GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

@Marcmtb1 are you in another forum now? AZ?

 

Hey! I’m a lurker, but not really involved in any forum at this point. When I finish up learning to fly this new plane, I’ll show up to an AZ meetup and get that going.

Flirting with a GX460 right now. Gave up on the Land Cruiser/ LX idea after finding the Highlander. If the market doesn’t calm down, I’ll prob end up experimenting with a Magnusen this Fall and stay around here for a while.

How are the mountains treating you?

 

I have about 15 miles on them so far and they are as expected. A tad more wandering and a bit louder. I find new tires tend to wander a bit more and then they settle down. I don't mind the extra road noise but it's less than I expected and definitely subjective.

 

What happens when you have an issue with a part on your truck, and the company is super backed-up on parts and resources?



You buy from the competition Gotta love next day delivery! I can't wait for the shop to get these on tomorrow. Anything I might need to mention to the tech?

 

I have heard phenomenal things about the Yokohama m/ts and that their performance is unmatched. Which I can believe more and more people seem to be purchasing them

 

What did yuh I have before?

 

JBA. I had a torn boot and then my ball joint was going bad. Ordered a whole new kit from their website and it said 3-7 day for processing before shipping, but that was a full 12 days ago and hasn't shipped yet. I didn't want a wheel flying off while driving so just decided to upgrade instead.

I'm gonna sell my old set with a brand new set of ball joints and the classic boots if anyone is interested. I'll post up it soon as the kit comes in

 

Enjoy

Life is good bro. I got my life almost settle up there. As you can see from the classifieds, I am not wanting to pack it all up. Looking to build up another buggy soon. Was thinking about keeping my fj40 and stretching it. But it’s to clean for that I think.

 

You’re not kidding about the YardSale thread. Those are some fancy batteries!

I’d keep the 40 or you’ll probably regret selling it. I’d just buy an aluminum tub, fenders and a hood and find a scrap windshield frame. Then tube!

Had the chance to pick up a completely rust free FJ40 in high school for 5Gs. How the times have changed lol. It was the pictures one back when it was on 33’s and mostly stock. It was clean before an old buddy started prepping it for business, while fitting his kids. Such a sick setup. Not much FJ left though. LS in there. Can’t wait to see him get it done.

 

Damnn bro that sucks! I'll be interested on them UCA is the kit the upgraded version of the boot tho??

 

It's not...they haven't shipped yet tho so I can call and see if they'll swap out for me. If not you can request the new version at no cost and they'll ship it to you, just have to show em a pic of the broken old boot which I can send you.

 

Seems like I got a problem a fitment problem to be exact got to do a whole lot of cutting and relocating of the AT cooler

 

When you winch is bigger than your bumper!!!

 

Yessirrrrrr as soon as I saw they went down in price I snatched one but this thing is meaty

 

If you have to drain/move it anyway, get a bigger one. Hayden or similar

 

Never know when you might need to hide your truck and 24ft boat up a tree

 

Dont think it's going to be in the way much what's really bothering it to be truly center is the H side hose of the A/C DONT want to mess with that at all lol

 

@Pizzasteve5717 Im sure you already have a plan to gusset the bumper mount locations but in the event you dont i would highly encourage it. But Otherwise that bumper looks good with the winch combo
