Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

for model specific parts I'm always suspicious that it's pretty darn close. I can't see how a parts company would be able to make thousands of new molds vs buying them from toyota? I suppose they may have different seals but I would think a steering rack is the same as OEM. I'd say best middle ground would be reman OEM. I'm pretty sure I need a new rack or at least new bushings. I was just thinking for the hassle of bushings I'll just throw in another rack and not have to do it 2X. Disadvantage is reman usually means sending in a core so unless Rockauto gives me a UPS tag it may be better to get one from NAPA oy dare I say it dealer... so I dont have to ship.

I've definitely seen shitty alternators and small parts like tie rods that are totally different and possibly not as good but some may actually be better.

Let me know how it turns out. @Moogle are you going to do it yourself? There is a good DIY on forum somewhere.

 

Probably out partying

 

Snow!

 

Bout to go play in it

 

Looks nice out right now. Where you headed?

 

He won’t.

 

I guess I might end up going OEM and I plan to DIY. I have a set of poly bushings I was going to replace mine with, but I figured I'll just stick them in the new rack anyway. But I was reading somewhere that you should replace the hoses with the rack, is that true?

 

Spotted this badass tundra in turlock just now

 

Anybody interested in ?

 

Yes please!

 

Hit the link, talk to Chase!

 

That thing is sweet. I wish I was about 4 inches shorter so I fit in a regular cab. How much is he asking for it?

 

I think $15k.

 

Happy brithday @TOP TACO!

 

Not carb legal with the 5.3 swap. Kind of negates it being so clean if you can only drive it on the trail.

 

HB Mario!

 

Thanks guys!

 

If you read the Facebook post, you’ll see that it is not street legal and is OHV only

 

Happy Birthday man. Tomorrows a holiday too.

 

Isn’t that what I said?
