Rust-Oleum rebuild, call me the Rembrandt of rattle can

 

yeah hopefully I kept all the hardware together when I took them off, I'll have to check. Was a few/5 years ago

 

I don't recall the part in red, is that a bushing through the frame. The rear diff cushion mount has a stud already.

 

I assumed it was the nut to attach the 'rear diff cushion mount' to the frame. It does say "nut" on it when you search it


The blue parts are more concerning. I believe they're rubber pieces that absorb deflection from the mounting bolts..

 

Oh shit watch out @Sebz13 you got competition in Cali now...

 

Its a 4Runner site.. I mean.... Definitely not a competitor.

 

Hawaiians be like "hold my Mai Tai"

 

I've got a Mai Tai they can hold but will probably result in a trip to the ER afterward





btw this is where he is 95% of the day since we got Dex lol

 

I think the EVOs might be a bit quieter than the special edition MTPs that were designed for Discount tire that I bought this time in 2020.

When referring to highway manners, one reviewed called them a lady on the streets but a freak in the sheets.

 

omg I'm sending this to my wife pronto, she is obsessed with all things spreadsheets

 

the only thing prettier than a light blue early 1st gen Tacoma is a light blue Hilux Surf, damn...

I know they put it on the T4Rs too but have only ever seen a couple of them around

 

That is pretty much how most forums get started. Certainly true of Tacoma forums, including TW.

TacomaTerritory became TTORA which spawned TacomaWorld.

 

My Toyota forum before this one was Yotatech back in the day, circa 2003/2004...after I bought my '98 Prerunner. It gave me the 4wd itch bad haha. It was very active much like TW is now but not quite this big. Then I guess the owner sold it off and it became laden with advertising and everyone moved elsewhere, probably to TTORA and over here since this one started in 2008?

 

I'm going get 4 more EVO MTs -- special rebate and other discounts bring the set down to a few dollars of buying 3. So I will have 5 alike now. I had been doing a 5 tire rotation.

 

I thought Yotatech was mainly focused on the older 22re and 3.0 Pickups and 4runners. It doesn't seem very active now and the layout is horrible, but there's still a lot of valuable info there.

 

I would get those again but I don't think they come in 255/80/17.

 

Yeah it was way more active in the early 2000s when 1st gens were popular but so were still the Pickups and older 4runners from the 90s and on.

It was a lot like TW in that advertising was subtle and not intrusive, looking at it now you can't do anything on that site without ads popping up at you. But that's why people moved on after the owner sold it off. Nothing kills a forum quicker

 

Do you know why I'm staying with 33s? Because most of the people that I out with are on 31s or 32s. I don't want to be one of those leaders that leaves everybody else stuck. I'm usually the one that takes the deep water crossings first.
