San Angelo TW Chapter

Just found this group...definitely won’t know anyone with a tacoma, but I’m moving to Odessa, beginning of January..hope to meet some enthusiast’s. How far from Odessa is the nearest trail or off road park?

 

Anyone else enjoying their New Years ice?

 

Not I.. Just got back from CO and was hoping for some warmer weather.. I guess the cold and ice will have to do..

 

Does anyone have a roll/sport bar on there 2nd taco.

 

exterior or interior?

 

Exterior, for the bed

 

@jadesparrow WORK HARDER!

 

I was in Angelo this weekend a the Discount tire on Sherwood. There was a nice silver taco there that appeared to belong to an employee. Is that any of you guys?

 

only "nice" Silver taco I know of in town is mine and all other silver tacos...... Im no help to anyone.

 

Wasnt yours. I see you have duratracs and that truck was sporting BFG KO2s. Also it was a 12-15.

 

I know I can ask a different thread but I like y'all. What UCA's are everyone here running? I'm thinking of hitting up Light Racing.

 

Im running total chaos uniball ucas. I love em

 

Have you had to rebuild them yet?

 

No sir not yet, but theyre silent as long as you keep the poly bushings greased up. Ive got about 7500 miles on them thus far and i drive on dirt roads everyday. If you dont need a uniball for extended travel coilovers (for extra droop) then a good ball joint uca is probably hard to beat as far as longevity is concerned

 

I have a 6in lift and am trying to keep it as long as possible. bought it with the lift.... a cheap spacer rough country.... and im trying to upgrade the suspention parts to get longevity and performance. Ive notice (dont ask me why) but the lift on my prerunner helps get me though situations the 4x4 in 2wd cant handle.

 

Yeah if youre looking for longevity a sealed ball joint is going to be hard to beat. You can also get coilovers custom made for a 6 inch lift if youre looking to keep the drop bracket and just get some better performance. Or if it isnt a drop bracket style lift, you can get some maxtrac spindles for the prerunner and then get oem level height coilovers and just crank them up a couple inches. (With spindles you get 4inches of height and then you can get some coilovers to combine with them to lift it some more, all while keeping the stock upper control arms)

 

Ive been looking where could one purchase these custom length coilovers you speak of.

 

Im not sure what brand you want to go with, but i know king makes them for a 6 inch lift and i think fox does at well. You might try talking to someone at Downsouth motorsports. I bought my kings from them and have been very pleased

 

Group Question. Is anyone other than @jadesparrow and I up for a meet this Saturday 20/01/18 for a tacos and coffee?
