GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Yes Sir! I ran it hose up to and behind the drivers side tail light. Based on those pics and being the front diff. I might pull my front plug just to have a peek and piece of mind too.

 

Hit up Cory (I forget his tw) his ig is @torxfabrication or Greer Automotive

 

@marinemonkey

 

It was Cory aka @marinemonkey. Who hit you up? I'm pretty sure Cory is swamped rn with a bunch of work from other people, but I'd hit him up and see if he can get you in one day

Greer is a great option too if you wanna have the peace of mind of taking it to a shop, but they do end up sending a lot of the tacoma work over to Cory anyway lol

This is the guyyy ^^^^

 

A guy I sold some shocks to. Liked the way mine looked, but he lives near the airport and I don’t have time to install them for him. I’ll pass on the recommendation to him.

 

Is anyone here gonna be at Caffeine and Octane this Sunday? Thinking about making it out there, haven't been since covid hit

 

Buddy bought a new pro... Man they are nice/expensive..... Hunting club is up to 1/3 of members w/tacos... Might have to make it a prerequisite soon.

 

You know I approve!

Thanks again to all that have made their way from all over the place, to come buy my gear. This has really helped us out...I have been trying my best to save the loot and not buy anymore toys... however a new to me/used kayak made its way home this am.

 

255x80x17 on real 4Runner Pro wheels. Had to cut some plastic front and back of wheel well and heat-gun/2x4 flatten the random protruding shapes of the fender liner. Have alignment with +2.4 caster, stock control arms and 1.5” “lift”. I’ve flexed in every tire orientation possible. No rub. No CMC.

You can zoom in and see the aft fender trimming I did.

Terrible gas mileage with 33” E rated tires is a given

 

You bastard! Driving around with your SxS hooked up...looking like some fun to be had!
Was seating on a 4 seater next go around, mainly for a longer wheel base and a place for the dog!

 

Rocky has a custom platform, Vetnets and a dog seatbelt mounted in the back. Loves going for rides!

 

Sweet little setup. Not mine.

Question!

Are all bed stiffeners the same? Is there any advantage of getting them from a specific company over another?

 

Yes and no.

Some offer features like a bottle opener built/cut in. Some are different heights. Some are narrower than others (allowing use of bed slides, decked systems, etc.). I'm sure quality of steel comes into play as well.

If you don't have a ton of weight, like a rack and RTT on constantly, I don't see the need.

There is a guy on the forum who I found out about through the Black Friday thread last year who seems to have a good product and offers a half height option. Both of his offerings were very reasonably priced compared to others. I would recommend him, but can't remember his username. At the end of the day, I'd probably get whichever ones were cheapest, as I don't think any of the factors really matter that much...unless you have a decked or bedslide situation going on.

 

Some good info in here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/best-choices-for-bed-stiffeners.562531/

I'd go with TC based on the first 2 pages of that thread. Also, please don't give CaliRaised any business. They products are cheap quality and they rip off other people's designs.

 

Gonna install my RTT this week so thought I should grab some now. When I was installing the bars, one of them fit pretty easily, but he other one took a good bit of force to get on, I'm guessing cause my bed was already starting to warp. I'm gonna read through the thread and order one asap. Never knew that about caliraised, but makes sense from some reviews I've read.

 

That is all I needed to hear!

 

For y'all looking at bed stiffeners, I would highly recommend @ragofabrication for that sort of thing. I got my ditch light brackets from them.

Melissa was very responsive when I reached out and had questions. They are a veteran owned shop in a small town in Texas. Definitely a small business I would consider again.
