TEC || Ganaraska Forest November 21, 2020

I would have paid extra for the car!

 

Did any one notice my custom TRD decal?

 

It's rather forward-thinking. You won't have the change the decal when you get the URD supercharger kit.

 

They can make a bolt on super charger i wish they can make a bolt on air compressor....

 

I tried to order it but...sigh...they are out of stock....but its in my cart!!!

 

So bouncing over the rocky double track was the last nail in the coffin for my rag joint. Is there a consensus among Tacoma owners regarding the best fix/upgrade? Weld it? Is there a bushing kit?

 

Have you had the intermediate shaft TSB done? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/steering-column-rattle-tsb.96634/

Note the TSB posted is the US version. The Canadian version likely has a different TSB #.

 

Other then replacing with oem I have seen guys replace the worn ujoint with a greasable one. It’s kinda sketchy as it’s technically not a serviceable part. I was just going to buy a new one off of Amazon.

 

I’m referring to the upper intermediate steering shaft attached to the steering wheel. Funny enough I already replaced the lower joint a couple weeks ago which was done in by a different muddy adventure. Man wheeling is expensive

*edit*
I ended up replacing mine with a non-serviceable u-joint just like the OEM one where the end caps are staked into the clevis. Seems to be holding up well. I suspect tolerances on the splines aren’t as tight as OEM but for ~$90 I’m happy.

 

Gotcha. Haven’t run into that issue yet.

 

You want a belt-driven compressor like those offered on 1-ton trucks? I bet the URD supercharger bracket can be modified to mount this:



However, you'd still need to mount a tank, regulator, air/oil separator, etc.

Meanwhile I just keep my winch-sized compressor in a $15 Milwaukee tool bag

 

They used to make these kits for jeep a while back that use the york ac compressor. I actually made my own for the 4 runner 22re its pretty simple after the belt and bracket are worked out. with all the goodies out there for 2nd gen tacomas i'm very surprised no company makes one. I guess the portable ones are enough....

my appologies this should be in Ontario BS

 

I know someone did it on a second gen Tacoma. Believe they used a York compressor and did a bunch of custom stuff to make it work.

for the “monkey see, monkey do” aspect you said yesterday!

e-e-e. ou-ou-ou. ah-ah-ah.

Lol thanks man.

 

No worries. I wish I could remember stuff in real life the same way I remember things I have seen on Tacomawrld. Crazy how that works.

 

Photo dump! (and in no particular order as usual)

 

Is the teacher actually teaching? wow...

all looks great guys!

 

Just sharing knowledge.

 

Looks like a fun time! I definitely missed out I’ll be at the next one for sure!

Question, is Ganaraska Forest open to vehicles all year round?

 

Believe December 1st it becomes snowmobile trails only like a lot of the trails in Ontario.
