What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Pac Northwest Elk arrow slingers have been empty handed for the most part. Too crunchy in alot of areas. Plenty of animals,,just very difficult this year. Modern Firearm starts up and it's once again going to be all the folks from Oly and Tacoma and Seattle slinging lead at shadows. Nuts. I wouldn't recommend it. Sign that policy if you do. HUGE animals on the St Helens Mudflow,,but you have to win the draw. Put my 100mm Konus spot scope on some real beasts in there.

 

just drove it

 

Got the clear coat on the SPC UCA’s.

Yes. I’m finishing the lift next Saturday. Go ahead and get your stink bug puns and insults out now.

 

Doubt

 

Photoshop!

 

Washed my truck

 

Yeah, I use red as well. Never an issue with a cheater bar

 

Found a second entrance to the old trails in town.. Got to the first real puddle and turned around. Way to worried about bogging out. Such a tease

 

How far south are you guys planning to come?

 

Is it possible for a power steering pump to overpressurize and piss fluid out the rack? Pulled my rack and both boots were full of atf. I originally thought it was only the passenger side.

 

The seals just go bad.. rack needs a rebuild or to be replaced

My Avalon has the same issue...

 

It's only a year and a half old. For both sides to fail at the same time seems odd to me.

 

Aftermarket rack? I’ve had aftermarket racks at work fail after 2 weeks. It’s not Impossible

 

Yea, cvj reman taking it to them tomorrow. Hopefully it's warranty but I don't have my hopes up.

But for both sides to literally have fluid pissing out at the same time I'm almost thinking the pump was somehow overpressurizeing. What regulates the pump pressure?

 

nothing.. theres a pressure relief built in.. you can hear it whenever you turn the wheels to lock. if you dont hear the noise then maybe thats your issue.. but ive never heard of one failing

 

Well, it's too late to try that now. I'll see what cvj say but I'll likely end up buying an OEM one.

 

I went with an OEM. i got a brand new one.. i think it was about the same price as the factory reman. wherever you buy it from can probably run both prices.. wasnt super cheap.. but the original is still good at 300k.. so i figure this new one should last just as long.. maybe... hopefully..

 

Any threads, links or tips on converting the lights to leds- parking, blinker, turn signals, high brake light, interior and so on.

Any details or what not is much appreciated.

 

The dome light has issues and the turn signals will need a special relay to not have hyper flash, but all the other bulbs are just plug and play if you want led

 

Relay is the right way. Resistors defeat the purpose of leds saving energy
