What have you done to your ride lately?

The Toyota Pickup Truck Is the War Chariot of the Third World

And the Tacoma is the lawnmower and leaf blower chariot of the US.

Driver side Bearing went out in differential causing the cv to seize. It blew gear oil everywhere. Btw a new front diff from the stealership (if they can find one) is $3500

Ouch

I have a core now for anyone looking into locking their front end. The Tacoma’s days are limited starting tomorrow.

My position on my Taco is that it is in a shape that I really can't hurt it too bad. If I was in a position to buy a new truck, I would never want to imprint it with the trail stripes that my Happy Places cause. Therefore, I will be hearing it whine for a good number more years! Unless for some reason, I pick up new hobby
where I don't like getting out and getting some good solitude.

I've noticed that quite a few farm/ranch guys down here are buying gas f250's

I have not looked at the specs but I thought it was interesting.

I bet it has to do with all the diesel emission crap/DEF

My buddy was having a ton of issues with his exhaust filter and other emission crap. Fixed things several times and figured out it was his programmer. Been off 6 months and not a single problem.

I was wanting to replace those cheap Chinese Fuel Injection clamps with real stainless crimp clamps. NO ONE carries them at any part store in my hood. Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Oriely's, NAPA - they all have the exact same, cheap Chinese shit. Don't get me wrong, I know the ones that I will finally get will be made in China. I just want the Good Chinese crap.

Even the threaded band clamps are shit these days.

Check your local homebrew beer supply store. Those are pretty popular in brewing hardware.

As for my axle swap; it is ready to come out tomorrow night. I am wore out tonight and do not want to start something I cannot finish tonight.

Good to know!

Thanks. I ordered some that should be here this week. I just wanted to check it off my list as I have a busy one this week.

Yeah don't use those. They are junk and not reusable...
