Colorado B.S. Thread

@sean266 was that you I saw headed down clear creek canyon about 2:30? Sure looked like it.

 

So a buddy of mine may need a Cab mount chop on his new 4Runner. Any idea on prices and quality near by?

 

I've got some bamf precut plates if he wants them 30 bucks. Otherwise just let him take it to insain they looked great on the couple I've seen them do

 

Need some help. So I've been looking at ECU's and Im finding two different part numbers for them. My question is, is one going to be a TRD and the other NON TRD? An ebay one I saw was a TRD and the part number is 89661-0Y021. Then on a website where I'm looking up parts I also see 89661-0Y020.

@thefatkid, @lotsoftoys and anyone that can help.

 

I'm not at work so I can't help now. Typically the part number last digit changes only when there is an update. The 2 numbers you list should interchange without issue.

 

I 2nd Corey at Insain!!!!

 

OK thank you Brian.

 

OK Ill let him know. thanks

 

So... anyone running 255/85s on a second gen?

 

@NativeTaco

 

Then it was your twin. White, lifted, tundra with black wheels, trd pro grill, and black tailgate lettering.

 

Yeah I have no idea

 

No worries buddy. Thanks for the response.

 

Were you by chance near Superior today? 36 & McCaslin? I saw a similar Tundra driving the other way that had decals in a similar spot to your "Toytec" ones.

 

Anyone know of a good driveline shop Denver Metro..My take off vibe is back..

 

That sucks Rebecca.

Begin rant...
Toyota really fucked up trying to save a few pennies by doing away with that double cardan joint in the center, but that's just my opinion, along with the c channel frame.
I'm sure some have no issues, or maybe they refuse to acknowledge them, or they attribute them to something else. Doesn't change the fact that it is wrong.

I would have a double cardan joint made for the center U-joint connection and turn the rear pinion to be inline with the shaft afterwards. Or, more expensive, a new one piece shaft, again with a double cardan installed at the transfer case end. Either way, a double cardan joint is required.

There is no fucking way that a two piece shaft with three single u-joints can ever be made to run correctly. There is no other vehicle on the road that does this bullshit besides Toyota. Even long wheel base delivery vans with 2,3 and even 4 piece shafts have a double cardan somewhere in the mix.
All the shimming, rotating, balancing in the world won't change this one simple fact.
End rant.
