    Front wheel bearings 4th gen/2nd Gen

    I used another dude from TW. He might be using quality bearings, but hubs themselves, just generic ones. It was a pita to reinstall CVs into the hubs, and later major pita again to remove it when I replaced the oil seal. Not even sure he does T4r hubs, that's why I kept quiet. ]

    Front wheel bearings 4th gen/2nd Gen

    OH, good thing you have a personal connection with him. I tried to use him some two years ago, waited over two months, he stopped communicating, had to charge it back. I recommended his services to a guy from PA TW some time before that. He went through similar situation in shorter amount of...

    Realistically, What Tires Should You Run?

    Short answer, YES. It’s a way heavier E load tire, with 1.25" wider contact patch - more rolling resistance I feel it the most during highway speeds coming up on a up-grade/hill, which is multiplied by 3rd gen Tacos not having enough torque and being geared too tall. But... since it's a turd...

    Realistically, What Tires Should You Run?

    This is an interesting tire size. I'm due for tires, so this size might be something to think about, especially that I'm not committed to cutting into the cab and/or tubbing in order to fit 35s (315s) onto my turd gen taco. I used to run 255/80/17 before switching to 285/70/17, and I've noticed...

    Brake fluid

    I thought so too. I have a full bottle left over from probably two years ago when I did brakes last time around, stored it in outside shed. Now wondering whether I should use it or just fuck it and buy new one.

    Firearms bullshit

    Apparently they can't do anything right in NY... Looks like a tragic boating accident is too hard to accomplish https://nypost.com/2023/03/23/nyc-fisherman-finds-bag-of-rifles-in-jamaica-bay/

    Auxbeam Lighting System Install

    Does not look like he's been active on TW in a while. His old iggycorp website doesn't have anything, but seems that he is involved with vagabondoutdoorsshop.com, and sells BD lights on there

    Diff oil debate

    Id I'd also trust engineers, but to an extent ;) A lot of new synthetic gear oils that (let say) Toyota uses, are supposed to be lighter and have/give less resistance, thus better highway fuel economy. They do whatever they can to meet the epa or whatever guidelines. Just something to keep in...

    Mall Rated

    What is so special about those banjo fittings? Is it just because it keeps the line closer/tighter to a caliper, or something else?
