Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

@Shellshock

 

Ive done a few people in the KC area with either OVT or yotawerx. I’m in northeast iowa.

You can also get a remote tuning kit and DIY which makes it easy if you ever want to switch tunes down the road.

Hey guys

moving to Kansas City soon and need some help.

already purchased a relentless hybrid summit front and high clearance rear bumper with tire swing out.

now that I'm moving I have to find a shop in KC that can handle this install (which ofcourse includes cutting/removing factory bumpers) and tell relentless where to ship it to.

I see ALOT of shops there with good google ratings but they have pictures that include 99% lifting chevys.

gotta get this right on the first try

advice??

thanks

 

Psssht..... Shops.

Hit up the mofos in here, bring pizza and beer, make a Saturday of it. Lot of builds in here are done sans-shop, and with great results.

 

cygnus has a valid point... nobody in here really uses shops they normally help each other out or ask for help. buy pizza/beer/sodas and you can get a bunch of guys if they are free help you setup your truck.


i say they because ive always done stuff my self or with a buddy of mine haha

 

Stubbornly so

 

haha i just dont bug others tbh especially when i know how to do it. i have had to ask for help a lot more now thou since the accident last year since my left side do be a bit messed up still...

 

I've done everything on mine that's in my wheelhouse. Easy stuff likes lights, Peragon bedcover, kb voodoo bed rack, ditch lights, solar panel etc.....

chopping the bumpers off and putting new ones on, way outside of my expertise and tool set.

would definitely take help from someone who's been there and done it.

other complication is it has to be delivered to somewhere with a forklift

 

i forget that 3rd gens you have to cut the front off for a winch bumper. the rear bumper ive cut my bedsides before on my old tacoma wasnt hard tbh

my front bumper i picked up at the place that the company shipped it to. my rear bumper it was suppose to be dropped off at my house but fedex legit lost it.... so i had to play hunt the bumper with them for a few weeks until it finally showed up and i just went to the fedex hub to pick it up with my dads truck

 

Usually two guys can replace a forklift. Or Ltl ship it to a freight center and they'll fork it into your truck (whatever you beg/borrow/steal to show up in)

Edit: too bad you're not nearer to STL, we've got some experts and have bumper installs down to a science

 

Where in KC are you gonna be? I'm out in Blue Springs and can lend a hand. Plus I have a new air saw to try out.

 

gonna be in Overland Park

 

Fancy. I have friends there (who aren't Taco nuts)

 

Let's say I have some experience installing Relentless armor.
But my scheduling is a disaster.

 

A buddy and me lifted mine onto my truck. No need for a fork. 3 guys would make lifting easier.

 

not to far away from everyone and like slashaar said no need for a forklift 2-3 people can lift bumpers

 

Nice looking truck. Is one of those deal where they only ship to a business address? Some have option of residential but with an added cost.

 

That Xtracab tho. Too bad it's only offered as a prerunner.

 

Gona be siiicckkk
