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

3 degrees is pretty maxed, but it's more about the position of the rear cam. If it's close to all the way out, your bumpstop is not landing squarely on the strike plate.

 

How much are they splitting? Mine are doing that too. I'm thinking it is caused by the head of the bump stop's mounting bolt. The bump does not strike the upper stop surface squarely so the inside edge of the bump gets rolled into that bolt head down inside the bump.

Its pretty obvious I type too slow.

For those interested, here are some pics of what Dan did.

 

Would an OEM J-shift lever help you out?

I did twin sticks when I swapped my truck to 4wd. I have a J-shift lever sitting in my parts box, I'll never use.

 

Yeah they look about the same as yours do, this second set I have that is. The first set actually spilt to the point it was nearly broken in half and chunked up a bit. I noticed that too that it appears the bump doesn't squarely hit the stop surface and instead seems to only make contact with half of the bump stop which would explain the splitting I think. Last time I checked both sides the other side looked like it had the beginning of a small split as well but not as bad as the driver side. In light of this convo I'll take another look at them tomorrow in the daylight and report back, it's been some weeks since I last checked them.

 

I don’t have an rtt, just a ground tent, but adding a Mr. Buddy heater to the winter camping arsenal was a game changer for me. Pre heat the tent, go to bed cozy. Gotta piss in the middle of the night? Turn that bitch on, take a piss and you come back to a toasty tent.

 

I use a tool like this for separating and removing interior trim. I haven't used it for removing wiring harness clips. I've had the tool for roughly 10 years.

 

Wow wish I saw this a week ago when I still had the mig in the garage.

 

Same issue with my wheelers bumpstops. I cracked another one. I dont always hammer down but when i do, wait....yea i hammer down. Nevermind

 

Yes, yes it would. I’ll pm you

 

I had a heater that I borrowed from a friend as well for preheating the tent. One thing I didnt enjoy was the pool of water and slush that gathered on the tent roof as a result of using it. Im thinking a stiffer rainfly can prevent rain and snow from gathering on top.

 

Actually, my u-bolt flip is from Headstrong and I just welded the Wheelers Superbump kit to those.

 

Good tool for headlight retro-fits.

 

you want me to retro-fit my headlights

 

Gawd please no, you’d be like the guy that burnt his oven down

 

New DD, so the tacos finally a real toy now.

 

Why leave the tent...that's what a piss bottle is for (just be sure to screw the top on correctly and securely)

 

Gatorade bottles are great for this!

 

Out with the guys camping - the whole world is our bathroom
Out with a or the lady camping - anywhere except where we sleep and drive is allowed to be the bathroom

 

Are you interested in selling the lit from your old console?
