MARYLAND TACOMAS

@2stroketrush happy birthday dude

 

bring dat white shit, imma gunna be readie

 

I thought MDs traffic court system was bad.... Lord help SC and theirs... I was stopped 12-13-15... My trial date if I DONT pay my ticket is 1-21-16... It is now 1-19-16... And I can still not pay my ticket. I have called them 5 different times to pay this damn thing. They still do not have it in their system.... I am not getting a warrant out on me for their incompetence

 

My friend just dropped off a set of 887 coils, so I'll have a spare set of 885 coils up for sale soon. MD thread gets first dips if anyone in here needs them.

 

Recommendations on a shop for a wheel bearing? MD state inspection is killing....
Guess that's what I get for going to a dealer.

 

I don't know what a wheel bearing would cost to replace but can purchase an entire wheel hub here that would make doing it yourself a snap.

How much?!

 

Has anybody ever used, or heard good things, bad things about a shop in Glen Burnie called
Mid Atlantic 4x4 & Speed?

Looking for shop to install my ICON Leaf Pack

 

Eff that place man, they're crazy pricey. I went in there once and left.

 

Where do you suggest? I see a lot of Appalachian offroad stickers out by me... But I tend to stick inside the TW marketplace and bribe members with beer to help with the installation lol

 

I talked to them and was quoted $165.00 to install my ICON Progressive Add-A-Leaf. I did not think 165 was a bad price for probably a couple hours of work, I just want a place with a good reputation and does good work. Any other suggestions for a decent place to go? Any one else have experience with Mid Atlantic 4x4 & Speed?

 

That is not a bad price. I talked to them a couple years ago when they first opened and they wanted $500 for a lift block and strut spacer. Sounds like they got more competitive

 

1. They don't know a lot about Tacomas. I bought my wheels from them, I mentioned them about back spacing and fitting issues, they said the wheels would fit ok, but wheels ended rubbing my calipers and they had to grind down a bit to make it clear. I was frustrated and had to drive to NC that evening and didn't claim refund/exchange or anything but was no happy with them.

2. They said 33" or 285/75/16 tires will fit 2.5" lift, which is not true.

They may be good at jeeps or other trucks, but Tacomas is not their thing

 

Thanks for the info Tonymontana, do you by chance have another shop with a good reputation

 

I do all my mechanical work unless I don't have the equipment/tool so I don't have much experience with shops around the area. Anyone can help us here? please @68dave where are you?

 

Any decent shop should be able to do a AAL

 

-this

^ that leads me to believe you "should" be ok, me, being a newb to Tacoma's, One would think that they could do add a leaf's, give middleton & meads a call-http://www.middletonmeads.com/, see whut they say--

 

Thanks 1buzzbait, I also found http://www.appalachianoffroad.com from previous post, but they are in Westminster, and from the eastern shore, that's a bit of a drive. I can probably do it but where I live is controlled by HOA. Have done other small things that are not so noticeable jobs, but taking wheels off might raise some concerns.

 

I'm about to put up a for sale thread soon and figured I'd post stuff here first. Mostly just stock takeoffs from my lift.

Trd Sport shocks front/back
Trd Sport stock coils.
4 Stock Dunlop At20, one tire has a plug.

^These all have 20k miles on them

Stock cloth floormats.
Also Have a set of LR UCA's that I got used, but never mounted on my truck. They have been sandblasted and repainted red.

 

I paid $130 (retail $170) for his set of 887s, so I'd like to get the same for my 885s in order to break even... however mine have a few extra miles so I could go $100 if you pick them up.
