Toyota calls for Dexron III. I think the fluid that was mentioned at Rock Therapy was Lucas power steering fluid.

I don't know which kind is better than the next, nor do I care enough to track down the 'best'. Usually asking about oils on a forum opens a huge can of worms.

 

Mobil 5w30 synthetic for lyfe

 

Oh I know... probably will just go with what Toyota recommends... thanks!

 

Hey ebbs. I used to have the same problem. They say to clean the screen but I added royal purple power steering fluid to it and the squeal went away and never came back. Just my .02

 

Like said, you'll be fine if you take it slow. Only part that may really whack something is there's an area not too far from Bowling Ball hill where a lot of water collects, it's fairly wide. There's always large rocks hiding out under the water. I'm pretty sure I recall my ex losing a skid plate in there haha. But I've been through there plenty of times with my stock skids.

 

Loosing a skid plate? DB lift problems.

 

U having P/s problems? I got full synthetic oh my god Lucas oil fluid in mine now. Bit pricy but it should with stand anything I throw at it. We'll see in moab next year lol

 

You guys think its possible to get a tube style front bumper fabed for around 500$? I like them more than the plate style and i know those run around 1000$ so one would think a tube style should be cheaper.

 

Not likely. But you may be able to find a trail gear tube style for closer to that. Call Scotty at addicted off-road in Fort Collins.

 

Oh hidy ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day. There we were minding our own business, just doing chores around the house, when kids started killing themselves all over my property.

 

I spoke to Scotty, he told me that tube style didnt look good on a 2nd gen which seemed strange to me and he basically said im SOL when it comes to that price range which is fine but it confuses me how a tube style can cost the same as a plate but im no fabricator so im no one to talk i guess.

 

Yeah, I had that small leak before, still have it, but now the moaning... I'll try cleaning the screen, if not I guess I'll replace the rack first then the pump... they have 170k miles on them so can't be too mad

 

Anyone care to share the scret to removing the Bed Decal's for Tacoma OR? Further subdueing is required.

 

hair dryer/heat gun

 

Well the moaning has got to be from the pump... right about the mileage mine shit the bed too

 

that's what I was thinking... so maybe I'll do just the opposite... pump first then rack... if the screen cleaning doesn't help.

 

Decals or badges?

Decals: get the 3M decal eraser wheel for your drill

Badges: Heat (90 CO direct sun works well) then just peel them off. Goo Gone, elbow grease, wash, clay bar, polish, wax.

 

My guess is the cost will be more because of custom fab. You might try InSain Fab if you can wait a bit. They are small and a bit tied up right now but they have some unique designs.

 

The problem with tubing is getting the bends and angles correct without wasting material. Scotty is really good but I'm sure it's much easier to plasma cut plate out of a template.
