209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

I think just La Grange for this trip
Next trip will probably be further up the hill

 

At some point we could plan something further out if there is interest.

 

I'd like to plan a trip up to Leavitt Lake and maybe camp

 

in, depending on dates and other crap going on.

 

I'm 2 wheel... If I can make it, I'm going. Even to just hang out.

 

Love that place.

 

Nothing glamorous, but needs to be done.

 

Oil/ filter change ✔
Coolant flush ✔
Air filter clean ✔
MAF Sensor clean ✔
Headlight replace ✔
Grease UCAs, Outer Tie rods, Sway bar end links ✔
Check (and top off) Transmission fluid ✔

 

How do you check transmission fluid?

 

With the dipstick.

 

He’s a first gen. They have a dip stick

 

You 2nd geners don't have a dip stick?
Learn sumin new everday.

 

Anyone know the (brake) fluid capacity of an 02? I'm getting ready to do the Tundra swap and want to completely flush the brake fluid before installing the new lines, calipers, and wheel cylinders.

Ordering the fluid but don't want to not order enough... or order too much (brake fluid has a shelf life)

Edit: Should have specified, looking for (brake) fluid capacity of an 02 with 231mm Tundra brakes... I'm assuming the larger calipers add capacity over the Field Service Manual spec.

 

I'd grab 3-4 of the large bottles if you want to completely flush. Gonna take a while and a lot of fluid. Good luck!

I just did all this about a month ago. Dont forget about bleed the proportioning valve. I didn't even know there was a bleeder on it lol.

 

Good call... I didn't know the proportioning valve had a bleeder either.

 

Bleed proportioning valve first, then right rear, left rear, right front, left front. At least that's what I was told.

 

I thought driver rear then passenger rear? (Says the guy with zero mechanic experience)

 

Also a maybe for me. Currently theres no reason i wont be able to make it. But shit happens, people flake (me), usually saturdays are my "doin things" days and sundays are house errand days. May just get er done on saturday so i can meet what few valley locals there are


La Grange is small and boring (hate me for saying it)

Anyone wanna bbq there? Easy up, bbq and some ice chests or are we set on the brewery? (Dont let me impose changing the groups plans, tell me to stfu)

 

No, you start farthest away from the master cylinder then work your way toward it. Apart from the proportioning valve. Passenger rear first so you bleed the most line possible. I can explain it better in person if you're interested.

 

Oh no, i trust your text lol

Next time were together imma pay you to drive my truck for half an hour and tell me how good/bad/ugly everything feels lol
