Maintenance day at 2 Fang Engineering.

@Sociopenguin @Slashaar

Did a power steering flush to try and solve my steering issues. Not sure if it solved it, but we shall see. Performed oil change on another taco. (By performed, I mean stand around and drink beer while the owner changed it. )

/e: Power steering issue not resolved. Still feeling tightness on the turns. Located some wet areas around the reservoir today, but it didn't smell like PS fluid.

/e2 on 2/8/2019: Was still feeling the tightness, but I planned for some PB blaster and white lithium grease on the steering shaft U-joints. I wanted to make sure my stuff was clean before I did anything, so I took it to a car wash. Washed the inside of the wheel wells, shocks, etc and the u joints. Truck drove SMOOTH after that, so it's assuming some stuff under there got gunked up pretty good even though with the eye test, it didn't appear bad.

Also had a bit of laser tag fun whilst waiting for some good brisket.

 

what you guys think about doing a tuttle creek run some time?

 

Get the RCLT on the DP and then you can hit the Black Trails!

 

Showed my roomie that link, he wants to do that in the future. lol

Rather do KS Rocks first.

I still have to fix my power steering before I do anything.

 

Have you gotten it in anywhere yet to diagnose? If it's a pump we can do that, its like right up front.

 

well ur gonna have to wait awhile then k rocks is closed until frsotbite and even then you have to pre regester to get in tuttle creek is a great place to go i like both places

 

Nobody responded to my email request I sent into Legends Honda.

 

Time to get on the horn then.....

 

Dunno if I'll understand them over the phone, that's why I need an email.

 

Ah, yeah. Sorry bro.

 

Sent another request, asked jaywolfe details as well.

 

So today we got hit with a bit of snow, more expected tomorrow. Took the opportunity to have a 5 min wheeling dealio mainly for a photo op. Can't wait for a lift and new wheels/tires!

Yes, it's a baby mound. I was just a quick in and out, will do a different one tomorrow.

 

Spontaneous buy for some Relentless Fabrication bed bars.

 

Ah so you ended up buying the little rack

 

It was available in our FB group for fairly cheap.

Think it will be good for what I want.

 

Ya I saw them and sent them to a buddy of mine should be fine for ya

 

Nice dude....very nice...

 

Best way to mount quick fists or some sort to it?

 

Trust me, we can handle that...

 

The Taco now has an awning! I tightened up the poles and fabric better after this picture, but forgot to grab an after tighten picture. Y'all just gotta wait till I go to Padre Island for beach camping in 2 months.

Sure wishing I had a good set of A/T tires for a more aggressive look. One day. Slowly building up.
