I have a set of some big black and yellow ones, either 4 or 6 tons...rarely use them since the hi-lift is easier

 

Sears also sells a 3T high lift jack stand, but it's only a couple inches longer than the standard. Depends if you have extended travel shocks or not I guess. Gotta have droop

 

Created a preliminary build page... Can't figure out how to hide the link in the signature photo...??

Edit: Hyperlink... Nevamind

 

The high lift stands are about 1" taller.

 

Other than creating my build page...today was a total waste.. Didn't do jack squat! Or is that a good thing?

 

Let me know!

 

Any of u braddahz know of a solid audio shop that can install a digital sound processor that I have? Mahalo \nnn/

 

Lmk, I'll hang out

I have 2 creepers cause my dream is to find a hot girl to wrench with.. And my stands are enough to lift from the frame if placed right, but I do use a block of wood on my jack to get the truck on to the stands.

More da droid though

So you got it?

 

someone should organize a meet, we havnt had one in a while..... NOT IT.

 

did u ever get to upload those pictures from kaena point yet? im dying to see those shots


and i agree i say we should do a sandys meet NEXT SUNDAY (i may be all drugged up but ill still go )

 

can anyone answer this for me, friend of mine is having issues with his 2012 and toyota told him they WILL NOT do any work on his vehicle due to his oversized tires and that it voids his powertain warranty. he needs to go in due to a nasty engine noise which I believe is pinging. I rode in the truck and it def sounds like it esp going up hill. I could be wrong tho

edit: found a vid on youtube which resembles the sound. could be a bad bearing

 

What dealer did he take it to? Ask to speak to the manager, then call the corporate customer service and see where it goes form there.

I still have to follow up on my rear axle, been over a year since I last talked to them about it and they said they call me back in a month or so..

 

not sure which dealer ill find out..

on another note, tried to do my first oil change on my truck and damnnnnnnnnnn....fkn oil filter is tight as a motherfker. ive never ever had to use any type of oil filter wrench in my life but looks like I need to go buy one now. im trying to avoid taking it in for oil changes even tho my first 3 I believe are free. dont want them messing with my truck

 

Corporate would Toyota Hawaii in which is Servco. Im still waiting for a call from servco on my supercharger coolent leak but i already fixed the problem due to servco used the wrong hose clamp. I guess they dont read the installation manual before installing. Its only been a year and a half and no call. lol

 

get to know the truck

or you'll end up like me


a long time ago, before I started wrenching my own shit, I had a local shop put on a diff drop for me

before I learned diff drops are horseshit, but I digress

as I'm working on my bumper, I remove my stock bumper and the stock skid

the shop apparently didn't use the skid spacers I gave them. Instead, they used a couple mismatched washers wrapped in electrical tape

 

Use water pump pliers and oil filter comes off.

 

or poke that fucker with a screwdriver for an instant handle



or don't....

 

i tried that once on a jetta and then found out later that vw progressively got tighter and ended up I couldn't even drive the thing to get a real filter wrench!

 

To remove my diff drop would I need shorter bolts or it works fine? Not too sure so I never tried

 

Can't go over their head to the North America Division of Toyota? I'd call the BBB then.
