South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

They are supposed to have self adjusters but they don't work and you can adjust them without having to take the wheel or drum off from the back side of the plate

 

Ill have to take a peek the next time I get some free time. It's not that I dont believe you but that's a pretty piss poor design by Toyota. Dont get me wrong, I understand the benefits of having drum brakes for towing and hauling, but I would rather have disks in the rear without having to modify the rear-end.

Hello tw family hope all is well. Can anyone find the parody songs that have Freddy Kruger and leatherface and Jason? Can’t find the one to the song shallow. Found the one “I got friends with no faces” by leatherface

 

We can add it to my 100,000 mile tune up. Just say when

 

I hear you on that . That's why I plan on using 4runner axle shafts with the bearing's and backing plate already on them so I can convert the rear to disc brakes

 

Speaking of maintenance, I bought new u-joints and new cv axles from Napa today. At 20% off they were like $75 each. I’ll rebuild my OEMs and save them as spares. Truck is only leveled so I’m not too worried about the boots and I don’t use it as a trail rig so I imagine the slightly smaller shafts will work fine for now. Any tricks to replacing cv’s minus the 35mm socket?

 

Hoping everyone stays safe this weekend!!

 

Baseball day!

First post-school season tournament ... in Chapin ....

& ... off ... we ... go ...


According to tracking, tires should be here today. Day after I ordered them. Damn, that’s fast!

Edit:
On way here: spun the tires crossing 76 from a stop sign.
With a 2.4, that’s not supposed to be possible without serious effort ... Hence, new sticky tires.

 

Afternoon. How's everyone's weekend starting?

 

Good afternoon everyone,
Been lurking the thread for a little while and thought id finally introduce myself.

Marine stationed on MCAS Beaufort
18' Quicksand

 

Won first game
8-2
Started good

Second one this afternoon
Will see if continues ....

 

Welcome! Thank you for your service! Nice truck

 

Semper Fi. Sweet duty station, enjoy your time there.

 

Perhaps the reason I'm not having any issues *knock on wood* could be due to the fact that I set my parking brake when I'm parked up at the house. My reasoning is that I'd rather set my trucks brakes instead of having it rest on my transmission/gearbox on my partially sloped driveway.

I always use my parking brake when parking ...
Put the manual in neutral, & pop the T (old school parking brake)

Aren’t most Tacos manual?
hahahahaha

 

Really should leave in gear as a back up, “just in case”

And manual trans anything is getting harder to find.
I still own a 3rd gen 5spd 4Runner just for that reason

 

that could be then

 

Thanks!

Oh yeah definitely worse places to be. Thanks brother!

 

welcome
