Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

*when the groundhog isn't chewing on our internet cables

 

Doesn’t Fancy Creek have some trails that’s not far out of Manhattan? We rode mountain bikes there years ago and I knew a few guys who would take their jeeps out also.

 

Some trails are fairly easy at Tuttle...

 

Definitely need glass in the rear

 

ya you got the case of flat butt man

 

yup loads of easy trails as long as you have someone that knows the area well way easier then k rocks trails sometimes and wide open in some areas

 

So just ticked over 53K on the Third Gen, loving it mostly! So what maintenance should I confirm or need done? I have done normal tire rotations, engine oil change / filter, air filters. I test the 4wd out 1x every month to make sure no issues.

I think it's about time for a front and rear diff fluid change as well as t-case if it hasn't been done. You can also grease the universal joints for the drive shafts but most people never do them.

 

Before you hit 60,

ALL fluids.
Front/rear diffs
Transmission
Transfer case
Coolant
Brakes/clutch
Steering

Greasable points on driveshaft and anywhere else

AC evaporator clean out

Cabin air filter (not everyone gets these changes, they get nasty)

Check rotors/pads.

Alignment. Esp if you've been off road lol.

Wiper blades. Get the good ones.


Uh.... Think that covers it.

 

I need to do most of that at 100k, fun.

 

Essentially what it says in the manual haha

 

What is your recommendation for the good ones?

 

I got Icons.

 

Can someone please take these LCAs off my hands haha? They're practically new...5K miles

 

Sold for no charge! Let me know when I can pick them up!

 

Lol I haven't gotten that far. Not the $8 off brand AutoZone ones Roommate swears by the rainx covered ones. Don't have experience with them myself.

 

So 2nd question is more of, is Firestone completely capable of these or do I need to go back to the dealer? I'm not on board with those dealer prices just yet

 

Personally I'd steer clear, especially on the transmission. "ToyTechs" in Liberty is a honda/toyota specialist. I'm sure there are some on the west side of town.

 

Not sure where you're located, but KMC Mechanical might be cheaper. I wouldn't trust Firestone to do all that. Don't know if anyone else can offer suggestions.

I personally will be doing all that myself with an good crew teaching me. Ever done a transfer case, @Sociopenguin ? I've seen your pictures about to do diffs and stuff.
