NW WA Meet / BS Thread

What’s up with that thing? There’s a 99’ out in our driveway that needs a scoop hood.

 

“needs”…tell me more about a second Gen and needing a hood scoop. Is it functional on a second Gen?

 

It’s a Wife want so it’s a need

 

Ok. Sure…my wife liked it in a Pro also.

Edit: which is why I got a scooped hood.
Happy wife happy life 3rd Genner here.

 

That his truck? Haven’t seen him in a while.

 

I thought it was at first but I don't think it is. Tires definitely don't match and it's a different shade of grey or not even the same color. After looking at his pics, his t4r us more of a tan than grey.

 

@bobsuruncle damn! id cry if that was mine =(

I need dat hood tho!

Fun fact; scooped hoods in Japan are all functional for top mount intercoolers.

 

Back, when did those bypasses go in?

 

I finally got my hands on an angle finder and went to town on my driveline. I put in 2.5 degree pinion shims to lift my rear diff up from about 5 degrees and then I dropped my carrier bearing about an inch and I really think I found a sweet spot. No vibrations at any speed so far

 

Been a handful of years since I ran the busywild in Elbe, so decided to squeeze the (first?) 3rd gen Tacoma down it this weekend. Truck did fine, a little wide for it in spots and dented the sliders more.
Also ordered up a generic truss for the rear axle, going to truss the rear end/make some diff armor and move the brake and abs lines higher up since I smashed those.
Another thing, anyone in the Issaquah/Sammamish area have a 2'x2' chunk of plate? Need to make a new tcase skid since I relocated the exhaust the other week.

 

I need to go to Elbe…

 

It can be pretty fun, not much skill needed to wheel, more or less just avoiding body damage or hitting big holes with big tires and power

 

let me know next time you go, if I’m available I’m down to join

 

Dented or just scratched? I get trail rash like that all the time and generally comes off through buffing with a DA buffer.

 

Doors are dented/creased/rippled and used paint pen to hide the dents from far away

 

Ordered up stuff to do Chevy 63s and Fox 2.5/14s, so will have a pair of bolt on Fox 2.0 Resis/Cd adjuster for sale here soon. They are the 9.6" travel ones!

 

Whens the next meet?

 

I vote Saturday the 25.

 

I should be able to make that date work

 

Just need to decide on a place.
