209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

With nipps is always better

 

Agreed! I was mostly concerned it might hang past the skid, but there is hella room.

 

Mmmm nips

 

I've got a Fumoto on both my Tacoma (stock OR skid plates, for now) and my Mazda. I think it was a good addition and makes oil changes just that much more easy.

 

Not sure about everyone else, but I'm expecting at least one post from @Uphillshunter tomorrow...

 

Damn has it been thirty days

I wonder how he feels about this state mandated “shelter in place”

I know people around here are over it: https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/l...-sonora-upset-about-covid-19-regulations.html

And for the record they’re upset that Wal-Mart is “essential” but a local mom and pop store selling something similar isn’t.

 

My buddy and I went to work changing my shocks out today, from whatever gross PepBoys special the prior owner put on to some shiny, silver 5100s. Got the rear done in no time at all, much easier than on my Mazda minicar, but one of the front shocks was missing the spring seat kit that I need to install it. Super frustrating, but we capitalized on the time to install some D-rings on the bed bolts and change the spark plugs out. Feels good to have gotten some much-needed maintenance done on my ride! Forgive my venting, but finding a missing part dented my day right up!

 

I hope so I’ve text him a few time with no response, kinda worried about him

 

Yep, same here. Texted with no response.

 

I've gotten responses, but not recently. Gonna check in on my man right now!

 

Let us know.

That guy is the epitome of community IMO.

Always willing to lend a hand or tool or garage. Very cool.

 

Same here it’s been a few weeks

 

I heard back from Matt this past Easter Sunday. He’s just loooking for this SIP to end so we can all camp

 

That's good to know, I guess his phone is sheltered in place somewhere else since he isn't responding to texts. Or maybe it's just me

 

This right here. I'm in desperate need for some 4-Lo. I will wheel to the end of the earth with Matt. No questions asked, just fuck yeah. Our politics may not always mesh and they don't have to. I know good people when I meet them.

 

My son, who is 16, is looking at a truck, anyone got feedback on early gen Tundras?

 

Hey 209. Where’s the B/S? Where’s the shenanigans?

Do I have the right thread?

 

so a question for the group. There looks to be some seepage around the drivers cv. Normal or am I looking to do the ECGS bushing and seal soon?

 

And some bs too. The wife and I went to Lake Amador to walk off some cabin fever with some disc golf. ‘Twas a nice day to be outside.

 

I'm a bit cautious (remember the oil pan "dent" ?!) so id be considering replacing the seal. It doesnt seem super severe (assuming thats 5 years worth of seepage), I would hit it with some simple green, clean it up and keep your eye on it to see how bad it is for piece of mind. Then whenever you do get around to doing the ECGS bushing, handle it then.
