YES!!! Going with 5.29 and if anyone want's to sway me out of it....NOT going to 4.88s

Re-geared my 93' Wrangler (Still have it) and figured out "CRY ONCE, BUY ONCE"

 

New to Tacomas but not new to off-roading......

I totally understand JEEP ---> "Just Empty Every Pocket"

now doing the same thing with the TACO

"Take All Currency nOw"

LOL

 

4.88 ftmfw.

 

OMG

So I was a professional aviator in a previous life.

I actually marked my fluids/tires before Toyota care 5k service.

Lo and Behold......Aside from the TSS recall being accomplished. Nothing was done.

Working with the Dealership now.....

I can do simple checks and Top Off things but really???????

rant mode off....

At least the dealership is working with me. That is a HUGE Kudo to them....however, 99 of the folks don't even check what has been done.

 

I did the same for wifes 4runner. The only thing I actually wanted them to do was rotate the tires... but of course they didn't. What dealer was this?

 

Won't disclose that yet....working with them. But I will say that the Service Manager was upset

 

We used to go to a dealer north of Centennial Airport but after way too many issues in too many departments I will no longer go there. Funny enough just two days ago I tried to give them one more chance due to convenience of location. I needed two crush washers for my transmission plugs. I swung by they were out of stock but quoted me $4.50/ea. That sure seemed high so instead of ordering I decided to shop around. I called another local dealer that I have had FAR better luck with. Part was in stock for $1.90/ea. Same exact part.

 

Compare to other 3rd gens?
Depending on lift maybe new uca to push wheel forward?
How wide are your rims? Will they work with the dirty fives?
Will you need wheel spacers for the stock rims? So ya can clear the uca.

Remove the mud flaps, cmc, maybe hammer the pinch weld. Possibly trim some plastic on the front fender.

 

Yeah Autonation has crack pipe part prices

 

Anyone know of a way to create a switch to inflate and deflate tires from switch pros 9100?

I have the “sponsored by wifey air system” but it’s a switch actuated inflation and deflation process from the air manifold. I’m wanting to connect the air lines then press the

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100 inflate to inflate and press the deflate switch to deflate.

Video links to what I’ve found:

Agriculture air inflation and deflation, with a CTI - central tire inflation rim

Wound need 2 switches. One for each solonoid.

But ya can’t use a true auto system because ya can’t put the air lines through the axles

 

Portal axles.

 

So I’ve got 8 switches on the

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100. I’d use one as inflate and one as deflate. I know I’d have to get out to put the chucks from the air lines onto the tire stem.

 

Correct, and you can get real fancy and do 2 regulators. One to the air up pressure, the other to air down ( if you can find the correct regulator) otherwise you’ll need to watch a gauge to know when to stop letting air out

 

So run 2 switches to 2 regulators with a gauge? Because the wifey air system comes with a gauge

 

Not with that attitude

Where's the fabrication spirit?

 

Assuming 2nd Gen V6 4x4:
Towing
Max Gross Trailer Weight (Hitch): 6,500 lbs
Sway Control Required over 2,000 lbs
Max Gross vehicle weight: 11,100 lbs (Vehicle, Occupants, Cargo, and Trailer)
Max Tongue Load: 650 lbs
Max Gross Trailer Weight (Bumper): 3,500 lbs

I haven't known the actual weight of the heaviest loads I've pulled, and I don't do it that often, but in my limited experience I'd have to agree with that. I also don't have a brake controller, nor have the trailers had sway control that I know of (because honestly aside from a special kind of hitch I'm not sure what that is).

 

Oh come on man. You can’t get all your info from a Toyota manual.

 

Trailer brakes and a brake controller are rad

 

Especially when they worm!
