AZ BS Thread 4²0

Its just insulation that will make the cat work even more efficiently now.

 

Fair point I guess. It's dry enough out here it's probably not hurting anything. Tried a wash specifically for mud and the power washer and it did jack.

 

Dang it,
Ive been really busy lately and was lazy and had a local shop do the brakes on the wifes car.

She picked it up and now the brakes are squishy. Not looking forward to hassling with the shop

 

Could be the pads or air. I recently had some Brembo pads on multiple applications cause a spongy pedal. Switched to OEM or different brand pads and it was gone in both vehicles. What pads did they use?

 

Mid tier pads I got from oriellys when I thought i had the time to do it myself.

My money is on the air in the lines

 

Guessing they didn't do rotors? Pretty typical to have a squishy pedal for a thousand or two if not.

 

Nope , brand new rotors.

Assuming they installed the parts I gave them...

 

Sounds like it, that or there's a sticky piston somewhere.

 

Well damn, I just busted out the Caliraised cat guards I was gonna throw on this weekend and I found out they sent me the wrong ones! Sent em for a 2WD Tacoma.

Hopefully their customer service can get me straightened out come Monday.

 

Anyone know a decent self service spray wash place in this area basically 51/cave creek road to the west Shea rd to the south pinnacle peak to the north 101 corridor to the east?

Downside of condo living with a GFC can't go to regular car wash anymore

 

Wanted to give a shout out to @Maxx today. Installed a Bilstein 6112/5160 set up on the new 4runner today, SPC UCA's, new bump stops and rear springs. Just a good dude with great attention to detail. Maxx took the time over a few weeks before the installation to make sure I was going in the right direction and answered all the questions I had, was a great source of info!

 

C'mon Matt, you know thats not the 'hood for that kind of place.

But it looks like theres one on 40th and Thunderbird. Weiss Guys.

 

It's South of you, but I used to regular the Spirit Car Wash just West of Thomas and Scottsdale (I think something like 68th st? 64th? idk)

It was always pretty well-maintained when we lived out there, I just now have one a couple blocks away here in Mesa.

 

Same, of course it's been a long while since I lived just down the road from that one but I remember spirit being quite nice.

 

Thanks definitely sucks and the place across the street wants $45 for a wash then they don't follow instructions like saying please do not put tire shire on my tires

 

But everyone loves tire shine!

 

I had a neighbor who would put tire shine on his Harley …

 

Way back when I had my 92 Camaro RS all fancy. I had some rubber floor mats. And I sprayed them with armor all to shine them up.
Ate absolute shit first time I went to get back in. My friends laughed. I learned a lesson. Ha!

 

@Maxx is a solid dude! He tutored me, too, helped me shop smartly. Enjoy your truck.

 

Long shot, since this is a tacoma page, but I know some folks here have 4Runners. Does anyone have running boards for a 5th gen 4Runner they’re looking to offload? Looking for this style or similar.
