So far on my trip:

Hole in passenger front tire - plugged

Tear in driver rear sidewall - changed to spare - tire toast

Took massive hit to driver front on a climb - knocked cams out - had to adjust tie rod on trail to get wheel straight enough to get out of trail

Steel spare on driver rear dinged to the point of total air loss - hammered it out with my roofing hammer (you all carry one of those right?) and it’s holding fine now - happened on big hit

Rubber chunk hanging off driver front tire - got out of the trail but need to change asap - happened on same hit above

>1/4 of play in front driver inner tie rod - needed an alignment. Also had alignment shop replace with spare inner that I brought

Had some contact with sway bar on coils - loosened sway bar bolts and hammered the brackets forward a bit. There’s about 1-2mm of daylight between bar and coil now. If they touch again it’s bye bye sway bar.

I have an appointment to get Copper ST Maxx’s installed tomorrow. The Falkens did me well for almost 50k kms but they are tired and aren’t fit for life in Moab.

 

I'm a fan of the ballpeen hammer, will that work or is roofing better?

thank you for your time and answers wheel wizard

 

Are you back down there again or are these from January?

 

In Moab now and heading south tomorrow.

Forgot to include bent driver spindle and dash error msgs that I think dealer has to clear.

 

Arizona or Mexico? Don't go to Communisfornia...

 

Now THIS is what we were looking for!

epic trip haha. Where to next?

 

Who looks aft3r doggo?

 

Overland Outfitters in BC now carrying outgear solutions! @WormSquirts has a wicked shop out there.

I've wanted one for a bit..

 

NOOOOOO MY FUCKING WALLET




@tgelata WHELP IF I'M GOING DOWN, YOU'RE GOING DOWN WITH ME.
TIME TO GET THE REAR BUMPER NOW.

 

that price tho... I'll stick with my SRN Customs special.

 

One of a kind or taking orders?

 

Can do group buy, delivery isn't guaranteed and quality is none-existent

 

Wouldn't have it any other way. even supports the tailgate when it's down


@honkonbobo speaking of the outgear bumper, how has yours held up so far?

 

Ahhhhh let me finish with my current headache.

Also did a nice little weight reduction mod over the last week

Alright, I need some network specialists in here... I got shop approx 100 feet away from the house without internet, how am I going to post all the pictures from there? My thinking is to find these antennas somewhere. Any alternatives or other recommendations? Don't want to dig.


airMAX LiteBeam AC 5 GHz Bridge – Ubiquiti Networks Canada

 

Exactly

 

just run a cable you fu...


actually Ubiquity is really good with their Air to air networking stuff, like actually usable level of good. this is the airfiber.

i think the airmax you're looking at could be overkill for a 100 feet as you need some fancy pants other shit on hand to get it up and running (IDK if it runs subscription to use the app for monitoring) but all in all its decent but only works as a "wireless" cable from point to point as it's a direction link and doesn't work like Wifi.

but running 200 feet of cable isn't out of an option. dig a 1 foot deep trench and run a conduit with 2 cables in it. Have an access point and you're laughing. Most 2.4ghz Wifi networks outdoors will do just fine 5.0Ghz is meh for range.

 

fine, I'll go dig it...

 

Toyota has been confusing me and google hasn't been helping much.
Do you guys know if the Door Mirror Covers are all the same on the 3rd gen Taco's throughout the years?
Toyota says that the 2016-2020 covers do not work with the 2021 models??
