Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Had some time to think today and I think I know why he did the stickers the way he did. This design is sold for Tacomas, 4Runners, and Tundras. That explains why the fender stripes had so much extra (went about 3" below the fender flares, Tundras have tall fenders) and the door stripes were so long (different door lengths).

 

I think the monochromatic would look good too. Like you say, something to break up the silver.

 

If someone tells you to never change the fluids in your truck, stop talking to that person. Fluids break down over time through use, friction, heat etc. Changing a differential oil is only going to help things. Same with your transmission, as long as you don't suck it out at a quick lube place, you'll be fine.

I've been doing my divs at about 50. No issues and they get used hard. As far as the transmission goes between 60 and 100 is recommended just depends on how hard you use the truck. If you constantly off-road and pull trailers, do it sooner. Also it's like a 20 minute job at the dealership (they'll sell it to you as 1.5 hour job though)

Learned something new today

Apparently this thread is like half silver trucks. Who knew?

 

Silver gang silver gang silver gang (I don't know why I spent time making this it's just dumb and funny)

 

Thanks to Cygnus and wi_taco for the advice. So far these kick ass.

 

Oooh those are purty. EBC green stuff + EBC rotors? Is it just an optical illusion, or are those rotors completely e-coated with the black paint? Curious to hear how the green pads work too, I stayed with a less agressive option but always wonder how it could have been.

 

Probably will need brakes fairly soon...where did you get them from?

 

Same here, somehow I missed that discussion.

 

Yeah, I think they're black oxide coated but it's completely gone from the clamping surface now obviously. I like them so far but I haven't put a ton of miles on. IMO the brakes were already pretty on/off compared to other vehicles I've driven. I think they keep the grabby feeling of the OEM brakes but make it more linear beyond the inital grab point.

I ordered from summit. It was the cheapest I could find with OE style EBC rotors.

 

OE style double disks for the win.

 

Damn it!
My wife has made family plans for Pumpkin Chucking Fest at the fair grounds on 10/15. I can’t wait till after Christmas because mid January-March 1 is wide open!

 

a bit on maintenance happened. Throttle body cleaning, MA sensor cleaning, air filter and cabin filter. All that dirt is from the pipeline run this spring...

 

Forgot I still have a compressor for sale. Will take some $ off for face to face sale. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/viair-400p-automatic-air-compressor.765331/

 

A different kind of off-roading!

I need a suspension upgrade.

 

yes you do. zero regrets spending the money on nice suspension

 

A few more ponies would help also....

Someone has to win the lottery, right? Right??

 

I've done a lot stupid shit in my life but standing out in the middle of the desert sucking dust from a truck that is so far past the edge of control going past me at 120-130mph will not be one!

 

Camping this week with Shellshock at Yellow River State Forest. A nice peaceful place and part of the TWAT goes through here. We both drove that part when we left.
