Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Satin black enamel spray paint and the scratches will just disappear.
Though if you dent it that will probably end up being a permanent beauty mark.

 

I walked outside today and noticed a wet spot under my truck...it's not water.

 

OK I'll bite!!



























What was it???????????????????????????????

 

Diff seal bad. Guess I'm putting a bushing in it sooner than later. Was hoping to wait until I take the control arms out, but nooooooooooo.

It could be worse. At least it's only $60 and some time.

 

I thought the same thing when I first saw the pricing on the Rigid ditch lights @Shellshock recommended. Then I compared specs, and bought them. After having and using them, and a Rigid light bar, I can confirm that they are absolutely worth the price. I feel the same about the DD SS3 fogs

Honestly, I haven't felt cheated by the price of anything I can think of that I've bought for the 4Runner... Well.. I suppose the Wavian water jug I bought wasn't worth the price tag. Which is weird, because their fuel cans are frickin' amazing!

My Rigid light bar was like $5xx dollars. D-SS ditch lights were maybe $4xx with shipping.

FR2237?

I know there's a bunch of tight areas up there. But, that one stands out in my memory for some reason.

Early on, even back when I had the Taco, I spent days up there just driving down every road on the MVUM, only to back out of many of them .

 

Same feeling on the wavian water jug. Mine mostly gather dust and I use the dometic go water jug or giant loop cactus canteen

 

I ended up getting a cheapo 7 gallon jug at FleetFarm and have 0 complaints.

I'm still blown away by the fuel can, though. Not regerts on that one.

 

The bad one was 3394 thankfully it was short. Also a bit on 2259E and 2259R. That is a good trail and the mud was mostly hard bottom. There was 1 I underestimated and bogged down as I got to the center, my first thought being out comes the winch. I was able to reverse out and go around so no drama.

 

I have the needle bearing puller and a seal install tool if you need them.
