Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

The answer to the question nobody asked.

 

Last year I broke one belt. So I changed all the belts on both riders. This time the hub broke off the front rim. The rims for the other rider has different hub/shaft size.


The other side it broke at the hub.

 

Won't be holding that one together with JB WELD.

 

I was thinking drill some holes and zip tie it.

 

Based on everyone else’s experience, slee must be the only place with a good powder coat. Mine have been on since 2019 and still solid.

 

You just need to use enough. If it’s not holding, you need more.

 

Well, you need to use them to scratch the powdercoat off.

 

Just says a bit about you and how (little) you use your truck like a truck... Just kinda thinking out loud here. My powder coating is gone, but 35's will do that ya know. Oh and rocks. Lots of rocks...

 

Looks like it could be welded...I know this guy...

 

That totally counts as driving the wheels off it.

 

See, you don't need 35's to break stuff.
16×6.5 Baby
At least the paint is still on.

 

My truck does lots of truck things. Just not a lot body damage things. I’ve definitely hit them a few time though out in Utah and Arizona. Couple scuffs but no rust spots last time i looked.

 

I just discovered toyota went back to the spin on filters for the 2024 tacoma instead of the elements in the canister like on the 3g. Wtf.

One more reason for @LarryDangerfield to upgrade

 

Damn, Pat. That sounds like some condescending shit that I would say, not you.

Did you get the sliders to "look the look" or to protect the bodywork? If the former, I totally understand. I have full armor for protection. I saw a U-toober and he had the opinion the armor was a consumable, something that was gonna get used and abused and maybe even replaced at some point 'cause it was beat to shit. Remove the armor when you sell the truck and the under carriage is pristine and the rockers are intact. I agree with that point of view. Of course I'd like to keep the armor in nice shape, but it was fun getting every scratch, wart and blemish.

 

I got them because running board options on are the tundra kinda blow

But also when i had my habitat, the first place i camped i drug the belly due to the break over angle of the tundra. I’ve done quite a few trails out west and dinged them a couple times. The tundra sits fairly high so it usually was able to avoid stuff and that richs tacoma would hit.

I’ll take my truck about anywhere but i also do it with some caution and planning. Not into beating it up just for fun. Right after i got it i was down in Missouri and put a scratch down the drivers side from the headlight all the way to the taillight. I don’t really care cuz i bought it to use, not to sit and look pretty. That being said, i dont go looking for trouble either, but theres been more than once i found some to get out of.

 

I wanted the 25° sliders because they look better.
I'm glad I grabbed the 0°.
They're more appropriate for beginners.
Like training wheels for O.R.

The kickout makes a nice seat, too.

 

My project today. Brakes all around. At least it’s not raining

 

...yet. (You had to open your mouth)

 

No kidding, it’s a deluge here right now.

 

I'm hanging out the cool kids. That's why I got sliders.

I invite you to Fond du Lac.
