Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Yeah I think when we (dick York’s) moved out they put an alignment machine in.

 

gotcha. sounds like im gonna have to go to boise to a CMC and have my alignment setup. doesnt really seem like anyone in the valley wants to work on my truck

 

Hillside down on gannet might, but they don’t actually do their own alignments.

 

Anyone go to the meet up at Edmark? No clue it was happening... bummed I missed it.

 

Sounds like I need to start doing mobile alignments around Idaho. If you have a flat surface to park on they are not difficult to do yourself. An adjustable UCA makes them even easier to do.

 

There's several mobile services I have needed in the past and will probably need in the future... I'm not as talented at working on trucks as I wish I was.

 

We all started somewhere. There is usually plenty of info out there online on whatever you are trying to accomplish. I've seen a few diy alignment videos that do an OK job at explaining it. I'm hoping to make one come fall that should be pretty easy to follow.

 

I only try to do what I'm comfortable with, some things I wouldn't even try and I don't have many tools. Just very little basics. I always end up paying mechanics a bunch of money instead... I've YouTubed several things like repairs and maintenance and some mods, also asked tw people for online help as well but very basic stuff usually. No way I'd do any alignment stuff lol

 

I was just down there this morning and pretty sure I saw the same truck...

 

I was picking up my stuff at the dry cleaners near Cherry and Linder and this guy says:
Him: Excuse me, is that your taco outside?
Me: Yessir.
Him: What year is it?
Me: 19'
Him: So did you get that "Tune"?
Me: haha... Yes, the OV tune? 2.0 Yes, I did. I really like it, for $250 and a short drive, I think it was worth it.
Him: So wait... I looked on their website and it says you have to buy it for like $800 or something....
Me: Oh nah man, I met a fella about 45 min from here and he tuned it up in a couple hours and I was done.
Him: Oh, that sounds like it could be scary meeting some guy in a back alley
Me: Uhh..No, I met him at a trailer park residence, but it was fine.
Him: How did you find him?
Me: Tacomworld.com you should check it out.

Quite the exchange at 730 this morning.

 

Haha trailer park residence.

 

I know right... when I was mapping it, I was like... uhhhhhh. Am I about to get murdered?

 

@4xThad whats your rig? I’m guessing you’re in the wood river valley. Here’s mine.

 

Nice ass!

 

Been working on it

 

I need to do some squats...but Ill get there.

 

I went for Botox with the fab four bumper. Although I’m thinking of switching…

 

Really? Do tell... would like to know what you do and dont like


I went to my mechanics shop the other day and a fellow taco owner and I were chatting it up about my rig... (starting to chirp in the pulley system)

Not a promotion here, because I dont know the guys... but there is a shop in Greenleaf that does custom bumpers... thinking of giving them a shot...

Amp'd Up Bumpers I think is what they're called....

 

jussa stock cement DCLB 3rd gen (for now) with an iKamper, and a martin RR

 

Anyone have recommendations for a good place to get the tint done on my new rig? Treasure valley area. I think I need some limo tint lol
