UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

that would be awesome! would you mind if i mounted new tires on them?

also, you mentioned in your ad your km2s were cupping, did that cause any vibrations?

 

Mount away. I had a slight vibe around 40 mph that went away with the new Coopers so the cupping probably had something to do with it. KM2's are pretty hard to keep balanced too, so if I bought them again I would use some balancing beads.

 

MY km2s cupped as well. I had to rotate them like every 2,000 miles to keep them happy.

 

How many miles did you get out of them?

 

Any vibrations associated with the cupping? A local shop I took it to was blaming my vibes on the cupping.. I'm just trying to bite the bullet and buy new tires get stock Rims and take of my spacers, and see if the vibes are still there.

 

I got rid of them when they were about half worn. That was with about 15-20k.

 

I never got any vibes other than the take off shudder I have always had.

 

Looking for someone willing to weld CMC plates on a 2nd Gen for me. All prep will be complete... just need someone to zap the metal together. I'm located in SLC.

Would definitely throw $ your way for services.

 

Hey locals, I have some 1st gen Tacoma/3rd gen 4Runner ADD/ABS steering knuckles for sale. The wheel bearings, seals and upper ball joints are good.

Hey there im from oregon and will be taking a trip to utah in feb, do you guys salt the roads down there and if so what do you guys do prep your frames.

 

Looking to get my tires rotated and aligned, new to area. What are the better toyota mechanics around?

 

Much salt is used. I have not done anything to my frame but have plans to sand and paint it. A lot of folks use fluid film.

I have lifetime alignment/rotations from firestone for like 100 bucks. I recently used 4 wheel parts because of light racing UCA's and I was not happy with their service. Sorry I don't have better advice.

 

thanks for the advice.

 

Going to try Plowgian on 3300s. Guess I should have stated in previous post that I am in the SLC area.

 

Let me know how it goes. 4 wheel parts was 150 bucks and my truck still pulls to the right.

 

The dealer downtown (Mark Miller) actually has a great service center. I'm down in Sandy and drive past 2 other Toyota dealers to get service there.

The best alignment I've found is Russ's Alignment on about 2000 South Redwood. Also a drive for me but worth it.

 

Did they give you a print off of the alignment specs? I am from the south so I don't know what stuff cost out here, but alignments for my wife's 4runner and my tacoma have all been below 100 bucks.

 

I have used these guys the last 4 times and they kickASS!
