Tampa Bay Area Tacomas BS Thread

Thanks for that hoping for something a little close to West Tampa. I will definitely keep Timbos in mind if I can't find anything.

 

If it wasn't verbotten due to the coronavirus BS, we'd have a mod day and get it knocked out for ya for the cost of lunch. Still, 5100s and AALs are well within the DIY range unless you just don't have a place to do it.

 

Yeah space is somewhat an issue. More so time now that I am working and a school teacher. Time is hard to come by. Thanks for the offer if we weren't in this mess.

 

If you get the 5100s with eibach springs assembled from ToyTec it'll cost ya a hundred extra for them to come assembled, but it's nowhere near what a 4WD shop will charge you to install them, you can get the front done in maybe 3 hours if you take your time. Installing the AALs should be about the same and you don't have to do it on the same or even consecutive days. IMHO, I'd rather ride around with one end of the truck higher than the other until I got the time to do the other end than pay a 4WD shop a stupid amount of money for a simple job. But then again, if I had more money than I knew what to do with then I'd probably consider it, haha.

Tell ya what, bring it over here to me in North Tampa, and I'll install it for ya for $400. I could use the money. If you're interested, PM me and we'll set up a day and time.

 

Not lying... we did that and was happier in learning the process.

 

Anyone have experience with the Toy House Inc Auto shop off the 301? I need an alignment + a road force balance. This place seems like it has good reviews online.

 

@Rattletrap66 has had some work done there and was pleased as far as I know. My cousin works there, and says they are legit (compared to the dealership he was at before lol).

 

Good to know, thank you for the reply

 

I had a good experience from taking my truck there. They figured out my knocking wasn't really knocking and that the flex plate was simply cracked.

 

I drive by there everyday, always wondered about them. Good to know. They have some cool looking trucks parked outside.

 

Would anyone be able to lend a hand in wiring my lightbar? I have a “new to me” 21 or 22” light bar that I have mounted on my BAMF lightbar mount, but I am completely at a loss when it comes to anything electrical or wiring oriented. I have the wiring harness and a switch, but not the how to on how to do this. Can pay you in a pack of beers or a Bottle Logic barrel aged beer too if you’re into that.

I ended up going to ToyHouse last month and they really took their time and did it right. I will be back for sure!

 

Been using Toy House for 14 years. Won't go anywhere else.

 

Good to know. When I went there I was more than impressed and I will definitely be back if and when I need to!

Also welcome to TW

 

What are 1K boxes of small rifle primers going for locally? A nice young lad just bought my Hornady LnL AP and I also sold him 1K Winchester small pistol primers for $30. He was looking for rifle primers but I don't want to give them away, just a fair price.

 

Thats about what I paid couple weeks ago at a show. Right after the show the vendor wanted 10.00 per 100

 

Hey guys I've lurked and posted a few times here over the years, but I'm finally gettin into a 4wd Tacoma. Where is the best forum page to put a WTB up? Is it regionally or in the classifieds? I know some web forums go nuts for posting in the wrong areas or if you don't have enough activity won't allow to interact with buy/sell. Hope everyone is out enjoying a nice Labor Day Weekend.

 

This is funny b/c I drive past that place on the way to hunt and have wondered if he was any good. As I'm Taco shopping this is great b/c when I break something I won't be 5 miles away!

 

You could post it in here or Florida BS page or the FL for sale page. I dont think anyone will give you heat. What exactly are you looking for?

 

Well here is my rough sketch and where I could use some help from the experienced crowd. I need no help being sold on Toyota I've put close to 600k on 2 4Runners and love em. I do know I want a short bed pick up I don't do a ton of hauling, but on occasion a small light boat. 5 ft bed enough to put a few hundred lbs. of corn and a couple of lock on stands all easily fits in the 5ft.(plus will still fit in garage). My for sures list: 4wd double cab, used, no wrecks/salvage titles kind of thing. I think would like to have a bit of lift as well, but can do that after the fact if need be. I'm open to a lot of ideas here so feel free to shoot. I'm on a cattle ranch and it's a total swamp half the year at present 2wd can't even get past any of the gates have to get rides into camp with someone else.

 

If you dont mind me asking what are you willing to spend?Will this be more of farm truck with the occasional haul for a hunt or a daily.If your looking for something newer @Scooter WCT prob be able to assist.
