    A few things
    I have the vibe and wiggle in the axle too. At some point we should do a mod day to fix them. I'm sure there's more people with the same problem.

    Yes but installing the diff without a car lift, is a real pain in the ass. Make sure to get all the tools you need that you might not have. Like 12mm allen socket. A heavy-duty breaker bar with a cheater bar. A extra pair of hands.

    Bought a daily driver.
    Anyone else here ride. I have a bunch of friends that ride but it'd be cool to have Tacoma world friends to ride with.
    I'm a new rider...have lots to learn.

    I'm commuting on my ZX10R these days, I'd love to go for a ride somewhere with anyone lol. Been up around Beryessa a couple times, that's always a fun one. I'm not super in to knee dragging, but I like a good fun set of twisties :D

    Sounds good. Once I'm confident I won't kill myself or anyone else I'll do some longer trips. All my friends ride Adventure bikes and go to Baja every year.

    I'll probably sell this thing at some point and get something like a DR650. Two guys ride older KTM640 Adventures but they sound expensive, finicky and difficult to fix. I want simple, reliable and easy to fix.

    Are you talking about the tsb for the needle bearing? If so I wouldn't even waste time at the dealership. Most will prob tell you it's not there or its normal. Went through several here in sac area. Just to the ecgs bushing.

    Built the side walls and supports for the beer bar. Figured this was easiest and best for visual reasons in case it's in the back of photos. Used up all the planks I had leftover. I really like how this wall turned out and can't wait to set it up when we get a house on the back patio or garage hooked to a kegorator. All while detailing a civic. Been a crazy few weeks and only going to get more stressful. Week full of meetings, bachelor party weekend and then a week of hustling and then the wedding is here.

    They tried to give me a hard time about mine cuz of my lift and I only had 7500miles on my 15. If it's totally stock they'll probably take care of it but if you have a lift be prepared to battle with them.

    In SB for my cousins wedding. Wedding on a Monday. I know- it's strange.

    Took a detour on the way here via Carrizo Plains. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

    That place is like a mini Death Valley. Missed the wildflower bloom by 2 weeks, but still worth the effort.
