Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Creeper was so helpful with the ATF drain/fill Saturday morning. I'm just a long armed dude, so trying to bend and contort my arms in order to pump ATF was a chore.

I want to redo it just to feel more comfortable doing it, even though I do not need to. I'll probably just get under there without just to see the difference.

 

They're alright. Use mine occasionally, but generally if I'm under one I'll just trow a piece of corrugate down rather than the creeper.

 

I guess I can understand not using one because it tends to move ya around a little when you're trying do something.

 

how is slithering on the ground better for your shoulder than a creeper?

 

i put my tundra on ramps to fluid film...

thats probably why it took me like 20 minutes and took you a week lol

 

I have ramps as well, hopefully be working on a lift fore too long....

 

i need to use a big poofy pillow to support my neck from the effects of gravity, so the closer to the ground the better
things would be probably easier without that stupid gravity idk

 

i had to put my 1st gen on ramps (one corner at least) to spray under the cab and rockers,etc., the 2nd gen i was actually able to power wash underneath at the ghetto wand wash place with not much issue on my shoulder on the sloppy floor. to power wash under my 1st gen i may need to haul the ramps down to the wash lol, i have a few months still to decide what to do there
but those ramps are friggn heavy! high quality wood and a ton of nails in them, my dad really overdid the nail thing for some reason
i have a pic somewhere of my ghetto setup


not one bit of body perf in that rear fender area! lots of hosing & toiling to keep it from that situation

and body rot is a thing here as witnessed from the 97 cornhusker taco with about 80k more miles than mine

 

i might've used one creeper when i was a teenager or early 20s, but that was so long ago i don't remember
but i had access back then to an open pit after hours at the jiffyLube for any oil or fluid changes on my old rwd car

 

Any of you 1st Gen guys interested in a decent parts truck? Coilovers, Camburg UCAs, yadda yadda...

Damn tempting.

 

I'm temped to see if they'll give me the tires for cheap.

 

It's about an hour from my place.....

 

Yeah its one of those things where I could use pieces ( rear springs, front bumper, drivers door, toolbox, back window...), but I'm hesitant to part the rest of the vehicle in my garage.

 

Nice, I'd buy that if I had my own place.

I saw someone turn a Cadillac Deville into a smoker. Project?

 

I like how it says like new icons but it has loads of rust on it lol

 

Hmmmm. If only it were a hearse, I would be in on that idea.

 

Still doable. Roll the fire in the bed, smoke the cabin up.

 

When I had my XJs, I struggled with that same problem frequently.

 

that is no good and sad to see

ad says its in Cameron MO
