KO2s almost seem to flex a bit at 8psi

 

De Beers started that in the 1980s to create a market. That was it.

 

They were a huge competitor to us, Schlumberger

 

they weren't that hard were they?

 

Yea I remember....at 15psi no one would realize they were aired down by looking at them. The STmaxx are kind of the same way but not quite as stiff

 

I always thought my parents were wierd when I was growing up. They would buy cars with a big ass motor and a "three on the tree" shifter. Said they didn't like automatics. Why can't we have an automatic like everybody else in the neighborhood? Now I understand why.

 

I had them in 35/12.5R16 on the wheeling hundy and even in that heavy ass pig, like 6000+ lbs fully loaded, and I'd have to air down to 10 psi to get the tires to mold to the slickrock. They sure did give me like 12 years of tread life though

 

Completely different tire. I've never had them but I loved the looks of those directional ones I think their MT line. But must have softer side walls so didn't ride as stiff? I dunno man. Lot of folks have like their Yokohamas though. So it's not a surprise to me that you liked yours

 

what did you end up doing to get the long bolt out for the left bushing? did you remove the diff drop or just grind down the flange

 

I removed the diff drop and pulled the bolt out, if I ground enough to get it out it would have become a 3 sided bolt head

 

I ordered new injector from motor west performance. You guys think I should replace the upper and lower plenum gasket along with throttle-body gasket. Even thought I replace them last year when I did valve cover gasket?

 

Those the metal gaskets? They're prolly fine but if something looks off just know that you're better off replacing though you'll have to wait

 

If they're metal gaskets you're probably good, paper or cork probably need to be replaced

 

Taco AC is working but only barely


I wish I would have done a complete teardown and flush but I don't have any more time or money to throw at it right now

 

Drive naked, keep a towel handy

 

it's all fun and games until a 90lb dog tries to climb on your lap and steps on the privates

 

Happens to me a few times a week when I'm asleep, cats go nuts at night and occasionally the 15lb one will jump up on the bed either right onto my stomach or my crotch. Feels bad man

 

If anyone has ideas for interior mods for my 2004 double cab please post em. I already have floor mats and a new stereo.
