NJ B.S. Thread

That's the one that is in there now. The 4wheel drive has been giving me trouble prior to that, it would take some work to go in but at least it would go into 4 wheel drive. The last time I really used it and it worked was last October when I went to Florida and back in November was my last trip to Rausch. I did find out too during the last time I went to Rausch that my rear e locker stopped working too. Last spring I did loose a u joint and it also wiped out the 4 wheel drive switch on the transfer case. A local shop replaced that when they replaced the drive shaft so that is new too. But it hasn't been working since then. When you turn on the the 4 wheel drive you can here the switch engage on the transfer case and the 4 wheel drive ECU clicks once. I did buy a new ADD actuator. I didn't install it but I did plug it in and its not doing anything, but if I disconnect the ADD and leave it unplugged all the dash light light up. So there is some kind of signal getting to the ADD. I'm not sure really where to go from here, I'm trying to avoid taking it to the dealer. I don't trust a lot of mechanics anymore.

 

any surf fisherman start getting stocked up on sp minnows for the fall run? Apparently the shortage of tackle is gonna be real bad this year... just like everything else

 

Pells in Brick has been stocked up on them every time I've been in there.

 

damn…

 

Still have the front diff to do, bolt on 37's and then it's play time!!!

NJ looks bigger than I remember.

 

I’m visiting Jersey for a few weeks and I’ve got my truck any one in the Monroe township/williamstown area wanna explore some trails?

just trying to avoid the mud if that’s possible here.

 

im about 10 minutes from there, lots of trails to check out not too far away. Winslow WMA has some nice sections or at least it used to.

 

After the fire they’re heavily patrolled, or they were last time I tried

 

is it illegal to go explore them?

 

Pardon my ignorance, what is this part?

 

E-locker actuator. This one is about 18 years old since it originally came off a 2003 truck.

This is it cleaned up:

^^ Last one is a video.

 

if your vehicle is registered and insured it is legal. Be aware that hunting season is starting soon and you may get some angry looks from small game folks out there.

so I forgot about the shocks, been driving my BRZ a lot more recently but took the truck in today and noticed a clanking noise from the rear.

I figured it out.

 

Yup, that will definitely make it ride like shit. I've driven on no rear shocks once to @6 gearT444E's place and it was fucking terrifying.

 

Yeah will probably be getting new shocks this weekend.

Has anyone run 5100s with no lift and can recommend it?

I'd prefer not to do AAL of lift blocks, but the ability to level the front a bit would be nice.

 

Your best bet is searching titles for 5100's in the first gen section for more info. Not enough first gen's in the local NJ thread who can give good opinions.

 

Had the opportunity today to visit one of the 7 wonders of the world. The lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu, during my honey moon in Peru.

Wanted to share these nice shots.


Also went up to the very top of Huanapicchu mountain/ 2,693 meters above sea level.



Tomorrow I will attempt to hike up to top of the "Mountain of 7 colors" (5,200 meters above sea level)

 

Quick X-mas tree run to test out the new rig. Picked it up in GA, rust free, but not for long. (Yeah sold the Tacoma)
Didn’t see any patrols, or anyone for that matter. Especially quiet run in north jersey last weekend.

 

Anybody looking for a working OEM front diff actuator for a 2nd gen in good condition let me know. Found this one on the shelf when cleaning up. I took it apart to check the condition, contacts, gears, and motor are in good condition. All the limits work. Will make a good deal to someone local, Toyota wants around $300 for these new. Otherwise I'll post in the BST section next week most likely.
