What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

yea, sounds like a good ol scam. that or selling a good truck to the cartels without actually knowing.


i've gotten many odd requests from people over the years to buy my trucks. i politely tell them to pound sand.

 

Yeah I'm waiting on the Saudi Prince to send me my money

 

I long for the day when the only judgment passed about my choice of beer was how unsophisticated it/beer drinkers were.

 

And truck related. Found an exhaust leak at the crossover flange. Fun times ahead, but first gotta figure what gaskets I need...

 

Dude! Do not have ground fires - It's completely illegal and kids will be waking there the next day. I was seriously burned as a kid because some idiot left buried coals in the sand.

We have a hard enough time keeping the actual pits on the island.

 

After researching it seems you’re right. I’ve been there dozens of times by now and haven’t seen a single sign stating this and plenty of people do it so I figured it was ok. I’m sure there’s at least one sign but still you’d think they’d have a few more where the fires actually are to make it clear. I’ll start looking into portable fire pits. Thx for the heads up.

 

I know a few of you have sounded dampened their cabs, did you use Mass loaded vinyl? And if so what brand/weight did you go with? Would you have done anything different?

 

Interested in this as well as i currently have a large roll of it sitting in my garage that i've been planning to install... cant remember the weight of the MLV though off the top of my head.

Of course the cheaper option is no longer available.

 

Topped off front diff.

Need to replace the cv axle seals; huge case of the 'I don't wanna's'



What's the famous proverb?

If it leaks oil, it's got oil ~ Shitbox 3:19

 

And it’s always fresh if it never stops leaking

 

Guess I’ll post it here too cause why not

the 02 hauled more mountain meats home today

Michelob Bow and Hey Dudes for the win.

 

This is actually the only concept of maintenance Jeep owners understand.

 

Acts as rust prevention too

 

This why I cut holes in my cv boots once a year

 

@eon_blue cv boots are emo cause they always seem to cut themselves

 

how i saw my old dodge with the oil leak it had, new quart every 2-3 weeks meant a happy engine

 

always good to share, looked like a good time man

 

I refuse to comment on this for fear of jinxing my nearly 2 year stretch since having to replace a torn axle.

really though, what worked is lowering the front lift until they no longer rubbed at all. Simple but requires sacrificing glorious front lift height. Painful, I know
