Oregon and Washington BS thread

The gasket stuff snowgod is talking about is called RTVand looks like this

Don't put that stuff on your diff. You don't want to mix it with the stock gasket. The gasket needs two solid metal surfaces on each side to apply a even amount of pressure to it. Putting RTV in there can allow for small holes due to its uneven surface. Make sure your torque your bolts opposite of each other too. I'd change it yourself with just the gasket. Use a scotch pad real good on the gasket areas when you take the RTV off. You want a clean metal to gasket surface.

 

Well.. want a high five, case of beer and say 8k? Lol

 

You're selling your truck?

 

If you don't owe on it, why not buy a 2nd gen and mod that. Or atleast buy a trailer and tow yours to the beach and rally that thing knowing you have a DD to get ya around.

 

2nd Gens really don't have that many more problems than 1st gens. 1st gens don't walk on water.

 

One is not better than the other. They're just completely different trucks. I could use the search feature and find you at least 5 different threads comparing 1st and 2nd gens.

The only two problems that routinely come up on the 2nd gens are the squeaky throwout bearing (manual tranny only) and a squeaky blower fan. Whoop-di-do.

 

And all the plastic parts.

 

buy a tundra there are no real problems with those

 

Lol. The 1st gen has a ton of plastic too. It's just thinner plastic on the 1st gens.

 

Anyone have a Subaru owner on their list this holiday? I've got a fine set of tires I know you could use.

Heck, buy them for your Tacoma just because they look so sexy.

lee were you still looking for a set of tires for the runner?

or im thinking that your truck doesnt have 17" rims

 

Yeah, I'm running 16's. Thanks tho.

 

My bro gave me a $30 gift card for Amazon... so I of course go and buy $120 worth of hi-lift gear and a tire gauge at midnight. What the heck?

Psh I've seen you do better than them

 

Does the rear DC->AC inverter stay energized when you place the truck in Drive? I'm thinking about putting some Xmas lights on my sliders and bed for the next couple weeks. Kind of feel like getting into the flow of things...

 

Your putting christmas lights on your sliders? How festive

 

Might even do a wreath on my grille

 

Yes it does, though I think it reduces the wattage... but still enough to run lights. Just make sure you get lights that aren't going to get you in trouble with ol' papa bear I think you can run white or possibly non-blinking orange on the body, white on grille, and red on rear.

I might do the same idea, it's badass

 

Lol why thanks Mike

Zach sorry I fell asleep early last night and I MAY be down for the 26th. Got to see how much $ I got left after Christmas shopping. Who else did you recruit so far?
