NJ B.S. Thread

Anyone have a bed box theyre looking to get rid of? Looking for one for my truck. Prefer black but I can’t be picky i guess

 

Still have my UWS low profile one you could have for $100. Not sure how we'd tackle the logistics from NE NC though.

 

tw express maybe… ill see if I can organize it. Was looking to get one before october

 

It’s possible they will fit, but I emailed decked to make sure. I have an OEM bed mat on top of the drawers so nothing gets scratched up

I’ll DM you when decked gets back to me about the fitment

 

went online looks like it fits but those things are damn expensive. I probably can’t offer you what you want for em.

 

New member here, just got my first Tacoma. Traded in my old Silverado for it.... looking to get some work done to my Tacoma (new suspension) but have had trouble finding places. I'm willing to drive a while if needed, but if anyone knows of any good shops around Monmouth county, that'd be fantastic.

 

ive got a shop in english town NJ and can install it whenever you want. What are you looking to get done?

 

I think I'm gonna go with Bilstein 6112 in the front and Bilstein 5160 in the rear. Still trying to figure out what to do about the leafs. Not sure if I should do a AAL or just buy a new pack all together.

 

Leafs can depend on your plans. What you looking to do with the truck? More stout look? Take offroad? Carry/tow heavy loads?

 

Mostly going for more lift and improved ride quality. I'll occasionally load the bed or do a little bit of towing, but its not my main concern. Offroading is going to be limited to dirt trails... nothing crazy. I was going back and forth over an AAL or a totally new pack cause I've heard some horror stories about some of the popular AAL kits making the ride quality worse then stock and (apparently) the OEM leaf springs are not that good anyway... not sure how true that is

 

Check the old man emu nitrocharger shocks. My truck is heavy so I have the HD leaf pack but 885's and the MD leafs sound like it'll be good for you. I wasn't impressed w/ the Bilstein setup. Ride quality on and off road has been night and day with the OME stuff. If you keep the leaf pack clean they won't make noise like you may read. They just need a good pressure washing after you are in dirt or sand.

 

Forgot to mention budget is important. Lift and ride quality could be big bucks. Depends on your expectations. Like everything you get what you pay for.. If ride quality is key I would save up and get some bigger brand names like Icon and Kings. Imo getting a whole new leaf pack would be considered just for heavier weight capacity. AAL should be fine and will still ride like a truck. Spend the money on your shocks.

 

I'd probably be willing to do install stuff for a fair price too. I'm not a mechanic so i'd just be doing it in my driveway on a weekend probably but that's easy work

 

Pro tip. Don’t punch bandsaw blades while they’re running

 

Man I miss mod days where we had time to just help random strangers install their lifts.

 

I’m well aware

 

Why were you trying to kung-fu chop a moving blade? YOU AIN"T NO NINJA FOO!

I'm curious though, where is the laceration at?

 

Anyone here (or know someone) selling a reliable beater? Bro in law had his suv totaled and now needs something for like 4K to get around for a while.

 

One dumb move is all it takes…
Was trying to radius cut a 1.5” square and it was binding at the end of the cut..
So I pushed harder, the cut went threw, and my hand still in push motion went into the blade. Lesson officially learned, don’t force the cut. Working tired with some beers wasn’t thinking clearly.

 

Don’t you know that a band saw will always win in a fist fight?
