MARYLAND TACOMAS

Haven’t done mine yet but there’s some info on the 4runner forum or t4r ..mine leak a little but I don’t have time to tear all that stuff apart when it gets bad enough I’ll just have my mechanic do it

 

well in this case it started puking oil into the alternator and was catching fire...so i highly recommend that you don't let it get that bad lol


fortunately we had water right there to clear the oil out of the alternator, but i will 100 fucking percent be investing in fire extinguishers from now on. I do not want to be in that situation again without one.

 

Watch torquing down those valve cover bolts. Overtightening can crack the valve cover. I always snug down the easily accessible valve cover bolts every other oil change or so on all my 3.4's. They come loose.

 

you were with @twheat40 Tyler. You were fine lol.

 

thats probably what happened here.

his 98 is about to turn over 246k and has not had a ton of maintenance. I did a simple tune up on it, we fixed the hole in the rear diff, and got him a spare that i still need to pick up from somebody, i think @Tonymontana still has it.

so its time to fix some things lol

I appreciate you as always Dave.

 

Ugh. That’s what I’m talking about

 

I put $25k down, financed $70k. Principal & interest my monthly mortgage is only $324 a month. I pay $600 a year for property tax & $600 a year home owners insurance. I pay those when they are due, not monthly. Most people I know pay more than $324 a month for a car payment.

 

No the ones we went through were the 2 down 15 mile creek way past that one. It had rained a bunch that week and they were a lot deeper than normal. We didnt do that one because it was way too deep and had a big log in the middle.

 

This is the video of it.

that was a deep hole you hit

 

Those are never really “bad”

People live back in there and that is the only way in and out as far as i know.

I remember laughing at that whole video lol

I’ll put it this way, when those look like that, the ones on the south side at Lower Town Creek and Maniford, are basically uncrossable.

 

that was a great day we need to do this again soon

 

They only get 2-3x worse the further south you go is all i’m saying lol

 

Well have to plan for a time when its rained, but its not stupidly wet. When its so muddy that you can’t even walk around, thats not fun for me.

 

I could make it across that... maybe... Ill try at least

 

I’ll pull you accross if you’re worried

 

I mean the last guy crossing said he was in 2wd lol its like i always say, just speed up and hit it faster You'll bounce over

 

thats the mentality of the one dude that makes me worry like a parent when he goes with us lol

 

Im on 37s and enough room up front lol its made for speed

 

Opinion: Got brand NEW Wheels & Tires mounted and balanced today. 2 of the rims needed 6oz of weight on them. Seems to be a little much for brand new out of the box rims. Thoughts?
