If you dont get pulled over ... fuck it. My neighbor has penn tags from 07... and he lives here lol.

 

just found out the hard way that the hose i used for the rear diff breather isn't fireproof......now i know why i keep a fire extinguisher in the truck

 

that sucks man! What happened? How is the rest of the truck and I'm guessing you're ok?

 

yeah everything's fine. i thought i had tucked all of the wires and hoses inside the frame out of the way, but i gues the breather hose fell out of place, and when i was welding the sliders on, it caught fire. it only burnt about 8 inches of the hose. before i got it with the extinguisher. trucks fine and i have some extra hose and some fittings to splice in a new piece.

on the bright side, sliders are all done

 

Well that doesn't sound too bad then. Good thing it happened while you were working on it!

Well where are the pics then?!! Haha

 

over in daytona beach reppin the tacoma club on 38.5s

 

What are the specs on that? Gears motor ect. Thing looks nice but I would imagine its hard to spin those tires. Looks good tho.

 

2.7, 5 spd, 4:10 gears, i keep up in traffic good i just cant really "root" when mudding, but 4:88 gears are to come very soon, bring it back to about stock

 

Thats cool man you making the august meet in ocala?

 

this is the first im hearing of it but ocalas close i can make it!

 

Check the FL section man its up there on the list think there is 12 or so tw members coming and some friends of the op's

 

anyone else in st. augustine

 

nah, not bad at all. just one of those oh shit moments.

Nice truck man!

 

I'm about to clean up my engine bay so I bought some simple green... should I dilute it like it says or just use that shit strait up?

 

That stuff is potent. Dilute it. I typically dilute 1 part to 3 parts water.

 

i know a couple of kids in palm coast and palatka with toyotas, i from daytona myself

 

let me know how that stuff works. i've been using purple power degreaser. works well, but something better is always welcomed

 

Yeah man I live in St Aug. Where in st. augustine do you live?

EDIT: Just saw a picture of your truck. Never seen it around but it looks good!

Yeah I gotcha. Must have been scary though!

 

i think the worst part was firing off the extinguisher, laying under the truck, at something a foot away. made breathing difficult to say the least.

and now i need to clean the truck because it's covered in a whight powdery film lol

 

Yeah I bet! that doesn't sound too fun haha.

Yeah we had an incident with my sister leaving some grease on the burner that started a fire on our porch and that fire extinguisher stuff gets on everything and doesn't come off! We still have a white film covering most of the floor haha
