AZ BS Thread 2.0

Throw some poly bushings in there while you're at. It's worth the $30 and Stiffens up the steering quite a bit!

 

Random but I know at least two people on here into reptiles, but is anyone going to the reptile expo in tucson tomorrow

 

I actually have some. Ordered from wheelers and thought it would fix it lol. Not but I have them now. Would anyone want to help?

 

Anyone in south Tucson willing to do me a favor? Need a lift to the VA ER to pick up my truck. Got released and had to leave it yesterday.

 

I would but my head on my 4runner just took a shit... The previous owner must've stripped out the threads where the spark plug screws into and tried to replace it with a helicoil and completely blew out the spark plug. Now I'm on the search for new heads or possibly even a new motor..... Hopefully new heads

 

Ok well if you want to ill probably be here all night lol

 

It shouldn't take you that long! I've done two rack and pinion jobs by myself and took me 3 hours

 

California has some nice tacos

 

And some pretty nice trucks as well........

 

how do you get the 2 line off the rack

 

Line wrench and upper body strength.............

 

Yeah I just used a 12mm wrench. Fluid will come out but you're gonna have to rebleed the system anyways. Don't forget to mark all of your steering components so you can line it up straight again!

 

So I walked out to my truck the other day and noticed that my sliders were getting rusty.
Turns out that when my friend and I painted them we missed the sides facing the truck. They were painted before they were put on the truck so they were facing down and they didn't get much paint.
I never noticed this in AZ but I assume now that I'm in Tennessee they are constantly being exposed to moisture.


You can imagine that I was less than happy so I ran to walmart and got some more Rustoleum and BAM.

 

I know what you mean. I'm on a few Honda forums and a few motorcycle forums and there are never meet n' greets, mod days, or anything close to it. They are rather boring and don't have a ton of useful info like TW does.

 

Its really a Toyota Truck and SUV thing. Every one I have been on someone is always willing to help you with either answers or give you a hand if needed. Landcruiser, 4Runner, FJ, Toyota Pickups every time I have hung out with these groups and been on their sites everyone has been welcoming. Hell I used to be on a invite only site and even those hardcore guys were cool and answered my questions. Also Toyota Is really supportive with people moding their rigs. Hell at the FJ summit (200 Toyotas) TRD is there and everyone of the engineers are there asking/answering questions and they gave a way S/C in the raffle. Jamie and I were talking about the support at the last meet.

 

Can you say... RICE

 

I have heard jeep groups are big too.

 

Like I was telling Alex at the last meet I used to be a part of the fast car crowd and its all about who has the most money and no one really helps.
