MARYLAND TACOMAS

I ordered a transmission skid for mine yesterday. It's going to take some cutting/welding to make it fit though since I'm a 4 cylinder and a prerunner.

 

When you going to trade in?

 

What?

 

Okay, when are you going to swap in a 4.0, 6spd, f/r diffs, and tcase?

 

Looks like I need to schedule a trip to the dealership. Windshield is leaking along the left side. It took less than two minutes to reach the drivers side floor mat. https://youtu.be/5J1RogTrUtE

 

He doesn’t have a rear diff?!?!

I just discovered that my Subaru windshield is leaking too. They recently replaced it under warranty and they did a bad job sealing the top. I’ll be calling them tomorrow.

 

He has an open one...

 

Psh, open diffs are for chumps. I can say that since I’ve been locked for an entire month now.

 

You should’ve just welded it.

I briefly considered it, but you’ve seen my welds. They woulda snapped.

 

Did you have the windshield replaced lately? Take a look of the plastic trim all the way down of the windshield

 

Gotta weld a plate in then weld all the spider gears together

 

Can anyone recommend a good autobody shop before I start calling randoms?

 

@PyritePirateBill might be able to recommend one. He’s in NOVA and works at one I think.

 

4.0? Never. Looking into turboing the 2.7L.

6spd? I have ideas, but need to get in contact with a company to see if they're interested.

Rear diff? Sooner than later.

Front diff and t-case? Never say never, but unlikely. Especially if I do the 6 speed swap.

 

Mornin' Maryland Peeps!

Happy Taco Tuesday!

 

I was thinking about clear coating the struts like someone suggested, but looking at these specs on Fox’s site it seems like they’ve taken necessary steps already.

 

If you're worried about corrosion I'd just coat them in fluid film a few times a year. It's cheap and effective!

 

So I think I’m just going to put a couple coats of this on the rear struts since they aren’t cleared and then fluid film and call it a day.

 

So who's interested in coming up to my cabin the weekend of the 15th? I was thinking that Saturday we could hit the trails at Buchanon State Forest, it's not too far pass GR. Or we could hang out here on the mountain. It's really up to you guys what we do, don't matter to me. Once I figure out who all is attending only thing I ask is each person bring a food and/or drink item. I have a charcoal grill. The cabin has multiple beds with fresh linens, ac and 1.5 bathrooms. Camping is a option also just bring a extension cord if you need power. Like I already mentioned if you wanna bring guns to Shoot bring'em, if you wanna bring atv's or dirt bikes bring'em. Not sure if this should be a guys only weekend, that's up to you guys, so if you guys wanna bring your wife/girlfriend (or both if you got it like that) let me know. Or if you have a friend that you think will be interested bring'em, if he's cool with you he's cool with me. If your interested in coming up pm me and I'll reply with the address. Once we figure out who all is coming then we can figure out what each person should bring food/drink wise. Should be a great time as long as the weather is nice!

ps: My wife isn't gonna be up so we won't have that smorgasbord laid out for us like last time lol.
