What have you done to your ride lately?

It is not a war crime the first time.

Yeah, replacing a CV axle that had a blown boot. All done now except for the cleanup. I am surprised that the replacement axle is beefier than the one that was in it. I am not sure if the old axle was OEM or not.

I just went back to the OEM Toyota paper filter after using a K&N since I bought the truck new. Kept reading horror stories about them offroad since they aren't meant to filter out all the dirt from dusty trails apparently. For daily street driving they are fine.
Use the excessive grease on the rotor to keep it from rusting :biggrin:
That's why I liked the drilled rotors. I would pack the vents with grease. That would cool them better and got rid of all my brake squeal.

That's Mr Asshole to you
Did you get those back bolts tightened down ever?
Nope. Carriage bolts didn't stay put. Thinking the lock nuts put a little too much pressure on them and they just spin. It's only 2 not tight but have 3 secure. Mount is solid so I'm good with it

I think it would be pertinent to let us know what you were using before the ticking.
You know, so we know what not to use.

K&N and they are total junk IMHO. My MAF was so dirty with that POS filter might as well of been running no filter at all.


Why drink and drive, when you can smoke and fly o_O

Making use of my TrailToys NSA - 3/8 used so far: 30" single row in bumper, 20" triple row on rack, 8x pods underneath. A couple in the back and it'll magically turn into a yellow FJ with lots of stickers :)

All of a sudden @Silverback is having another dozen light bars delivered so he can propel his trailer with LED power into warp speed.

I do wish I had went with the NSA box from the start. How bad was the install?
Only a pain in the ass because of the lack of space in the engine compartment... had to make a bracket for it & a battery hold down for the blocks

I have plenty of lumens out front but I do need to pony up for a NSA for the back of the Taco. I have some plans for the camp lights.
