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

Yeah, there's no way I would even try to do that in the summer! It was challenging enough over 15 weeks.

 

Yep, same here. In addition to the language barrier his lack of interest in the class made it brutal. We learned about grain structure and the finer details in a third year materials course though, absolutely loved that class. It bothered me how little we learned about materials other than the one intro materials course we took. Self learning ftw!

 

I wouldn't have if somebody told me how much material it was. I enjoyed the content but not enough time

Exactly that always turns people off to certain classes

 

I think the proper spelling is gütendheit.

The German way is always the correct way, especially if you need to be precise. And they love procedures. Yah. You vill follow zee procedures.

 

Listen: 1:43 - 1:48

 

What you say about parts being designed to break before others would seam to make sense... I don't recall Toyota making a statement about their trucks were built this way. I think we need to keep in mind that Toyota builds their trucks for "Road Use" first and "Mild Off-Road" use second. They do not fork out the expense of building all parts bullet proof. Plus, I don't remember the off road competition trucks or rock crawlers building their trucks with parts that will bend or break before others will.
What about the manufactures of off-road parts that make super strong UCA's and LCA's. If we follow your previous statement, we then should not upgrade anything.
Just my take on it.

 

Started feeling a slight "clunk" on driver's side but couldn't locate the issue. Last night I finally noticed that the CV is starting to leak a little grease. Is this a "park it immediately" situation, or am I ok to get to work until saturday when I can get it fixed?

 

Should be fine.

I drove over a year and offroaded with torn boots.

 

My '99 (made in Fremont) also shows TABC. I'm guessing that the first two letters stand for Toyota of America.
My '01 Corolla (made in Canada) shows Toyota Motor Manufacturing

 

Ah, now we're getting into the heavy shit. Fantastic diagrams by the way.

Arguably one of the more important classes, depending on which field of engineering you're going into. When all else fails, you can always go back to the basics.

 

Mechanical so yeah I'd say pretty important

 

Apparently after doing some Googling it stands for Toyota Auto Body California or Company. I can't find a reputable source to confirm though.

 

Anyone good at photoshop? Looking for ideas to build a rack for my roof top tent!

 

I should add I did NOT make these. Not that much of a nerd as much as I wish sometimes

 

Lets be honest...what other disciplines are there really?

 

Wow wow wow, pump your brakes there.

Structural FTW

 

I only kid. We're all one big socially-awkward over-thinking family

 

If it is just seeping past the clamp on the shaft, I wouldn't worry about it at all. I ran this way for 4 years.

This happens a lot on the stock/OE CV boots after lifting. I really doubt that the cluck you are hearing is related to the CV boots throwing a little grease. Keep looking for another source for the clunk.

 

You're good in my book haha
