...

Funny that you mention sound deadening. I bought some Shok Industries through someone on the forum. The stuff that I installed immediately is still holding on strong and I could notice a difference in where the sound was coming from. To be more specific on that last sentence, I installed it along the back wall immediately. It didn't quiet down the cab except that I could tell the sound was now coming from everywhere except the back wall.

I waited a few years to install it in the front doors and it was kind of hit or miss on the success of the install. The adhesive had gotten weak. I picked up a box of Noico from another member in TX who did not use all that he had purchased. I procrastinated installing that stuff too. So this week, I decided that I was finally going to install all of it. Well, the Shok Industries has pretty much separated itself from the adhesive and it would just slide off...kind of like breaking up chunks of ice on a sidewalk. So...that stuff pretty much turned to worthless. The Noico seems to be in good condition still. So to date, I've done the back wall in Shok Industries and the front 2 doors and the driver side rear with Noico. I spent a LOT of time last night pulling out the Shok Industries stuff that wasn't sticking very well (i.e. peeling back), cleaning the metal surface, and installing the Noico. I'll get to the last door tonight. I'm really hopeful that it makes a big difference.

Lookin' good!

 

Random... But does anyone happen to have any or know of any trd OR rear take off shocks (yellow bilstein) I noticed one of mine is blown. 2018 Tundra

 

I do. They only had like 3K on them before I put the Icons on.

 

Tundra or Taco?

 

Use it as an excuse to upgrade to some 5100’s. Cheap-ish solid upgrade

 

Well i have no intention of swapping out the fronts so I'd rather have them all match. They used to see high speed gravel and dirt frequently hence overheating and blowing it, but don't see that happening round these parts.

 

Taco bud

 

anyone have ideas on how to build a fridge side that I could use in this manner.

I want a fridge slide on a slide.
By that I mean I want the fridge to be in arms reach in the FJC, like right behind the passenger seat, in a locked position.
But then, being able to pull it all the way out of the back tailgate, and have it lock in another position to load and use at camp. The rear seats are always laid down in my FJC, so I have no problem building something over the split seat.

thoughts?

And no, I don’t want to strap my fridge to a skateboard in the back on a track. Hey what one minute...

 

I think you can get two way drawer slides.
