Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

Owner off Wilson offroad a cool dude. Met him a couple of times.
Never used his services.

 

Racing through the forest is where its at!

I don't think there is one near raleigh however my favorite burger place is hands down Bad Daddys

 

It's in Morrisville the 'bacon cheeseburger on steroids' is amazing!

 

Yup I get it on toast with extra bad daddys sauce
So hungry... closest one is at least 2 hours away...

In truck news, truck got new Pads and Rotors on the front along with a full Clay bar and Wax and shampoo detail... Its now pouring the rain and should wake up to snow

 

Also I went to change the air filter with just a cheap car quest stock filter... and I think my truck had a K&N filter, which you can just clean right? It was pretty dirty so I went ahead and put in the elcheapo but definitely going to check out trying to clean up the K&N

 

I live just outside of Chapel Hill in a subdivision named Briar Chapel. Moved in back in January. I have seen two other Tacomas with TacomaWorld decals on the windows. Would love to meet up with you guys! Hope you see this.

 

You have to wash it and re-oil it. I prefer good paper vs K&N my self.

 

K&N has a kit for cleaning them. You should see them on the shelf with the filters.

 

Hi, I'm down in Wilmington, if ever down hit me up

 

if I'm gonna get all my parts here in time to get them installed before I go see @ahspurlock. I may end up having to pull a mod-all-nighter I hate usps.

 

Im using verion 9.3 of techstream

 

Way to teach by example driving instructor lol. Although I appreciate the wide birth around other cars.

 

I wouldn't put a K&N in anything I expected or desired to last 100k or more miles, they are not as effective as they would like you to believe. There have been many tests conferming this.
A good quality dry fiber filter is your best bet.
Yes, I have had K&N in my own junk, and found dust in the Intake tube over time, this is also getting into the engine.
The marketing slogan at one time was " it filters better the dirtier It gets " think about that.

 

Thanks, this is good to know.

 

Does anyone have experience installing an aftermarket cruise control kit, preferably on the 1st gen? I just got my order from Rostra and I looked at the instructions and I may be in over my head.

 

K&ns work good with large particles.. fine dust is a weak point..

 

I.E. URE clay dust

 

What does it take, plug it in or cut and solder?

 

I don't think I have to cut anything, other than whatever it takes to get through the firewall. It looks like it's just a lot of hooking up and running cables/wires. It's probably not that bad, just a long painful process.

 

Gents,

I have a full set of budbuilt skids that I took off my Tacoma if anyone is interested. You will need new hardware and a fresh coat of paint but other than that they are good to go. For an 05-15 Tacoma. I had my exhaust tucked up to allow for a flat belly so I do not have the spacers. If you have a V6 you will need to have this done, or contact Bud for a set of spacers.

Let me know if you are interested...$500obo seems fair...
