@Ice Horse can't seem to find a build page for the new taco.

 

It's in my sig lol vvvvv

Currently cutting a piece of metal to weld over a hole that formed on a crossmember when we knocked out some rust. Lol it's no wonder these frames rust. There are some pretty dumb designs that hold in water. Could have easily put in a drain hole.

 

So I pulled my skids off in search of the rattle that I've been experiencing at between 45 and 55 mph and a high pitched whine at all times, and the only thing that seems to be loose/ movable is where my drivers side axle comes together with the whatchamacallit. Photos below. It has about 1/8th inch of play. It moves on the far right of the second picture, where the two pieces connect. Could this be the rattle? I'm assuming it needs to be replaced, as the passenger side does not have any play. thoughts?

 

Let's see some pics of that RTT!

 

The guy called me and said he'd be back in golden around noon, i called at 130 and told him i had cash in hand and was in golden, he calls back at 330 and said he just sold the tent, so no tent for me....

 

The axle into the differential?

Play as in rotational play, in/out play or cv up/down play? IIRC the first two will have a little play. Hows the differential fluid level?

 

Perfect example of why I f*cking hate craigslist sometimes. Sorry to hear that man.

 

Differential! i was having a brainfart. in out play, the passenger side did not move at all. have not checked fluid levels, but no signs of leaking anywhere

 

eh, it is what it is. I was surprised that i got a call back 5 hours after that was posted.

 

Anyone running the HID headlight conversion from Toytec? Looking to spend the gift card I won yesterday. Seems like a descent "free" upgrade.

 

Also, does anyone know the size of the bolt that attaches an IFS skid on the rear-most attachments. I somehow lost both and have only the front 4 holding the skid on.

 

You need to replace the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing.

So does anyone bowl? I think I'll need someone for league starting in September, Arapahoe bowling center is the location and it would be on Tuesday nights

 

I spy on Wadsworth and 80th.

 

Might be Evan from Stevenson. He lives up that way.

 

Ok, when I passed him I didn't recognize him. He also had a list of trails he's been on, on the driver side of the tailgate. Cool taco tho.

 

That was Evan for sure then with the trail stickers.

 

Hello Mile High People!! 152 days until 2017. I have no idea where the year has come and gone!

Wads and Mississippi

 

Will this help with the noise? I also noticed it a little on my way to work this morning. when i hit a bump on my drivers side, i hear the same noise. it has to be this making the noise, all suspension bolts are tight.
