VolcomTacoma's Mod day #2 11/21/15 & Hollister Camping After!

Whoa whoa whoa

 

It's ok, I'm legal.

 

I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of said MJ at this camping . Plus random drug tests :*(

 

Ah no bueno, I was kidding anyway.

 

If it's set on the 21rst I'll cruise up to Hollister for some fun! Pretty close to me

 

Is that you selling the Relentless hood light mounts?

 

nope just got into this tacoma 2
months ago haha

 

Bleh lol

 

I have this same sleeping bag stowed away in my RTT (Tepui Kukenam). For anyone with a similar tent, it fits width-wise perfectly, and it's about a foot short of the actual length of the RTT (head to toe). I keep it and 2 pillows in the RTT at all times. Zips up just fine

 

Thanks! It's new and taking up space so someone please take it! LOL

 

Jeff you should just go camping on the 21st.

I just made your Mod day a lot easier. Work was slow and the weather was to good to pass on Saturday and I went for it. Friday I did a test with my 25 year old coil compressor rods. The rod material is spring steel and it's final count of all the struts jobs that is has done. I was able to round up a jack and stands. The real hard part was letting down the short stock springs. All the rods needed to do is go up and down 4 more times. I promised the tool I would retire it, if it could do this one last job. I won,


At this point, took a cutoff wheel and cut the rods off the coils. A non event. Both rods just fell onto the tarmac. RIP strut compressor, you served me well for over 25 years. The Eibach 521600's were what I needed. It's like having a new truck. Lift now about 2.5-2.75" with all my front iron and sag. Back needs to come up now. Rear 5100's and AAL available soon for sale.

I have some wiring to do on my fog lights so I'll show up on Mod day for that.

 

Oh rofl, I was like...uhhh...that looks shady AF lol. Nah we can do the 'jack up the LCA' thang

 

So I went to install my Oil Catch can today...can't even access the tubing under the SC...too much shit in the way lol, I'll have to pull the SC manifold just to get the Catch can installed lol. Thought about the fuel pump...started reading the destructions, it was a little bit in depth for a sunday lol. I'll have to tackle that one of these days...

 

Nobody with little baby hands can't reach it?

 

I shined a flashlight up in there and there's alot of hardline and random action going on just trying to get back there

 

You're having a Japanese moment. Designed by engineers with yes, tiny hands.

 

Oh my god, totally. I tried to wiggle a hand in there a couple times, zero luck. There was zero way I was gonna get a new hose on the nipple and get a clamp on to it.

 

I'm gonna have to do it sooner rather than later though...don't want oil gumming up my intercooler. So I guess I'll have to spend enough money to warrant bigger injectors and then have an excuse to pull the main unit. TWSS

PS you can pull my main unit. In before anyone else.

 

Ugh, so some dude at work "bruised" his ankle over the weekend. So if he doesn't show up for work next week, I MIGHT be working Friday night before mod day. Not cancelling shit, I'm just gonna be cranky all morning, probably lol. I'm still going to try to call off Friday, but if dude is still gone, there wont be anyone to really cover and I'll be screwing over some people if I cant find someone to cover my shift. So we'll see what happens. Word on the street is he's coming back next week.

 

That sleeping bag is very cool. I need to get one of those for my RTT. Unfortunately, I can't take this off your hands. I've already dropped a lot of dough on other things for the truck in the last month.
