MARYLAND TACOMAS

I wish I was as good as Texoma, we swapped out mine Springs and all quick, well he did most of it lol used the lower control arm as the compressor.

 

plenty of time, but im on the Secret Santa list and have somewhat limited funds, so its more of what i can afford, but if anything ill have a bed cover for sure, a bed full of water or ice has gotten old real fast

 

Nice. I ordered 885's because I have a double cab but no bumper or anything. I don't see one anytime in the near future so if I end up getting one at some point I figure i'll re-evaluate my suspension then haha

 

Yea nothing wrong with that, I only had the SR5 Access Cab 4 Cly. But I LOVE those shocks, it's a HUGE improvement over the black stock ones, I'm can't speak for the bilistien yellow and blues that come on the other packages.... But the 5100s are amazing over my stock shocks.

 

Secret Santa list?

 

Cool, well i'll let you know about them vs the TRD bilstiens lol

lespulkid has the link, it appears its a yearly thing, i skipeed it last year as i was almost brand new to the site, decided to give it a try this year

 

Is it me or dose this set up look like the spacer is on the outside of the strut tower,its on a truck I found for sale 02 taco

 

It's hard to tell but that's what it looks like to me

 

Yeah thats what I thought,his ad says he has a toytec suspension and a 3/4 spacer dont know what good it does outside the tower thanks for input I'm just doing a little internet shopping seeing whats out there

 

Yeah it looks like he threw it on top of the tower not knowing what to do with it

 

I still haven't installed the LED strips I got from last years secret santa

 

it looks like he used it as a replacement top hat of some sort.... id run away from this one if hes done any more "mods" to it

should probably get to that

 

Well, don't know if I'm just overly grumpy at the moment, differential oil is that much of a pita, or both. But that was the most frustrating oil change ever.

Took me an hour for just the rear diff. My shoulder is killing me because the pump I bought sucks and doesn't pump a whole lot at once, I spilled oil everywhere in the garage (luckily there are already oil stains there from my mom's caravan), my glasses slid off my face and landed in a puddle of oil, my computer fell off of the box it was on somehow, and i overflowed one of the bottles when putting the old oil in. Then come to find out that when I did my engine oil over the weekend I didn't tighten the bolt enough apparently and there are three big stains on the driveway that my parents just paid a couple grand to have redone two months ago. Looks like i'll be checking that and topping off in the morning - don't have any extra at the house.

I need a beer, some NCAA 14, and to go to bed. lol

 

Im in the camp of diff oil sucks, period.... the area around my truck still smells like gear oil from where i spilled some and cleaned i up, and that was months ago.... not to mention that it took three showers before i stopped smelling like gear oil.....

 

The smell didn't bother me a whole ton, I expected it to be worse and more of a burnt smell. Although I'm around horrible smelling stuff at work all the time so smells don't bother me much in general haha

Also, Lava soap works wonders. Washed my hands twice with Lava soap and I don't smell it anymore except where it got on my shirt.

 

smell didn't bug me either, but the people around me weren't pleased

 

He's been busy lol

 

Synthetic gear oil smells like freedom to me son.
