But why would I need the MDF if I had that sheet of steel

I scaled my slots to use 10 gauge; it's gonna be a tail-less saurus rex

 

FUCKING LOL

 

That’s awesome!! good thing you didn’t defect to the tundra side.

 

It’s been so long since I’ve had to actually work on the taco that I feel like I should get under it and find something to fix because long trip…hmmm

 

check your tire pressure and yolo the rest

 

I think I'll check the ball joints too, they're those FauxEM 555's.

 

Also...thanks toyota...I feel like I'm at work now.

 

wouldn't hurt


I don't trust the prypar test quite so much. Mine tested fine but after pulling mine off they're pretty notchy and worn out. Gonna throw some new moogs in and slather them in black moly grease this time

 

Been a huge fan of red an tacky but apparently it separated and ran out of the ball joint when things got hot

 

I read some reviews on it a while back and red n tacky really didn't seem all that great. I went with some fancy valvoline grease and nothing has blown up yet...

 

Diamond Flatbed Kits are pretty nice

 

In my mind it used to be a lot better. Been using it for over a decade... in true capitalistic fashion I think they reformulated it at some point to save on cost and made an inferior product riding on brand name alone

Valvoline makes some good stuff, especially since you can pick it up almost anywhere

 

Sending my loaner pupper home here in a bit

i love him so much lol

 

This is the truck I’m looking at trading for. It would be a real coup for me if I got this I think. I’d go up to $5k on top @Kwikvette since it seems like he’s already put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the baseline. I think the 100 series is Toyota’s finest hour - it took care of the reliability issues affecting the 80 series while retaining most of its durability. Sure, the torsion bar front end isn’t going to impress people at the King of the Hammers, but it’s not like the radius mark front end of the 80 is winning any buggy competitions either. If you want a crawler, build a Jeep or mini truck. Oh, and the UZ series is the only gas engine I know of that routinely hits 500k miles without being opened.

 

had a bit of a cry about it this morning

i love dogs so much

 

It looks as no frills as it can get, I'd rock it.

You were doing well until you said "it took care of the reliability issues the 80 series had"

The 80 series is stupid reliable

 

Well I can say this without being as worried as I was just a few weeks ago

There's a shelter that's closing its doors permanently and there were over 50 dogs needing homes

We don't have the mental capacity to take on a 3rd, but if we ever did it'd be a playmate for Biscuit

It was being posted on social media (by others) that any dogs left would be euthanized

Took a bit later but the shelter itself stated no dogs would be euthanized so I was like fuck ok good, that was alarming to hear initially

Anyway, they got down to 5 left, but took in 11 more day after Christmas

Hope they all find homes soon

 

Not necessarily reliability, but you don’t have to worry about all the oil pump and oil pan leaks on the 100 other than valve cover gaskets. And they don’t really blow head gaskets either, even though that issue is overblown on the 1FZ. I just think the 100 is more reliable overall, despite sacrificing some durability with the IFS. The 80 is more reliable for tough wheeling or extended rough road use though.
