What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Honestly this seems like a better route to go since this current mag light has been seriously disappointing. Get a bunch of cheapos that are more reliable.

 

The one I bought is made by Police Security and it's called The Covert.

Tiny, fits in my center console easily and like I said... reliable. Only takes one AA battery.

 

Damn, what a waste... Stupid mag light lol. Oh well..

I need some input on this noise from my rear passenger wheel. When I was installing my u bolt flip I noticed it. This is basically me shaking the truck by holding the leaf, it was only happening on the passenger side not the driver. Seemed like it was coming from around/inside the drum

I would say corrosion was your culprit. Make sure all the cable ends are clean and free of rust, and have your ring terminals properly connected to the cables. You should be fine. If it continues to rust, it may be time for a cable set....

So that noise is coming from your drum? By you rocking side to side on the leaf there, you are creating lateral force on the wheel and drum. Since the brakes are connected to the axle, what you MIGHT be hearing is the drum shifting against the brake shoes, or moving the shoes enough to cause them to shift. I would recommend auto-adjusting your rear brakes by doing multiple hard stops in reverse. (almost to the point of locking up the brakes) and then retest your leaf spring wiggle.

 

Fenix TK-35 FTMFW!!!

 

Sounds good thanks man, will report back later with what happened. Going to have to find an empty parking lot or something lol..

 

I got one of these too. I had to work security and my light took a dump. quick stop at VatoZone and bought one of these. Works great and its bright as f**k. A lot smaller than a Maglite too

 

I have a Fenix and also a NiteCore LED flashlight. They are only like 1" diameter and 6" long but they put most of the mag lites to shame and run for 1.5 hours at 1000 lumens.

Edit: mag lites still have a place tho. My buddy drives for UPS and they aren't allowed to carry anything like a weapon so I got him a 6D battery mag lite for a dog beater.

 

But with a mag light you can swing it at some one and it'll still work

 

Lol It might flash on and off a little though.. I can't even tap mine or shake it much without the light cutting out a bit.

 

that's what my Glock 23 is for

 

Must run out of ammo alot lol

 

Love my fenix flashlights. I have two. Bright and durable. The only thing is they need the cr123a batteries, but I just keep a stash around now.

 

I have two stinger flash lights with a car charger where most people Mount the mag lights and never have had a problem even after 10 years

 

I have a Vipertech flashlight that is also a 38 million volt stun gun

 

38 million?? My diablo flashlight has 320 lumen with only 5 million volts

 

Are you tazing grizzlies?

 

If anyone has a factory shift knob the want to sell let me know tried to get one from my dealership but with my discount it was still $52 and that sounds kinda high

 

seriously
