Maxx Powell Youtube/Discussions/Meet Thread

By all means man dont even worry about thread jackin. This thread is for everybody.

So i ended up taking the truck to a shop because i have too much going on this month to diagnose it my self. They quoted me just over 4000 dollars! lol

 

Ouch! Well, if you end up doing the repairs yourself, I would be more than happy to lend a hand.

 

Thanks man. I ended up hust filing an insurance claim actually. So it will all get taken care of

 

That's good to hear.

 

Yeah im thinking about taking this opportunity to upgrade the steering rack to a tundra steering rack. Ive heard it makes 35 inch tires feel like theyre stock size

 

I bet that'll be nice.

 

Freaking Maxx Powell from the interwebs that's wicked awesome big fan of your taco... and your wife's wicked hott too. Good on yaa bud.

 

Yeah still debating if its worth it. Its an extra 400 bucks plus it takes a little bit of fab work

 

Hahah thanks man she is wicked hot lol

 

But the vlog content though...

 

Did they tell you what they thought was wrong with it...for 400$?

Also, Ive had zero issues regarding the steering rack with 35's, its been the cab mounts that gave the most issues, until I relocated them 3" back (I would say fenders but with glass, that wont be an issue at all for you either). I have not heard of swapping out the SR for 35s on these trucks. Def not to say it cant be done. If you pull the trigger on it, I'd be curious to see what differences it offers

 

@Skootter14 You have Instagram? I posted a pic of your truck and would like to tag you if possible.

 

haha i saw that on the TW homepage instagram thing! Good pic

I do not have IG...the only real social media I do is...TW haha. I appreciate the thought but nothing to tag

 

No worries

 

So i think since im doing an insurance claim the shop just priced out what it would cost to replace all the affected components (instead of actually figuring out whats wrong. So they want to do a new steering rack, new pump, new tire rod, new hub, new bearing assembly. I know if i were to do the work my self theres no way i would be replacing that much shit. My freind had the same thing happen and he just had to drain the hydrolic fluid and straighten the steering wheel because it skipped a few teeth. But hey im not opposed to all new parts .

 

no not at all! good for you, if insurance is taking care of it, replace it all if the shop is recommending that. That seems a lot easier than how I thought it would go haha

 

Thanks for this. I've been trying to hunt it down since I got back. Kept mispelling the name I've been driving around mirrorless and with 5% tint I have to roll down all the windows just to check my blind spot.

Jesus, sorry about that. If you decide to take the insurance payout and fix it yourself I'd be happy help. Least I can do since you were running around trying to find me when this happened. I'll bring beer.

 

Thanks man i appriciate that. The shop is saying the Steering rack needs to be replaced as a precaustionary measure which spumds like a load of crap so im gana have them do everything eles and im gana cash out on the other half and go from there

 

So, my family likes to go to Capitol Forest and pick up trash along the trails. Would there be any interest in a group event? Maybe partner it with some shooting or hiking?

 

Depends when but if I'm in town my toddler and I are definitely up for going.
