Brooklyn?

 

I’m surprised, how aren’t more of you guys buying meeso stuff?! got the mirror signals, total tail lights stage 1, key fob, fuse cover, and stage two side markers.
his shit is awesome!

 

Anyone know how the fender liner clip goes back together? Talking about the front side, second from the bottom

 

Those lights are awesome but duty, conversion, taxes - you're looking at close to 1k

 

I have Meso dome- and map lights, plus a fusebox cover that I haven't installed. The other stuff I feel frivolous or there are better alternatives on the market.

 

I have the dual colour map and dome lights as well as the sequential mirror signals.

 

What's the alternative for total tails?

 

it's all bound to meet with the tree... the cheaper the better, I started picking tail lights off kijiji from the mall guys that get the fancy ones and sell OEM for less than anything found online.

 

Hey fvcker, stay outta my lane

 

Had a great time doing a wheel bearing today.

Cracked while torquing with the torque wrench. Ball joint separator is on order. No more hammering to get the tie-rod to release. Live and learn.

 

I just got the Spyder tail lights from eBay

 

Sea Foam Deep Creep...?

 

One of those times torque wrench can lead you astray. The nut was way overtightened, basically acted like a cone expander and broke the spindle. Look how far past the notches the cotter pin hole is:



I cross-threaded the transmission pan check plug on my last truck torquing to spec. If you have any lubricants on the threads (antiseize, drained oil, grease), the FSM torque spec needs to be reduced by about a third.

 

finally some engineering thoughts! And here I thought we would start "they don't make them like they used to, SAS IT, SAS IT, SAS IT!"

 

Good to know. The torque is only 67 ft/lbs so I figured even with a “wet” torque it wouldn’t matter all too much. Also “always done it that way” so didn’t even think too much about it. Happy it happened in the driveway.

 

The hate is real right now.

 

if only you had double shear...

 

I will eventually

 

Double-shear that sucker https://jdfabrication.com/collectio...cts/tacoma-2016-double-shear-steering-tab-kit



Of course in our climate that heim joint will need yearly replacement...

 

So far I haven’t broke the spindle wheeling or because of wheeling (other then the cracks). Should be okay. Worst case I’ll gusset underneath.

how else am I going to get my groceries and frapachino
