GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Hi all! I've been lurking on the forums for a while, but only recently posted because I have been having a problem. Just realized that there is GA forum that's active, and there are a lot of members in my area (Athens, GA). I know that there is at least one other SWB Taco in my area. Mainly here to just say hello, but if there is a meetup happening soon I would love to come hang out. Thanks!

Welcome! What side of town are you on? Ever make it out to Scull Shoals? Have any other go-to spots? We have several easy to get to spots within an hour of town. Nothing technical, but nice rides in the country. Mt. Chenocetah is another nearby spot for hikes and views.

 

Hey man. Yeah you are welcome to come wheel with me sometime. I was up on walkingstick road today.

 

What bumper is that ?

 

It's made by SSO

Thinking about ordering one of those. Was gonna go hidden hitch, but may go the slimline route.

 

I like mine. Works well on the runner.

 

Doesn’t change the way the truck rides/steers like some bumpers. It’s unnoticeable.

 

Is yours SSO? Couldn’t recall.

There’s a guy in Columbia that makes them for runners. He’s got a taco coming in to mock up. I’d like to give ‘local’ the nod, but sales pricing is tough to beat.

Yep, mine is SSO.

 

Yours is a 3rd gen right? They don't the high clearance sides for us 2nd gender but those are sweet on third gens. I like the version with the tubed wings.

 

SSO does some good work (atleast with everyhting i have seen in person from them).

 

Agree. I have the low profile bumper on my wife's 4runner and purchased the stage 2 kit (viper cut) after they released it ( i have been sitting that kit for probably 3+ years now and yet to cut and install). customer service was good with communication and install directions were good too.

 

Thank you sir

 

Another good option that is pretty affordable is the US Off Road bumper. I have this and I have no complaints. Pic is not my truck. There's tabs to mount a light bar in the middle area if you want. I liked this over the others b/c it has a very stock look to it. I think you would be happy with any of the slim line bumpers from all the makers b/c they are look similar and function the same either way.

 

I do believe I saw you in passing once again yesterday at 78 at East Park Place around lunch-ish Friday. Tried to give a honk to get your attention, but to no avail. Guess I now have a reason to upgrade my Hella horns to ones with a compressor LOL

 

Yup I was over there around then. Sorry I missed ya! Usually pretty good about spotting you too.

 

I'm gonna hit you up soon as I'm exploring rack options for the "new" topper and may wanna pick your brain or need a hand when it comes time to *shiver* drill holes. lol

 

Not sure how much help id be. My shell had the rails already it when I got it
