MARYLAND TACOMAS

Fluids, spark plugs, hoses, timing belt and I imagine it'd be fine.

I imagine you'll just change the oil, then see if it turns over and maybe see how it runs before you go replacing all of that

 

Yeah. Going to drain and refill with cheap oil, turn over crankshaft manually to feel how free it moves, then do a leak down test on cyinders. Once I am confident it is okay, I will replace timing belt, water pump, full tune up, replace typical gaskets that leak, then degrease engine bay once old motor is pulled, then drop in and try to start it. If it starts, I will then go through and change all fluids.

 

Bout time

 

You'll get there. Took me 3 fucking years of watching my tax return be spent somewhere else before I was able to drop it on the bumper. Hey maybe Mob will have his bumper up and going. Wouldn't be aluminum though.

 

One day. I need to get setup with a welding machine to do aluminum first. My Miller can convert to do it but I need to swap out things and stuff to do it. Would be better just to get a dedicated machine for aluminum.

 

Yup doesn't happen over night man. You'll get there. Glad the business is taking off like it has.

 

So when will we be able to start purchasing skids for the second gen?

 

Ditto. But I am looking forward to rebuild able suspension components once these new ones go up.

 

As soon as they are in stock. We expect to have the front plate in stock in 2 weeks.

 

Do you just have front skid in the works or do you plan to make whole sets? Front, mid, transfer

 

Mobtown, can or will you guys do exhaust re routes?

 

I'm heading up to Harford co now to look at a 02 Tundra TRD with a blown V8. Not sure it its worth a engine swap because the PO told me that it's a lil beat up because it was his work truck. But he told me a few hundred dollars over the phone so i have to go and look at it.

 

If you come across any beater commuter cars like a civic or Camry let me know. Might be in the market to avoid throwing 120 miles a day on the truck

 

Will do entire set. Got front one on its way now so we can finish out the rest. Doing LCA, fuel tank and rear pumpkin too

 

Unfortunately no.

 

Are your skids going to be compatible with with diff drop spacers? And are you going to have options for transfer skid for trucks with and without exhaust reroutes?

 

This is it. Frame has surface rust peeling. I couldn't tell if it's rusted thru.

 

I believe their plan is a full set unless it has changed.

 

Do you already have them mocked up or do you need a test truck?

 

Looks pretty decent . Body panels look straight from the pictures.
