North Carolina Tacomas?!

That one wont work Damn I don't want to buy one from king to use it once and let it collect dust but it looks like I'm gona have to. Screw it I already bought a RTT tonight whats 40 more bucks in debt. I'll have this shit done by the 19th and ready for URE wheeling and wedding fun one way or another.

 

Why won't it work lol ? Our collars are the same size in diameter. Edit mine doesn't have the little rounded off part it has like the end that yours does to slide into the hole

 

Damned spanner wrench think i found a universal that may do the trick if not i will just suck it up and order one

 

I'm pretty sure this one will work lol

I could give it a shot at least, cant hurt. This week flew by I figured i'd have this handled by now

 

Haha I hear that well I'm in Greenville I'll be going to Jacksonville tomorrow for a bit but I'll be around. 252.619.8263 is my cell

 

If anyone is looking for someone to do gear installs outside of the great Chase at ECGS in Raleigh (has done great work for me before) call Scott over at MetalWerx in Hickory NC. Had him do front and rear gears for me recently. They mainly work on big ass tube buggies and hardcore off roaders and Scott is active in the off road jeep community. A good dude, can fab up nearly anything and also knows differentials. Don't expect one day turnaround though unless just a rear is getting done. I was lucky enough to have access to a 2nd vehicle and dropped the truck off with him for a week. Need to call him up and get in line depending on work flow. The shop is land locked out of the way on an off beaten dead end road. Scott did well by me. Metalwerx Offroad Design

 

SOS question... getting my 50in light bar hooked up, it ran for like 1 minute or so and then burnt out the fuse... the fuse was only a 15, should i just put a bigger fuse in it or have I done something wrong????

 

I would examine the wiring, especially where you enter the cab. Weak fuses are rare now, sounds like you had a short. A bigger fuse will just burn up the wire or relay. How much current is your light rated for?

SOS Hmmm. @Eddyrtt

 

Might only have a wattage rating, which can be converted to amps (redundancy check: fuses are rated in amps).
amps = watts / volts

 

too much math.... finished up the wiring and cleaned it up, put a 30 in it and ran it all night long!

 

Anyone know of any good welders around Charlotte? Someone that would do custom work, welding alignment tabs, Total Chaos gussets, etc... that takes pride in their work and you would trust with your truck? Also looking for someone that understands alignment with custom suspensions. I'm going to be installing an Icon Stage 4 soon, but want to have the alignment double checked.

 

MARS FAB near Charlotte does awesome work, he was or is building a LT 2nd gen.

For alignments, there is a shop near Mooresville I have been recommended to, but I can't remember the name of it if I find out I'll let you know

 

I did mine at Precision Auto in Mooresville, they have a special for 39.95 and got it right the first time - drives great ever since

 

Thanks. Any places closer to Charlotte for the alignment? Don't want to drive too far if my alignment isn't spot on after my upgrade.

 

I have used Mcarthy tire on Graham Street with good luck. They don't take appointments though.

 

my GF lives right next to Harris teeter over there, but I never though about taking it there

you would be fine for a tank or two until you can get it done

 

How many of y'all are from the Lake Norman area?
