What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

They must have gotten deformed or dirt got in between? They have always just slid right out on my old DRs & my Icons now. They're not a press fit. Maybe just grab them with pliers, twist & pull.

 

Didn't work, I remember when I got my kings they came with the spacers already assembled and they were pressed in there as well...I think King does it a little differently than Icon and the others. I'm going to remove the coilover completely this next time and try again

 

Oh yeah sounds different. The DR/Icon comes with them zip tied on cause they'll slide right off. I figured most COs used the same FK bearing so they would be similar. I guess not.

 

I'll have to pull up a photo of them and see if mine were like that but I don't think they were. Either way, I pulled on them hard from both sides with pliers and even whacked then with a hammer a few solid times and they wouldn't come off. Gonna have to take the coilover off and put it in a vise so I can work on it more easily.

 

Don't forget to let us know what you figure out. I'm really curious now.

 

Decided to sell her :/

I am looking, link no worky.

 

That sucks.

 

I’m sorry you’re sad and don’t understand.

 

I’m not sad.

And I fully understand that there’s no challenge in this type of “hunt.” It’s pathetic. I’m sorry you don’t understand this.

 

No challenge? Cause it’s super easy to get an animal to step on on a 2” piece of dirt when they have they have the rest of the planet to wander around.

 

Being legal does not make it ethical or kind or humane or sporting sooooo

 

How’s it not humane? I could have let that cat go unharmed if I had chose. In fact I did, multiple times last year.

 

Humane is not causing pain, terror and or broken bones maliciously wounding the animal. You want to kill and eat it, kill it quick.

 

Sorry, I don’t eat cat, not into that. This is probably the most humane and efficient way to harvest and manage these types of critters.

 

Cold start issues on a 01’ 2rz, troubleshooting recommendations?

 

They don't need "managing" you're just drinking the Farm Bureau Kool-Aid. But...this is a Tacoma thread so I will let you get the last word in and then will ignore any more non-relevant pics of you torturing small mammals in the future.

 

Maybe you should just ignored it from the start.
I’ll ignore how oblivious you are to how things work.

 

Your girlfriend must hate you

 

How would you know if they need managed or not? Do you live in that area?

No?

Then how would you know what local populations of animals is?

Animal management is a local problem and should be address as such. It's people like you that force people like me to have to deal with Wolves being forced into an area or Grizzly population getting too high for the land around them to support them.

Trapping isn't that big of deal. Happens all the freaking time.

Far as im concerned that is the MOST intimate way of pursuing prey period. A) you have to find the animal then learn its habits before even laying a trap. B) once you trap it. You end up getting up close and personal with the animal in order to either let it go, or harvest it.

You ever been face to face with a bobcat or lion like @JKO1998 does all the time? Bet not. Dude's seen some cool shit.

Hunting/trapping isn't always just about killing shit. In fact some of my most amazing and best experiences outdoor are due to hunting. And most the time, never even harvest anything.


Also, never forget that land conservation literally would NOT be possible without hunters. Period. They fund almost all of the land conservation. Which now is being threaten as hunting is not as popular as it once was.


Can't imagine why when every time someone posts about it a hordes of people all exclaim how awful and terrible it is..
