2006 Canadian Tacoma Build

Take a look at some pre-cleaners. Sy-klone (link below) has a video of them feeding snow into the intake. I just picked up a Topspin off ebay. There are some other guys on the board running these and some from other companies. They are kind of hard to source though, it takes some searching.

Donaldson or Wix Topspin

Just found a useful website, Transelectricinc.com

Looks like they have a lot of vehicle lights too, mostly for heavy equipment, but would work for expedition vehicles too at a non-mainstream price too.

Wanted to ask you how the King coils up front are working out now that you've had them on awhile?

Thanks

Hi David

sorry I haven't been around the forum much as life is getting pretty busy with my son and my 2 year old too.

I King Coils are working very well and have settle a little bit now. I have turn the pre-load down on the front 2 turns to drop it a bit more as It was a bit high for the CV boots.

I love them and I would highly recommend it if you or anybody has a bumper and winch on the front.

Thanks Richard,

I bet it's never a dull moment around your home. Must be really into winter now for sure.

I am really thinking about the King coils. I have the contacts you gave me and I need to give them a call.

What was your turn around time? I think you told me, but I can't remember of course.

Been busy here too. Catching up on the never ending projects.

yeah winter has got a good grip on us and it was -25c a few days ago!

My turn around time was in a day. Kevin at HRT Off-road is a good friend of mine and I just went down for the weekend and he did the re-build for me and at the time we through in the new coils.

Scublade

Hi guys!

Haven't been around the forum as of late as I have a new boy in my house and he's keeping me very busy!

I just wanted to tell you about (if you guys haven't tried ) is Scublade!

I got a set from Sierra expeditions ( Wil ) and I must say they seriously kick ***!

We have ice, snow, and sand on the roads here and these wipers take everything off in one swipe!!! I will be using these always on my truck. Their a good price too, about average for the wipers i usually put on my truck.

here's the link

Congratulations on the new addition to the family.

Thanks for the note on the wipers. I am unhappy with my Silblades, so I will be looking for a replacement.

I was disappointed with mine too, the winter ones were expensive so it really chapped my hide that they didn't last longer.

Did you get yours when they still had the 5 year warranty, or with the new 90 day joke.

Good to know. I have been eying them for weeks now, but did not want to try them site unseen.

But, quite honestly, I didn't want another set.

Hi,

I'm looking at coming to Colorado Springs and looking for a cheap place to stay or somebody on the forum whiling to on a boarder for few weeks, hotel or something of the sort. I'm coming from Edmonton Alberta to have a few things fabricated by Armorology. I will be there for about 3 weeks. I would be coming in the spring time.....around end of April or begging of May if I can swing it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Richard.
