Tacos in St. Louis area

Just breaking balls bud

 

Still at work, trying to keep the doors open here. Had DP ready to rock right in time for them to shut the country down.
So, working and working on the bus and the house to try and keep busy.

Ready for the next time we all get to wheel again, whenever that may be......
Glad to hear you're still doing good bro....

 

Miss you buddy

We're gonna need to wheel soon. Been too long

 

Miss you too bud

 

Good to hear yes being hopeful for a positive outcome

 

Likewise. Got little man here with me everyday at work, trying to keep us all good. Hopefully this won't put a damper on the shop going up
but also trying to be realistic with myself at this point. We'll see....

 

We gonna put these dakars on?

 

You got em?

 

So I’m doing a tire rotation while lubricating the TC UCAs. I want to get my spare into the rotation. Owner’s manual shows 4 tires being rotated, front to back on same side. Can I get the 5th into the mix?

 

I do rearward cross with 5 tires. Helps me not ease a tire so I like it. You may have problems with tpms though. I don’t have them. I would also only do it if you started early. If you have 15k on 4 tires I wouldn’t throw the 5th in because of the size difference.

 

I did this exact pattern but put the spare on the left side.

 

Not yet, I'd imagine I'd have em by next weekend though.

 

Thanks for the replies JT Fisherman and Cygnus. It’s so cool to have a garage to work in! New to me house. All my mods last summer were on a sunny parking pad in Dogtown, with the notable exception of GT’s and Vanga’s garages. Get on the shady side Or under it and run a box fan.

Congrats on new to you house. I hear ya!

I have to visit 2Fang Engineering for most of my truck work! I would love my own house with a garage big enough to store tools and move around freely to work on a vehicle.

 

Nice!!

 

I just wasted a few hours on bring a trailer because I have a project due tonight and I like to procrastinate. Maybe you guys will appreciate these:

05 Tacoma with a very confusing suspension setup... rear leafs look like they got cut off behind the axle and it has ORI struts all around. Anyone know why the rear might be set up like this?

I'm going to guess linking it was out.of their budget so they used the upper leaf as an axle locator. There actually is a type of leaf setup that uses half a leaf pack and one set of links called quarter elliptical. But this is just hackery so they could use an air strut.
