GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Right on! I always set my search for 300-400 mile radius and always find better savings. I got my Taco in Knoxville for 15% less than an equivalent in the local ATL market, my previous truck (new F150) in Jefferson, NC for about the same 10-15% off. Just have to stay on the lookout and if you can don't be rushed to buy the first thing you see.
Take a day off work, make a day of it, enjoy the downtime, meet that old friend for lunch you haven't seen in a while cuz you live too far apart.... My favorite part of buying out of state is that long ride home, learning/testing/feeling out your new toy...

 

Found my truck on TW tbh, was looking and a thread popped up so I made an account haha. Spent a short weekend in Louisiana and drove it back. Found my Supra on CL, flew down to spend the weekend with my parents and drove it back. Pretty much given up on Georgia for used cars either that or I'm too picky

 

Yup, your limited if you just look in your own state

 

same. Was set on a mansmission then an autotragic popped up in NC with a whirlyboy3000 and figured I would compromise. In hindsight, super glad I went this route. I deal with too much traffic.

I was willing to travel nationally for my truck when I was shopping. Don’t be afraid to do some traveling for what you want

 

Mansmission and whirlyboy3000 haha. What's a turbo called in this dialect?

 

spinnywheel500

 

Or jammer

 

Stoked for mod day next weekend.

Waiting to be put on:
-Yakima rails for topper
-Prinsu Top Rack
-ADS fronts
- Icon UCAs


Should I get LCAs from rock auto?

 

Would be the cheapest option, haven’t heard any complaints

 

Or I was looking at these HD lower balljoints and then getting new bushings to rebuild mine since I'll have a ball joint tool anyway. Saves about $40

 

If it only saves $40 I would buy the whole LCA. Bushings and ball joints can be an unexpected PITA

 

Gonna put this Prinsu together for the Runner and stick it on.

Took me about 1.5hrs for the FJC. These things are like an erector set. You guys on here old enough to remember those?

 

I wish you could get that HD Joint already in a LCA. The complaint I hear about aftermarket UCAs is the quality of the ball joint.

 

ah I get that

 

Picked up these sliders yesterday for a deal too good to pass up. Time to start cutting mine off my truck to throw these on. Wanted sliders that stick out a bit more, have a kickout and fill plates and these fit the bill

 

Like the name on those

 

Guy I got em from used to work there and built them while he was there

 

Hard to beat that, straight from the maker.

Anyone have or know of a 1/4 front spacer I can get for my taco. Preferably in black.
The winch, batteries, etc gave me a little more rake than I need.
Thanks in advance

 

Maybe these? Not sure if you being a pro makes any difference.
