    I am quite proud to say I tackled probably the most difficult maintenance task I have ever undertaken.

    Trying to fill your windshield washer fluid reservoir in 40mph gusts is damn near impossible.

    You just keep him locked in the garage and throw food in there to keep him doing something productive?

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    Yesterday I replaced my steering rack bushings w/ ES poly bushings. Went pretty smoothly too! Torqued to spec (which is hard as fuck doing on your back :( ) I was expecting 3-4 hours install but it only took just over 2hours :) the slop is gone and she's driving really tight now!

    I did find a bit of rust hiding under the passenger side "D" bushing but I wire wheeled it and hopefully it holds up for a while.
    [​IMG]

    also seafoamed, and wire wheeled my hitch and re-painted it black.

    Sounds like rack bushings were the hot item yesterday. I went over to my buddies house last night to replace my bushings. Soooo nice having a lift to do stuff like this so I didn't have to lay on my back. Followed it up with a fresh alignment this morning.

    Where'd all you guys get your rack bushings? And did you find it made a big difference? I have 140K on my Taco now so she's due i'm sure.

    I sent out my supercharger to get rebuilt today!

    If you're patient, stealthy and quiet, it's possible to observe the elusive Tacomaus Long Travelous in it's natural habitat...fucking broken and on jack stands. :mad:

    Not entirely sure yet, but I lost 4wd out prerunning yesterday. Wasn't even locked front or rear...ass just started to feel real loose and realized I was just 2wd. Put it on stands and sure enough, front tires ain't moving unless I lock the front...and then only one moves. Fairly certain I broke the passenger side-gear in the front diff.
