GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

It's so strange to me how 14-15 and 18-19 4runners are included but not 16-17. How are those magical good fuel pump years haha.

 

I don't really want spacers. I had some and sold them when I got the FJ wheels cause they had better back spacing. Now, it seems like even the FJ wheels need spacers for 285s. I'm kind of eyeing those Level8 MK6 wheels in grey.

 

Also, I don't know how much lift I have up front. It went up when I went from OEM to Ironman. Then back down when I added the bumper. Then back up when I went from Ironman to ToyTec.

I'm about to add a leaf to my Dakar pack and will want to go slightly higher in the front once that is done. So both to correct alignment and go higher, I think UCAs are on the needed list. Not to mention I've been riding the OEM ones lifted for 100k miles. That UBJ has got to be getting worn out.

 

Their whole fuel pump setup sucks. A silt sock in the tank?! This is bs and always has been.
Wondering why your old truck is stumbling on throttle? Silt Sock is clogged up.
Happened on 3 of my yotas.

 

‘17 are not part of the recall right?

 

I don’t think so. We just get a leaky cab light

 

Nope. Haven't seen a single person with a 17 have the issue, but have seen a few 2018's, but its focused more on 19-20. There's a full list on my post on the last page

 

I'm probably going to need to look in to that lol.

 

Forgive my ignorance but can you school me on this? Silt Sock I have a second gen so don't know? I would like to learn.

 

Wells technically speaking it’s called a Fuel Pump Sock, but these bastards get clogged up and ya gotta drop yo tank to get it out.
I get you they wanted a prefilter but this is a PITA!

 

So they get clogged in a matter of 3 years or so? To answer my question apparently so! I'll google this for sure. Thanks! Just thinking out of the box seems like there would have been a mod for this already like an external micron filter. Again I have no clue just thinking out loud! I will research. Thanks!

 

There is a mod, you can get a fuel pump made by Under Dog I have one somewhere, and it pairs with an external filter.

jeez the spell check is killing me...

 

Have you done said mod? Or is your truck not included in this? Just asking because you said you have one laying around somewhere.

 

Most people do a lot of shit to their trucks only to find out their fuel sock was clogged.
I was chasing a power issue in my gfs runner. You would push the gas and feel the truck bogging in a cyclic way. After I did everything else I pulled the tank. It looked like a sand box when I cleaned it out. Sock was completely clogged. Changed the Sock and presto.

same shit is currently happening to my ‘07 FJC so I will be installing the Under Dog pump and external filter.

what can I say, we are paying for sand not gas at the pump.

 

That's what I've read on here.........being that close i would put my vin number in the Toyota Site just for giggles.

 

Well it could be worse. My buddy who ran Toyota South came o it to find a waterfall happening in his truck. Not only do those cab lights leak, they create a funnel to dump every drop into your floor board.
Make sure your shit isn’t leaking after a rain.

 

"what can I say, we are paying for sand not gas at the pump."

 

Jason came by today to say what’s up. He said he enjoyed meeting you.
We had a good talk. I saw your post early...your correct on all fronts. One of the coolest cats I have met on here.

 

Agreed.......what can I say the man speaks for himself! His demoner is one that is very rare! Super Cool dude! I could have talked to him for hours but I knew he had places to go! Maybe on the trials one day I hope!

 

Alright guys I need to get thought a thing or 2 about aftermarket rims I’m planning on getting the fuel shok wheels D666 in 17x9 I just don’t know what offset to get?
im running 35 12.5 17 2wd running 1.5 spacers on front
