The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

OK, has anyone else besides me posted something and then immediately gone to the home page only to find out they are not the top recent thread?! Doesn't matter how quick I am, someone else always beats me to the top.

 

Hmm haven't noticed before but I mainly work off my watched threads. This is a pretty active forum, I'm curious how many people post a minute.

If you prefer a slower pace to stay on top, give 4Runners.com a whirl

 

Later in the night it's not as quick, for instance

Ok so the black and blue derp looks pretty cool, but I put 2 coats of matte black over it.

 

Katie's out of town this weekend. What we doing?

 

That place sucks

 

Come to Longview

 

Don't tempt me, I want to try out my new suspension...

 

It is so sketchy though....

Come to Tyler!

 

Lake house beer and tons of beer

 

Hey guys just wanted to introduce my self. I'm cody from orange. I know fajitas21 and I have a 1st gen tacoma. It's a 2000 extended cab 4x4 trd with the 3.4 and auto trans. I look forward to meeting y'all and going on some trips.

 

Sounds like a good time.

I am stuck at work until 1am tonight.

 

Glad to see you posting on here finally. Let us know if you need some help getting your truck ready to go, I know you are doing a radiator replacement. Also, I found a place in midcounty that's not great, but a good place to test out suspension and tires and stuff. We can wander over there one day if you get some time.

 

Yeah I should have the radiator done tonight or tomorrow night. That sounds good though I'm ready for some action.

 

Removed spare tire to get better access to rear diff fill plug on Katie's 4Runner. Found plenty more Gilmer red dirt. The gift that keeps on giving.

 

I got the radiator in and so far it's working well. Tuesday I'm changing my diff fluid and running my diff vents up high. Gonna grease u-joints and front end parts as well. Trying to keep up on the maintenance.

 

The best gift that keeps on giving!

 

Good to hear. Double check but since you have the OR (Off Road) version with locker then I don't think you have the mechanical LSD on your rear diff. That probably means you can run

$29 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90. I run 80w-90 because from what I understand 75w-90 is the synthetic version of 80w-90, which is conventional. Why do I not run synthetic? Because I change my diff oils every 15 - 20k since I off road and tow, and that's short enough that conventional oil won't break down, and also it's like $15 for a gallon of the stuff, so if I get water in my diffs I don't cry because I don't have $70 of oil to drain and replace.

Also, we need to get you a radio. I should have a spare one coming up soon, but they are really not that expensive and you can use walkie's in the meantime.

@Jamart5 did you ever get you a radio?

 

No not yet..
