Wyoming B.S. Thread

Or be cool and just buy a ball joint press. Way nicer

 

what? For LBJ?...uh...I don't think that would work..

 

Ya as much as I want to this tacoma has passed frame inspections, but I'm out of coverage on the 21 this month so its only getting regular service and parts until the frame goes. its only a matter of time the rust is close

 

rust? I take it you moved here recently?

If it passed then aren't you kinda screwed?

 

Its a Colorado and WY truck. Ive been in WY for a couple years.

 

ah i take it you were in a large city area that used that nasty spray shit on the roads. That sucks.

 

Ya the truck and previous owner were in Denver. I brought it to Laramie and Cheyenne. But frequent Steamboat in the winter so who knows whats caused it.
As much as people complain about the CRC coating that Toyota does for these it seems to work okay for a bit.

 

lots of coating options out there.

Wish I had done my double cab. 3 winters in missouri were not nice to it. But its not gonna die on me or anything.

 

Ill probably take the time to do it once summer nears to an end. But for now its time to enjoy the weather.

 

My other truck that as far as i know was a wyo truck its whole life doesn't really have any rust issues. But it Cheyenne or laramie spray the roads as well then you should. I know Sheridan does. Was a bit mad when i lived there for a bit when I found that out. Im used to them never spraying and just laying down gravel.

 

Learned a cool new skill today, plastic welding!

Took this hatch off the boat, and plastic frame just fell to pieces. It totally broke and cracked in 3 different places, and there were almost full cracks through in many other places. Took about 24 different welds and about 7 hours to finish it, but the alternative was buy a new hatch for 300 bucks that I’d have to cut out a 1/2” bigger hole anyway. So I’m pretty happy with it! And to think I almost tried to just smear on plastic jb weld. That surely would have broke

3/4 corners fully broke and had chipped apart

Setting the chip in place

Embedding in 2 circular wire reinforcements

“Tacking” in the reinforcement wire


Boom. Solid feeling and pretty good looking. Will see how it holds up while rebedding

 

nice! hope it holds up!

 

Just got back from a hike. 6.6 miles round trip. We hit too deep of snow 3.3 miles in at 8k feet.

I feel like shit too.

 

We had a nice day out in the Red Desert - Killpecker Sand Dunes and Boars Tusk area. Verifying HAM Repeater coverage for a 30 mile running race coming up in a couple of weeks.

 

nice.

I like it out there.

 

First time we'd been there. Super cool area. Ran out of time to go see the petroglyphs, have to save that for next time...

 

Oh man yeah the white mountains are super cool!! Have to check em out for sure next time

 

You guys see the KM3 was finally launched?



Looks like a sipped KM2 with outer lugs from the STT Pro pretty much.

 

Currently taking bets for whether or no the Vision 84 D Window 15x8 3.75BS steelies I ordered will fit without caliper shaving haha. Total crapshoot, some posts say yes some no, manufacturers say yes, some places that install say no. The two main posts that said they wouldn't fit were from 03-04 tacos which are known to have a different caliper for the inclusion of VSC. But an 02 claimed they mounted right up, it's worth mentioning that the 95-04 I4 4WD and Pre-Runner tacos use a different caliper part num than any of the other models. So thus I'm taking bets haha

 

ha! Well let me know. I could use new wheels too
