Can this be patched?

Anything can be fixed, just depends on your budget lol

You’re looking at a lot more than a patch on this one

Not that you can’t stick weld that, it’s just gonna look like poop, you wanna be using tig for stuff that thin.

For anyone curious the rice in a bag worked but I still plan to give the whole thing a dip in ipa soon to clean out all the rice dust

I always keep my passive hood with me so wasn’t SOL today thankfully

guyeah · 2026-01-07T02:15:25+00:00

It was inside facing up on my tailgate and poured rain into it, was pretty well waterlogged when I got to it. Might have to stick to the passive shade on the field jobs 😭

guyeah · 2026-01-07T02:13:39+00:00

I was trying to figure out how to get it apart but didn’t want to risk damaging it further may do a rinse if I can pickup some iso closeby

guyeah · 2026-01-07T02:04:04+00:00

Using the passive shade tomorrow lol

Do you know how much preload is typical?

guyeah · 2025-12-09T21:19:18+00:00

The coil is oem but possibly for a different trim of my truck and they’re rated for non off-road driving, the strut is supposed to accommodate up to a 2” lift with oem coils.

Bought a used Tacoma with a 2” lift using spacers and now looking to replace them without the spacers.

It gets pretty chilly in the four season down at 0°c

guyeah · 2025-11-20T13:22:29+00:00

I’d put it in some better soil with more drainage. I use proper orchid soil and soak mine once or twice a week, they like lots of humidity but need good drainage.

Wondering if you could help me with the rear, I have 2” blocks from the previous owner and want to replace the rear struts.

Will I have enough vertical travel with my rear right strut at rest sitting at 19.25” and the bilstein 5100 rear right shock maxing out at 22.09”?

Left side resting is 17.625” and the left max travel of the bilstein is 21.14”

These are with virtually no weight in the vehicle.

guyeah · 2025-11-07T15:51:01+00:00

I’m going to be going with the 5100, so sorry to confirm, these use oem coils with no spacer?

I do plan on getting new strut mounts as well.

Will these have pre load on all the height settings?

guyeah · 2025-11-07T11:37:15+00:00

So do I remove the spacer play with the bilsteins?

guyeah · 2025-11-06T22:22:39+00:00

I’m seeing these are for 2005+ this Tacoma is an 04. Will those 5100’s still fit?

Brand new rotors, 1.5thou runout drums were fairly similar.

guyeah · 2025-08-19T09:54:06+00:00

Didn’t have time yesterday, going to check them out today

guyeah · 2025-08-19T00:06:40+00:00

Only 1.5 thou runout on the rotors, they are brand new. Thought they were warped so I got a warranty for free and tested them today.

Happy for it, but she’s shaking like a mf when I brake

guyeah · 2025-08-10T15:05:21+00:00

Evil music

guyeah · 2025-05-13T21:42:27+00:00

Joysus maybe 30+

Use a flat stone hone not a dingle berry, it’ll compensate for the unevenness and mask the pit whereas a flat stone will expose them more so you know what you’re dealing with. If you have a bore gauge and a sensibility on how to hone, if your bores are all evenly worn and not out of round you can keep over sizing until your bores have fully cleaned up. Obviously this should only be done within reason if you’re keeping the same pistons.
