Wrenching Party for Moose1998

I got plenty of room for parking.

 

Oh, if you want I have a metric ton of cabin filters still and I'll give you one. I should be able to go to this pending when I'm in cali or not

 

I dont really have anything to do, but I would glad to help.

 

I'll just winch someone out of a spot for me...

 

Awesome thanks Jake. I was gonna order a couple from logical source

What does everybody think of this starting plan. First page. Gonna start with that stuff and go from therw if needed. Mostly concerned with the vibrations and rattles. The knock sound is weird but I'm gonna run it a couple weeks then address It at the mod day.

 

Yea I'd work on the vibe issues... at least attempt to isolate if it's tires or drivetrain. That's the most concerning... now that mine is fixed it's like night and day in terms of mental health haha. I kinda think cinders is where I messed most of my shit up, especially burying the truck out there. I noticed they also tore up the KM2's quite a bit too with that cinders stuff... so hard to say.

 

Yeah. The vibes are numero imo. Gonna start with the balance. What would you suggest I do next if that fails? CB drop? New CB all together? I am gonna tighten everything up too the same weekend we do everything else. Read that a lot of people had no luck with the drop kits, so when they took it off, and just tightened down everything.. that It helped. That plus lowering the rear when I take out the overload should help.

Rattles too have to go bye bye. Lol. I HATE rattles.

 

Well, we can just look at the carrier bearing too... mine was literally obliterated and you could move it by hand with zero resistance. So... I'd at least do that first hah. It was also dry-rotted out

 

Ahh ok. Sounds good to me. Starting to feel more confident that these issues will get resolved.

So your coming up for this right? Maybe we can figure out your retros too.

 

Yea pending I'm free that day and here Yea I'd love to figure out these damn retros haha... now they're getting a ton of moisture in them too

 

Alright. Well you should definitely make the trip up man.

Oh, I found an easy and great way to get rid of the moisture and it never comes back.

Remember when I had that moisture in mine.. well I had the rubber boots on on the back of the housings.. they trap all the moisture in. I removed them.. ran the headlights for half a day to a day.. cleared up. I recently put the boots back on when i washed the truck.. they fogged up again. So.. i took the boots off. and they cleared up. So I run no rubber boots and it allows them to breath. Maybe try that?

 

speaking of rattles, is there a way to fix the door glass rattles?

 

Ahh... yea I was considering if that might have been the problem. I'll pull those off today and see how that goes, good call!

 

Yeah man. And I ran with them off at sedona and never had a problem.

 

I've never done it to a Tacoma but I've re-adjusted my CRX and Interga's a million times. Typically you just pop the panel off and tighten everything up in there, make any adjustments to how it sits.

if the glass is hitting the door skins then you just need a new guide or whatever the hell its called.

 

When my driver side window was rattling... the glass was broken... luckilly warrenty fixed it. It had to have been defective or over-torqued from the factory or something... never seen it happen before.


Also side note Josh... my freak'n driver side bulb is just spining around and I can't pull the connector off :grrr: The projector housing isn't spinning though... bleh.

 

I saw a guy form Safe-lite auto glass crack my drivers door window from over torquing the clamps. It didn't have tint yet so it just shattered and fell into the door. I didn't care but I did get angry when he didn't get all the glass shards out and I had major rattles.

 

That's probably your issue then with the cutoff. Hmmm

 

hmm guess I gotta rip the door card off. seems like its only the drivers side.

 

what is a moose1998?
