North Carolina Tacomas?!

Hello from West Virginia I'm heading down to OBX in about 3 weeks anybody on here from around that area up maybe for a meet or something.

 

I would be down for that, I live in VA about 1- 1.5 hours from OBX. If there was a group that'd be awesome!

 

A few tacomaworlders @ Uwharrie this weekend

 

Wilmington NC black 4x4 4 door stock. Thinking of buying the weld your own from north west any ideas

 

SOS offroad concepts is just down the road in SC if you're looking for a more local vendor.

 

Cool will check them out thanks

 

Rock Hill SC... Close enough lol

 

I drive 5 hours each way from NC to the SOS shop and consider that right down the road considering most of the other vendors are west coast

 

I hear ya. I'm only 20 min south of Charlotte

 

I work out of Cleveland NC but live on coast will have to check them on way home from a run

 

Wonder if they have weld your self bumpers?

 

Work at F/L ?

 

They do.

Anybody have any experience using the headstrong offroad lift kits from http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p227/Coil/Bilstein_5100_Kit_(HS05BK-1).html Im thinking about lifting my truck but I am still doing my research! Also, where is a good place to get the lift installed? I'm in college and don't have access to the tools necessary to lift, so I was going to pay someone to do it for me, as long as I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for the labor cost!

 

I have used headstrong for all my suspension stuff but one, and the one time i didnt is because they referred me to another vendor who specialized in that item. Marie is good to work with over there at Headstrong and Roger knows his stuff in the technical department. Call em up or email them tell them what you want, they do sales, price match if you find it cheaper somewhere else. I have 0 complaints about them, nothing but praise. As for the install, where you at?? There are lots of guys on this forum and others who don't mind slapping the jack stands under your ride and getting their hands dirty. Set it up, feed em, even beer em afterwards... hell i'd show up for that myself

 

Im near the charlotte area! I would preferable like to go to a shop because if they mess up it's their mistake on their dollar! I would love to have one of my fellow tacoma world buddies do it, but don't wanna risk hurting my baby

 

Its your truck and your dime i'm sure 4wheel parts @ 4004 South Blvd Charlotte, NC 28209 would love as much of your money as you are willing to part with

 

Yea a lot of it too verses a good amount of us are really good with the suspension and other aspects of our rigs.

 

Aside from the money, i must be honest i learned more about my truck when i had that fucker in pieces in the middle of the "Back woods chop shop" then i care to admit. You've got to start somewhere, i went from not being able to get that @#$%#$$ UCA bolt out to getting ready to weld on my own 63 swap in the span of 2 years. @wgreear Consider the first option there are some guys on here who would likely be doing the work for you over at 4wheel parts or some other mechanics place if they weren't doing it just to bring another tacoma guy into the fold or just turn wrenches for fun and stress relief like me lol.

 

Yeah I understand! I probably just need to a lot more research than i have. I really would like to learn, but time is the main component. between 2 jobs, classes, and working on getting into PT school its hard to find time to dedicate to myself! Also @mrbedgood just check out your build...holy sexy!
