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

i think it was only for 2nd gens. If it were for first, it would have to include the spindle (2WD / 4wd, abs, non-abs, gussetted........)

 

yup only 2nd gens. i just did the bearing in the tundra a few months ago. 2 plates on the bolts for the dust shield and a 20 ton press had er out in a jiffy (same spindle as 1st gen tacos)

 

You are correct. That was for 2nd gen. We 1st Genners are the only ones that get the joy of actually having to press bearings out of the spindles. 2nd and 3rd just get to unbolt them lol.

 

Much more than a mall truck...

Congrats to the daughter on the upcoming knot tying. Good times. Shall we take wagers on you breaking down during your speech?

 

Ordered up a Borla ProXS pn#40664 muffler.. today!



My truck came with a raspy old custom flowmaster knock off muffler with some high speed drone tone and was thinking to go stock style to quiet it up originally. But oddly I started getting used to this truck being a bit noisy in the city and enjoying some sounds to make it sound faster than it is! Thought this Borla should sound better, at least according to the youtube videos I heard.

Supposedly this flows as good as their race mufflers but without the extra loud growl, guess I'll see, err hear for myself. They even tout their mufflers flow better than a straight pipe, so I guess I will be shredding Mustangs and Camaros in no time... haa!

In sadder Tacoma World news, I got an email from LCE saying their 2.4 superchargers don't say TRD on the manifolds anymore.. deal breaker huh?!

 

lmaooooo

 

How these cats don't rip your pups to shreds is beyond me.

 

I found it...

 

They get a hold of them sometimes, had a dog get it’s head broke over Christmas break. Stopped the bleeding and got him to town and checkout by the vet, couple weeks later and he was ready to go again.

Pretty obvious after you see it

 

I'm hard as nails muthafuka ice in the viens and a stone heart. If I cry my tears will be Mobile 1 5w30 High Mileage.

 

I know that's the norm for you but having a bunch of dogs to chase a wild animal in it's territory to make money off them is still fucked up to me. Your dogs take all the risk, as the hunter you do not. And I have plenty of friends who hunt deer/turkey/ducks. But what do I know.

 

It’s what they were breed to do and have been for hundreds if not thousands of years. Everyone has an opinion and that’s fine.

 

I just want to see you get in a knife fight with a cat. Then you win my approval.

 

How about just a camera?

 

Eh, my uncle does the same thing @JKO1998 does but for rabbit and uses beagles. Ive never seen a dog more happier and "in the zone" then that dog once he got on a scent trail.

 

*TAKING TO LUNCH TABLE*

 

Lmaoooooo

 

Ever measure or get an alignment reading of the camber & caster when doing it yourself with the cams all the way in and out like you described?

 

That's what I was curious about too, caster mainly. Since my last alignment when I got the caster put at 3.5˚ my bushings have been noisier than usual. Didn't happen right away but after a couple weeks it started up. Thinking I'll go back to 3˚ next time.

 

Yea I wanna start messing with doing my own alignments. At least camber & caster and then have firestone do the toe.
Don't think I wanna go any higher than like ~1.3 deg of camber though.
Love to get a set of the cam eliminators with the plates that replace the cam lobes & bolts. But I have no adjustability with my upper TC UCA's so i'd be locked in to whatever it put me at.
