GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I emailed back and Marie mentioned that there are no guarantees with the new year around the corner, and that the discount would likely not be as much.

Im not set on ADS, I am going to save a few hundred more and go with the Kings.

 

Did you call her? I would call and ask what she has in stock.

I was on the phone with her about something else today and she told me about the delay with my suspension order. I asked her what she had in stock that was similar and I ended up just going for adjusters in the front which she had. They just shipped today and now I won’t have to wait at all!

I would give her a call and ask what she has. Maybe she has a long travel set in 650 and with the aluminum bumper that works for ya.

Who’s coming over Saturday to help me do my Fronts, UCAs and AAL?!

 

That’s a good point. Already placed the King order but wouldn’t hurt to call and check

 

Thought you guys might get a kick out of some of the stuff we’ve brought in. I’m sure the quality is decent and props to the buyers for trying something new.

Didn't you do a write up on TW about your truck burning down? Maybe it was someone else but when I read the above it reminded me of that post.

Also, I enjoyed your thread "Tundy, house and beetle build thread...and exploring." Your not in Colorado anymore? Georgia now?

 

I found the lug nuts. I'd like to keep a few for spares, but just let me know how many you want/need.

 

What's up GA!

 

Hard shell rtt looks like the pretty standard ones these days with a decent price. Just wait for a sale and snag one!

 

Yes, that tundy and house build thread...at the beginning is the taco build up to the 5 months and 20k miles of camping. When it died unexpectedly that's when I made the poor decision to get the tundra.

By poor decision in my opinion, its mostly due to the high price for being not competitive in its class. And now that most people realize that, it is not holding its value as it would've in the past. I should've went with something used.

And yep, due to some life curveballs, I'm back on the east coast in GA.

 

If you need help I can probably come by. I've done a few AAL and front suspension installs on tacoma's and xterra's(same set up) over the past few years. C-claps really help with aal installs.

 

Where did you live in CO? I lived up in Evergreen for a while. Miss it alot

 

Hey man, watch this video before you do the AAL. It'll make the install an absolute breeze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq9nv_3vU4Y

 

Following up on this. @BYJOSHCOOK and @CowboyTaco may get a kick out of this since they were helping me diagnose.

Bet you guys will never guess what the squeak was from.

I ended up having someone bounce like crazy up and down on the sliders while I tried to narrow down the noise. Thought it was the UCA on the passenger's side... nope. Thought it was the body mount bushing on the right front... nope. Walked over to the other side of the truck , turned out it was just as loud on the Driver's side. WTF?



Popped the hood to start diving deeper, the sound stopped. Freakin hood latch squeaking every time the body flexes.

 

I've used zip ties before to hold the leaf pack together when installing an AAL

 

Funny, I was just wondering a few days ago what happened do your thread and then I read the above and put it all together.

 

There is a mod day next Saturday the 14th if you want to wait, but I understand if you don't haha

Haha damn, sometimes that's how it goes. My squeak turned out to be the overload leaf had rotated a bit and would squeak obnoxiously. Literally made me hate driving the truck

 

My truck squeaks during seasonal temperature changes. Which means that my truck is squeaking right now.

I bought 6 plugs from Advance Auto Parts last night and they look pretty close. I took a picture of one and uploaded it to the bottom of this thread: I'll try to get a side-by-side comparison with both plugs in the same picture; but at this point, I'm feeling more confident that they may be legitimate plugs. The ebay seller also said that I could send them back if I wasn't happy with them. So we'll see how they look when held side-by-side.

 

Denver, Golden, fairplay. Yeah the west is something else.

Minor changes and adjustments.

 

Awesome! Whatever you can spare, I’d be very appreciate of. I used up all my spares to make the full set that’s on the truck now, but like you said, a couple of actual spares are always good.
