NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Are you buying from ecg then having mule install?

 

Haha, are @Usethe2nd and I getting a reputation for being throttle happy?

 

I don't know what you're talking about...

 

Just have them set up the 3rds. I'd install

 

I'd do it myself if I could remember how to do it. I've setup differentials before, it's been a few years though

 

If anyone needs or knows someone who could use a chrome rear bumper & OEM receiver hitch off a 2013 taco, PM me.

 

I'll add to that OEM list, can't post a for sale in the forums cuz I don't have 50 posts yet so figured I'd let the locals in on a deal.

$500 for the 2016 Tacoma OR wheels AND tires (Goodyear wranglers) (only 2k miles on them)

 

Let's get some beers some gears and do both at the same time. Should be done in a day, 2 days at most with unforseen problems. What ratio you looking to swap to?

Also my pinion seal is leaking. Need to see if the nut is loose or if it's failing. My first gen 80 4x4, that I had when I was 16 with 4.38's trashed the pinion gear after I pretzeld the drive line and stripped every tooth off the pinion. Broke 2 or 3 teeth on the ring gear. I was driving home from wheeling and suddenly felt a horrible vibration then pop bang boom the rear end jumped, tires screetched and next thing I know I'm going no where there's just a horrendous noise. Locked the hub's and limped it home. Pulled the third and was amazed at what I found.

Also had a rear drive shaft fall off just after Hobart on 18, it lost the bolts, drive shaft fell and pogo'd, ass end jumped and then the drive shaft rotated up puncturing a hole through the floor board. Damn near puncturing the gas tank. Again, pulled the rear shaft and limped it in fwd to my buddies in Covington. Ohhhhhh to be young again.

 

I hurd

 

I had an 83 Toyota pu. Same thing driving back, heard a pop, the. Bang, bang, bang, bang bang...drove it home in fwd.

 

I'm thinking 4.56 for 35's.

 

Decide if you are going to SAS or LT first though.. If you SAS I have a feeling you'll want 37's

 

I change my mind everyday...

 

You can SAS and run 35's for about the same price as LT assuming you can do all the fab work. Just need to find a used axle. People break R&P's on 37's with a stock axle.

 

That's the thing I wouldn't be comfortable hacking it apart for a SAS swap until it's paid off. I did just get my credit card paid off and the limit increased, I had a few beers last night and was flirting with the Total chaos website

 

I went through @2ndGenJonny and Avid Off Road, PM him for a quote if/when you get to that point

 

Anyone take a look at the weather report for next Saturdays run? It look like it's going to be wet.

 

Yup. Not sure if we'll be able to do the hill climb on the mid summit trail to Moon rocks.. Definitely plan some other trails just in case.

 

I'm looking at all the trails nearby that we can hit up in case it's too slick

 

Great, my hunting rain gear won't be in by then
