NW WA Meet / BS Thread

3579 I was supposed to get my call last Friday and got postponed until today by Kecia. She said it won’t affect my spot in line. Ordered it 3/3/25 Still waiting for my phone to ring. I’ve been busy sealing up my bed.

 

I had my confirmation call the 15th of May, seemed like it went really quick!

 

Why is it always the GD knock sensor wires!?

 

Install day for the new lone peak

 

I think I got a video from Kecia from inside showing me how the pucks mount. She said they were doing an install on a Tacoma. I removed my plastic bed caps and replaced them with the Voodoo aluminum bed caps. We were making sure everything would fit.

 

I looked and didn't see any available for the 3rd gen, unless the 2nd gen ones would fit. that's definitely the way to go. Headed out to Cle Elum for a shakedown trip tonight with some friends, stoked to test everything out.

 

Acquired a new hooptie on a trade...

 

idk but glad it did. Just finished doing the valve cover gaskets since I was already there. So now just taking the time to go over everything. Cant wait to get out again, two years is to long.

 

Guys, hoping someone may have another idea or know of an issue I’m not able to find. I’m having a sound when coming to a stop under 20mph. It sounds almost like it could be a warped rotor or a pad dragging…but the brakes are fairly new and checked them, they seem to be fine. It sounds like a dry creaking/rubbing noise. The wheel bearings and everything seem to be good. Not really sure what else it could be. The noise is also intermittent it doesn’t do it every time I’m stopping.

Any ideas?

 

Brake shield rubbing?

 

I’ll have to check that again. It’s got me extremely confused…it’s worth a shake down again.

 

My guess as well

 

Awesome thanks! I’ll look at it again

 

You might not “see” it. The rotors kinda float around. Bent it back a whisker all around and test drive it.

 

Thanks for the tip…I will probably have to wait until Wednesday-Friday then I’ll report back unless I can squeeze it in sometime tonight. Thanks for tip guys

 

coming from the front end?

 

Yep…sounds like front drivers side

 

Do you have aftermarket coilovers? Could be the sound a worn lower spherical bearing might make.

 

I do yes. It’s an icon setup. I’ll check that out also … thanks!

 

So..... is that the obstacle that overly pretty "never seen dirt" Tacoma had to tackle on the way to the Tacoma mall?

Where is @Twachilli when you need him?
