Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice with vacuum talk

Bunch of weirdos in Sheboygan.

True beer drinkers boil them in beer 1st.
Being a non drinker, the last time I boiled them in beer I stood over the pot and got myself a little contact buzz.

 

More stickers inbound-order with Hotshot Offroad. Fairlead and winch line.

 

The first part of my non-truck stickers showed up yesterday...well oiled. Shall we say, that it would do well in a boating accident.

 

Interestingly enough, mine did too!

 

I hate the drum rear brakes on my truck. They are a constant problem. I am seriously wanting a whole new rearend so I can get rid of these fruckers. Why am I bitching you ask? Well, since it is cold outside and I can't work on things easily they have decided to bang and pop and drive me NUTS. Sounds as if the whole backend is coming apart. Actually, maybe it is and it will solve my angst... but I am pretty sure this is those overly complicated antiques that Toyota uses for rear brakes! Grrr.

 

Open the little adjuster hole for the star wheel for the parking brakes, and unload a can of PB blaster into each drum. BG enforce if you have it but PB blaster will work.

And make sure you back in the parking spots. The springs in there that hold tension against the parking brake self-adjust whatever you apply the brakes in reverse.

Between those two practices, my drums have an excellent despite being submerged multiple times a year and sitting outside in blistering cold.

 

Looks real good Pat.
No grill & lite protection?

 

What’s a parking brake?

 

1 'click' of the star doesn't move the brakes much. I usually tighten until the pads touch, back-off 10-15 clicks, then let it auto adjust in reverse.
Seems to work.

 

Its coming. I just got my tubing bender and it is not mounted to the floor yet. Soon... Looking at 1 3/4 DOM for a bull bar.

 

Maybe one of the numerous springs broke (again) or some other malady. Not interested in looking when its this cold. I really dislike these things and I won't be quiet about it...

 

I know what you mean. I've been hanging out in the house, instead of the garage. It stinks.


We're going on an adventure tomorrow.
Son has been asking.

 

Correct

 

^I need a welder^

Could make my own front hitch insert.

 

Nicely done Pat, your truck is leaps and bounds from what it once was!

Jebus that's pricey

 

Buddy from Sheboygan says:

"In Sheb they grill them til well done and then boil in beer with onions and butter that are in a pot on the grill. They plump back up and are very juicy."

 

This is the way.
