DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Time to become a mod.

 

I don't think that's how those are supposed to come off.

 

New two piece design saves weight.

 

Problem solving

The stupid adjuster wouldnt move and the drum had too much of a lip to come off easily. Tried long bolts to push the drum off, but shoes kept hanging. I spent a good 90mins trying to get it off and said fuck it. Less than 5 mins to cut and it was off.

Much better cooling effect

 

When I had to pull mine in the fall, it was also a pain in the ass. Your way probably would have saved a bunch of frustration.

 

Its nearly impossible to even see the adjusters with shocks and leaf packs in the way. I used the bolts to push the drum away from the hub so no danger of me cutting too far. Hoping that I don't have to touch the drums for another 160k

 

I wonder if the mods on DuramaxForum all drive Tacomas?

 

They say the Tacoma is just a Gateway Vehicle to other vehicles.

 

Same-ies

I haven't been to one of these before. Just an excuse to meet up with some people and drink?

 

More or less. We used to have monthly meets and wheeling days, but interest died off after a couple years. Its a good opportunity to talk with others about truck mods and whatever. You might even make a friend thats willing to help wrench on a truck or supervise.

 

I don't either, but I still hangout in the background. I had to sell it because I could not flat tow it behind my RV.

 

Probably stick with these two for now.

 

Another Doug Ranzer fan here. Know him from high school. Great guy!

 

He moved man, hundreds of miles from here
