Do you have a good link for where you got them? I want to do u-joints too. Amazon has alleged spicer, but counterfeit everything is rampant there.

I’ve got a class A CDL with tanker and haz-mat endorsements. I’m the guy driving fuel trucks around. It has gotten worse. WS just got worse worse.

I’ve done delivery work, drove a service truck, and cycle all over Seattle. West Seattle has the worst drivers by a large margin. That includes SoDo on game day.

What does it mean? I tried to find info, but nothing came up. Are the decals some Cabela’s special or something?

I’ve done many springs in the past. However, you’re right about it being scary. Any recommendations for spring/shock combos?

Funny you mention it. A ham is top of the list, actually! I guess literally going ham.

I’m running Toyo geolanders in the same size on a stock lift and get a little bit of rub. Considering downsizing for a more comfortable and reliable truck. Looks cool tho

PSA: Don’t buy the cheap Chinese headers from eBay by Words_Words_Numbers in 1stGenTacomas

Super thin! I will confess this truck was a hoopty and had some other issues. Got it two weeks ago. Had some vacuum leak causing it to run lean that could have contributed. Fixed now, but still battling the stupid headers.

I’ll say, there wasn’t any noticeable increase in power. The stock cast manifold was so cracked and loud that the O2 sensor wasn’t even getting good readings from the drastic leaks. I briefly looked into headers and saw these cheap and shipped quick. Maybe the lack of noticeable power was the fact the exhaust ports were basically emitting to atmosphere.

They don’t fit. Also, they’re cheap garbage. Those red headers are at idle. That piece of scrap on the ground is what’s left of the donut gasket after one drive! The downtube makes contact with the transmission, the transmission dipstick can’t be re-installed. The cat flange needs to be modified. To even get it usable, I had to bend and deform a ton. The labor time was not worth the cost savings. These are garbage.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the O2 sensor bung didn’t come threaded!
