could try and wait for the annual sales weekend, I got my TRD exhaust for under $300 I think maybe 2 years ago.

Tried to go for those Anthracite FJ rims but they sold out super fast.

 

So did everyone get their stuff from Truckfest?? Im ready for a mod day Friday, saturday, or sunday.

Just got my Camburg UCA's in and my add-a-leafs for the rear. Also gotta do my satoshi grill mod. Anyone else got work they gotta do?

I got plenty tools, Air compressor, etc. Who's down for a meet and wrench haha

 

Even when I went to buy my 11 the sales guy did not know what was a TX Pro package was. lol

 

I might have some time Sunday afternoon to help out, I'm pretty much out of stuff to do for now hehe..

 

Were you at 4wheelparts today? I think i just saw your truck.

 

yeah i went to pick up my UCA's.... and to ask about my coilovers

found out that my coilovers are from 2 different sets. now 4wheel parts is ordering a new coilover and i might have to pay to get it installed.... kinda bummed/pissed.

looks like u were right Nate


but im still on to do my mods this weekend....

sounds good man ill keep that in mind. Who ever else has a day they are most free to mod their trucks a lil ill be free this weekend

 

I wouldn't sweat it. Your truck is nice and the bronze rims is unique.You'll be the only lifted taco with bronze rims that i know of.

 

If you can put in your new UCAs yourself, then you can definitely change out a coil over yourself

I can't do Sunday, no plans that I can remember tomorrow. Saturday I'm back in the garden till about 1 or so, but don't work your mod day around me, I don't have any parts to put on my truck. I'll just be there to lend a hand

 

Yeah thats what im hoping (c/o wise) but as soon as the guy asked if i had a spring compressor thats when i was kinda worried. Im pretty sure they are gunna give me another C/o without the spacer on the bottom. But we will see. i noticed that every time my right tire goes over a bump i can hear it grind against the strut bar link nut. U saw where it was grinding a lil. but we will see.

I might just ask the guy to crank it to the max and then ill do the same to the other c/o with my spanner wrench. and install the C/o myself (or with the help of u guys of course haha no way i'd do that without any supervision ) Didn't u do that before nate??? any suggestions, i heard it sucks big ol nutz.....

Oh and if ur down i sure could use a hand with that lazer etching mapping deal i downloaded coral draw. havent tried it. I do have one plain piece of plexi on my intake now and it looks AWESOME already i cant wait to get that TRD logo on it

 

Most logos online have some distortion when u make it bigger but if u have something ready the size u want I can cut it

 

How much did the UCAS cost at truck fest? And the coil overs

 

Well, if they give you a whole new coil-over then its easy to instal, if they just give you the shock body, then you will have to compress the spring, and that gets tricky. I have compressed a few springs before, and installed a number of coil-overs, just takes a little time. But if you have heavy springs, I don't know if you want to do it..

And adjusting with the spanner is not too bad, but I would definitely take the coil-over out of the truck first. Just my $0.02

I only bought the CO2 tank, and some new Rigid LED's form Truck Fest. Wailua bought the UCA's there.

 

the UCA's were i think $560 or less brand new normally like $699... and the Coil overs were 1000 i think more than the kit i bought before, but that was over 6 months ago and $2500 (got the es9000 6 inch procomp lift kit, then wanted the coilovers so payed the extra grand and got the MX 6 lift). The reason for the C/o mix up was because my truck was on kauai - kit was installed on kauai, shipped here, met Nate (xmods) and then was informed of its differences... then i went and complained to 4wheelparts today

i think it will be a whole new coilover... but ill just have to wait and see. never even seen it done before so i may need ur supervision on the day i decide to do that. ill probably wait till i get that coilover and then ill go on a head and just change the uca's this weekend and wait on the coilover cranking later.

 

My bad clicked the wrong post. I was looking at the co2 tank you got at truck fest if I had more cash to blow that day I would have got it that day along with a lot of other stuff Was thinking its a good thing to have at home or on the go

 

damn under 300$. I wonder when are they gonna have it again. last time I got one of those post card that Servco send out regarding that sale, but never had a chance to check em out.

 

Kinda thinking I should have gone to this...haha

 

No worries. The CO2 tank has worked great! Used it twice already. Now I want the bracket to hold it in my bed.

 

you can install it onto the truck without a spring compressor...I had to use that method to compress my 886's via using the LCA with a floorjack as the compressor..took about 5min and everything lined up perfectly...since I broke my other big compressor lol

 

thats good to hear.... im gunna be lookin forward to this weekend's project

 

Sup guys
Just curbed my tires today on my 2013 sr5. The stock rear right tire sidewall chipped. I know I'm a dumbass. Haha. Its still driveable I guess not too big of a chip. Anyways anyone know how much it would be to switch the full size spare with the curbed tire from servco? Or is it under warranty? Thanks! Finally pushed me to buy new wheels and tires. Cant wait. But this should do for now.
