Me Likey^^^

 

I haven't had time to cycle the suspension yet. I know I'll get some rubbing just from looking at it real quick. I only had one tire that came in so I threw it on to make sure it didn't rub on the upper control arm (that was my main worry). Anything else that it rubs on won't be a problem. I'll be cutting a replating a lot. It doesn't rub at ride height (full lock as well) which is a good start

Did you have to cut or pound any of the fender apron or did you set your bumps to bottom out before they hit the apron?

 

Hey guys! I got my new wheels and tires today finally! I'll hopefully get some pics tomorrow if I got time.

18x9 Raceline Raptors Matte Black wrapped in 275/70/18 Hankook Dynapro ATm

Love them!

 

got my radio installed. love it now that i can plug my phone in. this is the first time i have ever had an aftermarket stereo. i feel overwhelmed by the amount of options there are

any of you know what good setting are for the equalizer stuff

 

serious chubby

 

Turn the bass all the way up, treble all the way down. Crank it up.

 

Fender apron? Like the thing the fuse box sits on? I cut all of my inner fenders out for an engine cage so I don't have to worry about that.

 

best place to get an oil change in portland?

 

Your driveway.

 

your mom gives oil changes! psh. i wish i was able to use my driveway, but im limited, dont have proper tools in this little apartment.

 

When you guys plannin another wheelin trip? Norcal guys are being lazy and our general planner and guide is selling his truck so he doesn't wanna go. I go out of town in March, but any other time is open at the moment if you wanna do something in Feb.

 

im in the same boat as you. just moved into an apartment so now i dont really have a place to work on my car. today is nice and sunny though so im gonna put a jacket on and do my first outside oil change

 

really? lol right now i have it on the sony EDGE preset. idk there are so many options to change that i have no idea what they do.

the best thing about it is that the deck can change colors, so really my biggest problem is trying to pick a color while keeping my eyes on the road

 

What are you talking about?

I change my oil in the detached garage at my condo. Not perfect but its better than getting yelled at for doing it under the parking covers.

 

Yep, that's the apron. I'll have to cut part of mine out and replate it. I didn't know you had an engine cage, that's pretty sweet. I'll have to take a look at your truck one of these days.

It's official, my tires are lost in space.

 

That sucks about the tires. I have a bumper to bumper cage, just makes you feel better when doing what we do.



I need to work on the dash one of these days...

 

What is the lever for on the drivers door diagonial bar?

 

Ejection seat for the passenger. No, I got tired of the 4wd actuator failing me when I needed it the most so I converted it to a manual cable actuator and that's where I put the shifter. I got used to it being there, and kind of like being able to shift with both hands while steering with my knee.

 

Any one need some sliders? Jerry at BAMF is doing a fast GB!! 15% off if we get 10!!

 

Got it.

What is your DD? Your Tacoma is built like no other. What do you drive daily?
