    I sealed the piss out of mine with some silicone 2 haha. I made it air tight, sealed all the rubber gaskets, even plugged up the breathers. No more leak!

    I never run my Tacoma never ... but ... today it got a workout ... :D

    Saw a "hit & run" happen (property damaged & people injured) and the Taco followed perp for 33 minutes (while talking to 911) until the COPs caught them.
    The perpetrator was a very, very drunk woman (all dressed up) headed for the interstate in rush hour. She hit at least 6 other cars, a wall and a building while fleeing.

    The chase touched 3 counties and 7 office parks ... and 4 PDs ... when caught, the perp's vehicle refused to completely stop for the COPs until the perp ran out of parking lot ... :eek:

    The COPs (6 cars) were surprisingly restrained, cuffed her, thanked me and I gave a written statement on site and went home ... and the Tacoma performed well.

    ... ^^^ ... It was not a crazy fast chase ... too much traffic ... many didn't even notice what was going on. She was just trying to hide in all the side roads, office parks and etc.

    In only got a little weird a couple of times, especially when she got stuck in the John's Creek Water Facility and was running all over the grounds.

    And when the chase ended, she almost ran over some little kids when the police were walking up to her vehicle and she started driving off again. She was super drunk and crying ... then she started yelling at the police "the handcuffs are hurting me".

    I was the lead vehicle in a 6 car pile up on I-15 N just outside of Salt Lake City today. Five cars in front of me the lane just decided it wanted to come to a screeching halt. Luckily I didn't hit anyone and just got rear ended. I should just need a new tailgate, bumper, and lights.

    My rear end sure fucked up the GMC 15 passenger van though!

    Pics tomorrow.

    Haha, I'm from FWB/Destin. I can understand the traffic on 98 during the summer, but after living in places like NYC, LA, Atlanta, & Vegas, I almost miss the traffic driving through Destin!

    Engine and tranny grounding.
    I have added 1/0 guage cadence wire for engine/Trans grounding. How I did it.
    Battery neg. to frame,
    Battery neg. to body,passenger side body to frame.
    Battery neg. to head to head to frame,
    alternator ground to frame,
    Transmission body to frame(really helped with smother shifting) On my prerunner I secured one side of cable to empty bolt hole (driver side to avoid exhaust pipe) on back of tranny w/ a 10mm bolt then to frame on bolt under driver side door
    Alternator positive to battery positive with 100 amp fuse between the two ( Voltage now above 14 volts)
    Best to solder ring terminals with torch heat. Shrink tube to seal connections. Sand ground points to bare metal and add dielectric grease.
