Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

WTB thule crossbars, older square style in 54+", ideally 65" - mine were trashed by a downed power pole/line fleeing tubbs fire. Maybe someone has some in their garage for sale?

 

No doubt that they are fast I just don’t think they make the best decisions on the road.

 

ok new gears are in and there is definitely a difference. i now have 6 reverse gears and 1 forward gear. did i fuck something up?

 

You’ll get the hang of it eventually. I’d leave it.

 

I've missed driving my truck for the last month I'm glad its done. Well sort of done, tomorrow I'm going to start installing the gusseted spindles from @Bentrodder.

 

Remember to install them backwards or they won’t work with the new setup.

 

What about this guy?

That's me too, I cross posted

 

Like @Fernando I won’t.

But it’d be a lot cooler if I did.

Great, that’s the day I leave for Japan lol. Thank you though. Yea we talked for a bit. Asked him about a different shock setup, some Kings for my Lexus sedan maybe?

 

Hit 40,000 Friday, on my 2014

 

We should go some Saturday afternoon. I live pretty close by and probably seem like a certifiable alcoholic by the number of times I go there. Couple beers and something to eat and I'm good.

 

I know, tell me about it. Havent driven since the mendo run. Tomorrow I should be able to finish snorkel and do power steering pump. Then I got a sticky caliper. New one comes Monday. Picked up a brand new 35" spare today at Americas Tire in santa clara. I had to convince them to sell it to me because it doesnt fit their tacoma formula. Fuck I still gotta do the pinch weld too. Time is hard to come by these days . Wanna wheel REALLY bad

 

If it was 4x4, then you should. Im ok with you letting that one go...

I had an 89 dodge cargo van 4x4 conversion with a D60 front end. Named it Chester. Dreams of Baja. Loved that van but I sold it to finance a 2-week Hawaii surf trip. Best two weeks of my life, even though I slept on a tile floor in my friends house every night .

So many stories... I'll fill you in by the campfire one night

 

DAMNIT! New MAF sensor new coils plugs all new vacuum hoses and fuel filter. Still have a periodic mis and wants to stay high idle. I'm fing lost.

 

Tear in the boot between the air filter/MAF and the intake.

If it has a rubber boot.


Wives car had something similar and I pulled the boot off and it had a bunch of cracks allowing air in post MAF and pre intake. She’d throw a lean bank code periodically and it’d idle weird. She has a turbo though which might make a difference.


Shot in the dark. Good luck!

Edit snug hose clamps too.

 

What was the original complaint again?

Edit: Check all electrical connections. Maybe check the fuel pressure. If you have a thermal imager or IR temp gauge, check the header pipe temp and see if you can isolate a particular cylinder that's having the issue-also, what did the plugs look like when you pulled them?

 

We need to change the title to norcal salad tossing thred

Wait....what?

Man....that is a nice weapon!.


I wont....

Wtf? Now im being told to buy
vans? And 2wd?? TW hates me.......




I wood. Shagon wagon!!

 

No lean bank one. All looks great. With all intake. I had it stripped to just head and block twice in three days to replace all vacuum lines and check resistance in all the wiring. All is great. So far.
