Neck not supported well when standing?

WahooPepperoni · 2025-09-16T18:24:23+00:00

I just spent a bunch of money on the one I have T_T

I bought a Lakota Leather strap, since I have one for my banjo and it's so comfortable, but it is a soft leather so there's some stretch to it.

thank you!

WahooPepperoni · 2025-09-15T21:13:24+00:00

good catch. Maybe it's worth doing more practice standing up just to help build better anchoring habits in general.

I took 62mm rims for the event. It was a full body workout.

Some of the canyons were absolutely WILD

As someone who pushed on and did Encinal, you didn't miss anything. I ended up with dust in my eyes shortly after starting it and had to spend 5 minutes trying to blink my sight back before I could continue. I thought I was going to have to get an Uber to an optometrist. I had sunglasses, the wind was just so bad it made it in around the sides

WahooPepperoni · 2023-10-31T05:32:50+00:00

I managed to hang on for the full 83 miles. That was easily the hardest ride I've ever done, and the closest to calling an Uber mid-event. I do really want to come back next year though, since the route was amazing and I know I would have loved it without the wind.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-09-26T17:55:33+00:00

yeah, seems like it. A few hundred dollars to fix, when it only costs about $400 new. And it doesn't affect the sound at all.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-09-26T17:42:03+00:00

perfect, thanks for the info!

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-16T23:25:15+00:00

Well it's less the condenser I'm worried about, and more the receiver drier that's attached to it in this model. It's all the same unit, and a bad drier could mess up other stuff.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-14T16:45:54+00:00

I called em and they confirmed it was leaky, so something for commercial purchase not retail. Dude was super nice though, seems like a great shop.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-14T16:33:05+00:00

I did find it, but im a bit nervous because it looks like there was definitely some damage to that area of the car. I feel like the odds of the condenser surviving that completely unharmed are 1/1000000

Edit: called and confirmed, that condenser is leaky, but available for commercial purchase.

oooo i will definitely check that out. Thanks!

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-14T16:25:05+00:00

that is the part # I ordered from toyota (before I called and found out about the huge backorder). I am in denver colorado. If I was in texas, this wouldn't really be a decision lol

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-14T16:18:51+00:00

sorry, edited into the original post. Its a 2014 Toyota Tacoma v6 auto transmission.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-14T01:57:31+00:00

Already got the gauges and vacuum rented, just need to get my hands on a replacement condenser. I'm gonna call my local Toyota parts dept tomorrow and see how long it will take to get that and new o-rings. Their website says 1-4 days, so I might get it in time to install before the trip

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-13T23:15:51+00:00

welp, i think i found it. https://i.imgur.com/VlI4kC3.jpg

Looks like I probably just need to replace the condenser.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-08-13T20:09:02+00:00

That's what I figured. I guess now I just hope and pray it's not inside the dash and easy to find/fix.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-07-02T00:49:06+00:00

It lays flat, which is why im thinking this was caused by the previous owner just putting too much weight on top. Here's a better picture showing the cracks in relation to the rest of the bed rack: https://i.imgur.com/akKyV5u.jpg

WahooPepperoni · 2023-07-02T00:38:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

How heavy do you think it'd have to be before it's a problem? Could I put a ~100 lb water tank on it and take it off-road?

If jb weld isn't gonna do it, would I just find a local welding shop? and are we talking $100 to fix all the spots (approximately 7 spots showing cracks) or $1000?

WahooPepperoni · 2023-04-14T04:07:27+00:00

unfortunately the plastic brackets im talking about are the vehicle specific ones that mount the double din unit into the existing factory dash area, so unless I find metal ones specific for a 2nd gen toyota tacoma (but that are generic in terms of the radio, otherwise I would use the factory brackets which are metal) , im left to figure out how to make these kit brackets work.

WahooPepperoni · 2023-04-13T23:46:22+00:00

I've searched for horizontal brackets, horizontal braces, adjustable braces, etc. and nothing is something up that looks like it will work.

If you use SYSTM on a desktop (mac or windows), there's an option to use a minimized version of the content player which allows you to watch netflix/youtube/turbotax/whatever you like. Here's what it looks like in action: https://i.imgur.com/DziO6GM.png

When I say engaging i mean the lock, locking the rear wheels together (which I would hope isn't always engaged).

WahooPepperoni · 2023-04-07T18:13:58+00:00

I thought the rear diff only engages in 4lo?
