NW WA Meet / BS Thread

When are we hitting Tahuya?

 

You’re alive?

ive called, texted and even tried to notify you on here.

I just assumed i was going to be going to a funeral

 

I would be down for New Year’s Day

 

That’s the one day i cant

i could make the 3rd work

It’s like a water park for your truck

 

Yeah, and I hope you like going slow. Reeaaal sloooow

 

Not really. You can go fast.... Once.

 

sounds fun!

now it doesn’t sound fun


But, I still wanna go!

 

So get a dif breather?

 

For both diffs, tranny, transfer case, and a snorkel for the engine

 

Anyone local happen to have a tech stream cable? Hoping to do a diagnostic check on my system without going back to Toyota.

I thought the front diff and tranny have a engine bay breather but I could be completely wrong been awhile since I did my rear diff breather. Snorkel is hardly ever necessary it seems (unless your literally over the hood) which I don’t see many Tacoma doing, if your keeping a good steady speed forward I have seen most people be okay without one. Though my Dad also flooded a YJ in the 90s (could be off on model) in a parking lot puddle. So you’re not wrong

 

I have one. Not sure how local I am.

 

the front diff/tranny breather is located on the firewall fairly high up. You should be good to go to the upper part of the front inner wheel well

 

Not mine, it’s laying on the god damn floor out in the shop. I forgot to put it on Who’s got the smallest hands on TW

 

A bit far but we will see after I swap my sensor if I still need it. Will let you know.

 

Bring your truck and part to me, and I'll find a way...
Don't mind the 4-5 hour drive each way

 

Any decent sledding spots near rainier to take the kids in the middle of the week?

 

In decades past, my stepmom was involved in a teacher exchange program with Australian teachers. One of the things we would do every year is go snowshoeing up at Paradise on Mt Ranier. As I recall, there was no cost to entering the park, and the snowshoeing tour was funded by donation, so no cost getting up there. If you and the kids don't mind hiking up the hills yourself, go up Rainier for the sledding and be exhausted on the way back home
