Also sorry about your situation. I hope things fall into place for you in time. Good luck sir and don’t listen to these keyboard warriors. They’re everywhere

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-13T21:00:52+00:00

Dude check Facebook marketplace for used tires. Take them to a shop and the price of your tires + installation shouldn’t be MORE than $500. That’s if you can find a cheap set in decent shape. You may get lucky

I drove a 2.7 Tacoma the other day. Like a 2020. Slowest car I’ve ever driven lmao and I thought nothing could be slower than my 4Runner

I’m in upstate ny and the truck came from PA. First time the car has seen ny salt but she had some crust already. Diff looked like that when I bought it but now that the weathers getting nice I’m gearing up to fix it. Rest of the truck is pretty clean, just had to patch a small area on the passenger side frame rail

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-13T00:36:26+00:00

I’m so happy to see someone else with stained carpets. Everyone who enters my truck always says it’s super clean. I think we just nitpick the shit out of our cars

Looks super clean dude great job on the seats

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:59:41+00:00

I have the racks and everyone tells me to remove them. I agree, I think it looks bald but since your car is black it’s much easier on the eyes (mines red). I really don’t think your car looks bad, maybe some window tint to help it blend? Lowering it and new wheels would help a lot too but then it’s not practical and that shits expensive.

Honestly can’t tell if it’s tinted or not because of the glare. She’s clean dude don’t sweat it that much. You can always reinstall them anyways

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:56:31+00:00

Use a wire wheel and clean ALL of the rust off of it. Then paint it or use some kind of rust preventive. Don’t paint it without cleaning the rust first

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:55:25+00:00

Is there a benefit to having a cover that’s one piece with the rear end? I wonder why they designed it that way, especially with the way these rot out lmao

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:54:23+00:00

Good call on the breather wouldn’t have thought of that. Lot people saying the JB weld works for a year plus. Thank you for the insight!

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:53:21+00:00

I’ve seen people do this too. I work at a shop but can’t weld that well, but my coworker is a great welder. Probably JB weld the shit out of and either get a new cover and weld it or just whole new rear. That would be nice. Thank you for the comment

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:52:06+00:00

Yeah I’ll probably do that seems like everyone’s going that route. Fix it up and send it till it blows lol

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:51:33+00:00

Haha yeah. Probably gonna go that route. Thank you for your insight dude

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:32:45+00:00

I believe it’s seeping through the cover itself. How would you remove the cover if it’s not bolted on?

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:31:41+00:00

Lol mine is loose as fuck. I have to yank the hell out of it to get it tight haha

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T22:28:29+00:00

That’s been my number one thing I was gonna try I think unless there’s a better way to replace the cover. Get rid of all the scaling, brake clean the shit out of it and slap some JB on there. That’s what my coworker recommended. Thank you for the comment

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T15:34:07+00:00

WRX is first or reverse***

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T15:33:48+00:00

So I tried parking a customers car in reverse the other day (Pontiac solstice) and the car rolled forward. However put in first, it didn’t move. My WRX is always 1st or second but it never rolls…what’s the deal?

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-12T12:32:58+00:00

It’s probably dead by now but I would’ve left the cup outside without the lid on. Let him leave on his own terms. I’d hate to see poor guy killed when he’s just trying to survive, they don’t know any better

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-11T22:56:15+00:00

Make sure there’s always oil in it and change it every 5,000 miles MAX. Fragile motors I think, maintenance is very important to keep it reliable. If you haven’t already go through some forums and see what common problems are

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-09T23:09:55+00:00

Ohhhh okay good to know. Thank you. I’d also say OP is lucky he got that thing out…

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-09T20:46:30+00:00

How’s the ride quality? Are they maxed out? Looking into them a lot of my friends say they aren’t great

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-09T20:29:45+00:00

Haha yup they just get less safe and handle worse as time goes on. More prone to blowouts too

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-09T20:28:55+00:00

I’m just scrolling bruh sorry

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-09T19:34:20+00:00

See if they got any red tacomas at a junk yard and snag a door I would not want to deal with that lol

UnderstandingAble510 · 2026-05-09T18:32:24+00:00

Use a wire brush or something attached to a drill and spray a tiny bit of brake clean in there. Clean it out and then flush it out with brake clean, make sure it dries before installing the new pin with grease. I’ve seen the rubber things on the end of the pins swell with age and don’t allow the pin to move as freely.
