GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

When I saw it, it was a middle aged woman going into a Jo-ann fabrics haha.

 

ohhhh that’s on the list too! How’d it shoot?

https://fnamerica.com/about-fn/
“FN America, LLC, is a U.S. subsidiary of FN Herstal, S.A., a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-quality, reliable firearms for military, law enforcement, and commercial customers worldwide. Headquartered in McLean, VA, with manufacturing operations in Columbia, SC,”

It appears they are American designed & made but are owned by Europeans.

 

The fn509 for example is made by fn America. The 502 is made by a German company umarex for fn America.

I think it even says umarex on the frame doesn't it?

 

It does. American engineered but built ‘vith ze cherman precision’ you expect from high quality firearms. I’m gonna try to set this joker up to see if I can hit 250-300yds which won’t be easy.

 

Impact to MPGs?

Sounds like they probably went down with an increase to smiles per gallon.

 

Sounds like he fishes the DH section if that’s the case. Super sweet rig!

 

Believe it or not better mpgs I'm running the torque app and on the hwy my average is 21mpg city is roughly about 16

 

Yo guys I need some help with this
I was just under my truck and noticed some transmission fluid out of this? And my center support bearing is already torn, do y'all think I should take out my shims on the center support bearing? Or do I need to raise the back more? I have no clue why this happens

 

It looks like the carrier bearing needs to be moved forward (toward the transmission, "Up" in the lower photo.)

Does the driveshaft have any forward/backward play in it?

 

Probably need one of these. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-maxtrac-spindles.416793/page-46#post-26220869

 

I think that EXACTLY what I need but I wonder what thickness i should get?

 

seen this?

Just ordered a 1" driveshaft spacer hopefully that'll fix the issue and underlying issue of my center support bearing always tearing up

 

You're sure that it is transmission fluid and not just grease being flung from the u-joint?

 

Nah it's transmission fluid i tasted it

 

how does tranny taste?

 

Same as an manual transmission

 

Like bud light
