Keystone State Thread

Deer are the worst! I hit one with my old truck and used the opportunity to do a front end swap and a cowl hood

 

maybe you can git it fixed under warranty

 

The deer impacts are not to bad it is the coworkers hitting my vehicles with the fork lift .

Just glad in one way No Elk or Moose or Free Range Livestock

 

Now that is an expensive deer hit.

 

Manual or automatic?

+300K is not too shabby...

 

I think you’ll be happy with them they are a good on/off road tire.

I’m not sure what they are possessing there, though.

 

@Tacocritter congrats on job!

I'd just get a new transmission installed instead of getting new truck. That's what my plan is.

 

Automatic

 

That’s what I’m doing, I’ve got too much blood, sweat, tears, deer and mileage invested. Plus I love this truck!

 

That would be the WARRANTY of WARRANTIES!!!

 

Did You have Problems before your new frame??

Had you been doing the normal transmission service ??

Something messed up during the frame swap just a thought

 

Ever since the truck was new, if I came to an abrupt stop it would lurch forward when I hit the gas. Other than that, no. My dealer, Team Toyota (formerly Carousel) has always had a good rep and treated me well. I think it’s simply mileage, nothing else.

 

I saw one in one of the threads a couple days ago. Maybe the 2nd gen marketplace. Good luck daniel

 

I’m pretty bummed. Brought my Tacoma to 4 Wheel Parts in Carlisle for an alignment. They told me I need new lower control arms and hardware because everything is seized up. Said they need to cut them out to replace them. Has anyone else replaced these? What brand is good? I have a feeling I’m looking at big $$$.

 

Get new LCA’s from rockauto. They come with the bushings installed. The cam bolts you’ll need to get from Toyota.
A sawzall with a carbide blade or two will cut them off - that’s really the most difficult part.
@LooseNut & I did it a long time ago to my truck

 

Got a new set of tires, finally. Went with General Grabber AT2...stock size 265/70-16. Look similar to BFG KO2 but much cheaper. First impressions are they ride much softer than the GY kevlar which surprised me with them being an “off road” tire. Definitely noisier than the GYs but not as noisy as KO2s.

 

I ran these same tires for about 3 yrs. Loved them.
