MARYLAND TACOMAS

yup. catless header, ceramic coated and i threw heat wrap over that. can actually touch the header when its warmed up, there's very little heat making it out of the header now. also, the previous owner replaced the OEM exhaust with a 2" straight pipe, that helps with the crazy exhaust note.

and on the toyota front, this came in today

 

Got my official tacoma world sticker in the mail today!

 

Don't need it for my 3rd gen. Had it for mpg tracking in my 15 mainly.

 

also, cause i am a forgetful today, we moved trhe first rallycross of the season, its now this upcoming weekend, the 25th and 26th. heres the address if any of you want to come down, 11686 Elk Run Rd, Catlett, VA 20119. gates open at 9am on saturday and 8 am on sunday, its free to come and spectate, just have to sign the waiver and get a wristband from the registration table when you show up. ill be there both days with the focus, and am more than happy to take anyone for a ride. (provided i dont break the car first lol)

 

Got the knuckle off drilled most of bolt out gotta pickup a couple of drill bits and a tap tomorrow hopefully I can save the knuckle since the ones on eBay rebuilt are like 325.00 I didn't really shop around yet either

 

Fun times. somehow didnt notice the craptastic wheel bearings until i was almost done with the car today, so now im swapping in my spare knuckles since the bearing dont feel as shitty in them. i really hate press in wheel bearings.

 

So nothing seems to go easy on me upper ball joint basically grenaded on me during removal
But I did get knuckle bolt out and re tapped ..so now I can actually do the job I intended to and replace axle and lbj gonna pickup a upper ball joint tomorrow after work it won't oem but a Sankie 555 will have to do for now hell l I may still make it to Flagpole

 

May the force be with you!!

 

Better now than on the road or trails!

 

Which is why I'm picking up 2 tomorrow although both uppers and lowers were in great shape only gonna do the 1upper now and the other later but I will take it with me and the press kit I rented if I make it down to the trails just in case

 

For those of you running Sylvania ZXE bulbs, how are they holding up and how do you like them? I loved my Ultra bulbs but they seem to only last about a year which sucks. Hopefully you guys will give these a better review.

 

I like mine, use them only at night time, I always use my hellas for day time driving, so I don't know if my ZXE will last like the others.

 

I was cruising up 4 north with that same quicksand with the rtt at like 6 am this morning. Looks to have FJ 17" steelies color matched to quicksand. I liked it.

 

My stock sylvanias have been kicking since 2007

 

Still rockin those tennis shoes...

 

Only for yard or around the house work

 

Lol i have to wear my safety toes in the garage...too clumsy

Between work and the motorcycle, i've forgotten what tennis shoes feel like

 

I have seen him before also, posted on here and didn't get a reply either, maybe he stays in the 3rd gen section

 

I kinda like the look of the steelies. I'm considering a set of steel wheels that are slightly wider and slightly more aggressive. Since my SR came with steel wheels I could just have the sensors swapped over.

 

Coins!
