What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Im running E rated tires also. Just at 30 psi instead of the max 80. Seems to resist punctures a little more. Last a little longer too. Got 70k out of the last set and at 55k on the current ones. Heavier than C rated or P rated though.

 

Yes

 

Just finished wheel bearings, axle seals and drum service.

Now my rear drums don't seem to be getting enough pressure to lock up on a completely icy surface. Fronts lock up really easy, and using the e brake I can lock up the rears easily as well, so the shoes are adjusted and not slipping in the drum, but using the pedal only no pressure seems to be getting to the back

I should easily be able to lock up all four wheels on an icy road. I've bled the rear wheels and proportioning valve 3 times now. Is this just a stubborn air bubble trapped or what? Very frustrating

 

Yep, don't have a problem other than they are heavy and MPG's dropped.

 

What are you going to do when you have to replace your windshield?

 

I wonder the same thing about mine...and all of my other windows. I have so many on the truck.

 

im not expecting to need to replace it more than the rear window. Never ever had to replace a window in anything before tbh.

 

oh my god... that'd tweak with my vision OCD. I can't have anything on my windshield. I begin to get antsy if there's too much road grime/schmutz.

 

Lucky you.

We go through windshields like toilet paper in Colorado.

 

what language are those characters from?

 

Oddly enough I am sort of the same way. At least about grime and such. If there are smudges in my vision, I gotta get my microfiber right away. It will bother me to no end unless I do. But the stickers, not so much. They are largely out the usable visual area.

A GameCube gamed called Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

 

cough..nerd...cough whats it say though? Kind got myself a weird hobby of learning languages id never need to speak lol.

 

They don't say anything, per se. They are runes (or so they call them, I believe glyphs are the "correct" term) that represent the Ancient they are associated with. So they'd mean names. Chattur'gha, Ulyaoth, Xel'lotath, and Mantorok from left to right. The game has other runes as well, but they represent words - either verbs or nouns - and are used with an Ancient rune to create spells.

 

Downhill from here

 

seen -4 and was like pfffft. thats hoodie weather. keep forgetting you guys use freedom units.

our temps here are waay above average lately. sucks

 

Our were way above till yesterday.
I'll let you know what it's at when I get up at midnight.

 

Are they too stiff?? The 17" rims I'm looking have very limited options like you said, I was wanting the cooper st Maxx in around a 33"

 

I run 255/80r17s. A 33.5x10.5 ish. Tall and skinny. Same as a 255/85r16. Don't rub a ton either with current wheels. See how the SCS wheels change that if at all.

Certainly don't float like my 35x12.5r15s (c load) but they aren't bad. Aired down to 20 or 18. Side wall flex is fine and grip is nice considering it's an at. I was impressed with them,put them through their paces in Utah.

Though I'm still not a huge fan of 17s for an avid Offroad truck. Dd and occasional weekend use sure. But not sold,nsaw my wheels come dangerously close to the rocks when the side wall flexed enough.

 

That's the exact tire I am looking at the cooper st Maxx and these rims https://www.roadreadywheels.com/product/toyota-fj-cruiser-steel-wheel/

I'm hoping this cures my awful wheel shaking.

 

Wheel shaking? That sounds like a bad thing haha

I think with those wheels you'll need spacers. If they are true stock specs you will. I have 2nd gen Trd sport wheels right now with 1.5" spacers up front.
