Damn that sux, I feel like people have forgotten how to drive this summer. The accidents have been way worse and more often up here.

That Norweld tray/canopy setup costs over half of what that buyer paid for the whole thing. Maybe the market really is cooling off.

Stellantis has been offering deals like in the old days to move products. I've seen some Toyota people buying it to get a low monthly payment. The market may be coming back to pre-covid pricing.

 

I know a lot of dealers aren't moving cars right now so they're starting to offer deals again. I'm sure they love that haha. I just haven't found any new offering I like enough to put money into that I want to keep for 5 years. (That's in budget anyway. Once you hit mid 50s+ there are some interesting things, but man, upper end of mid range market kinda sucks) I feel like anything that I'd want long-term is old. And it's really hard to think of anything new I'd want for say 10 years.

 

Note to self: buy grease before you lift a truck next time. Had to call it early (honestly it was actually pretty late) because we had no grease for the bushings.

 

I ordered some Toyota drivers from Japan to compare to Vessel. The difference is the handle color and the name. Anyway, Vessel makes drivers for Toyota.

 

The Vessel drivers are niiiiice, it's cool to get them in Toyota branding

 

@Taco critter

Can confirm,,,,,,,,,,,,,?

 

Poly bushings take grease, not rubber.

Take it you had poly bushings.

 

You guys get so many tourists so I can only imagine.

We took Theo to meet my extended family; there were aunts, uncles, cousins I hadn't seen in almost 10 years.

My cousin (same age as I) hasn't fucking aged a day I was like wtf.

Man, was a good break cause everyone wanted to hold him. He didn't cry at all with everyone carrying him around so we got told we were super lucky, etc cause he was crazy calm even with people he never met.

Sat back and drank beers, while they barbecued for us.

 

Yes I have poly bushings from old man emu

 

Well at least you didn't create another suspension thread

There's only a handful of leaf packs that are a direct replacement for Tacoma's so everyone pretty much has the same thing

Also, if you get squeaking (after a year or so) I guarantee it'll be the pads between the leaf packs. Notorious for that.

 

Yeah I’m getting tired of threads bc a post in a thread like this gets a faster response. It’s alright tho I’m starting to just figure stuff out myself so I need to post on the forum less and less.


Also yeah I noticed there were pads and idk why they’re there.

 

Race truck parts are gonna make race truck noises

 

That’s okay race trucks sound cool

 

Yeah, just told you...to bring down the noise for when the leafs rub against each other.

But they quickly wear down and if they're squeaking, that's why.

 

Do I cut metal today or not
