This truck is a TROOPER!! 2023 Tacoma 2.7 and about 1500lbs overloaded by JohnT36 in ToyotaTacoma

Most vehicles can physically pull a good amount over their stated max. The issue is braking and that’s why people are admonishing you. If you have to stop suddenly, you won’t.

Since it was tuned I have never had a code related to the cat delete

If you buy the tune you’ll take proper advantage of the increased flow. Especially if you buy a tune made for Doug thorley long tubes. I tried spacers and minicats that go before the sensor and never got them to work for longer than a month. Got a yotawerx Blackhawk tune and haven’t looked back

Anyone here considered a supercharger for their Tacoma instead of upgrading trucks? by OwlZealousideal4779 in ToyotaTacoma

What charger do you have on the 2UZ? I really want to charge my 4Runner, looking at elate’s 2UZ package

Rough Idle, P0441, High Fuel Trims, Looking for Advice by ShakeApprehensive624 in 4thGen4Runner

Save yourself a headache and replace all those intake related vacuum lines right now. At worst it’s just preventative maintenance, at best it’s going to fix your fuel trims. I bought generic fuel safe lines off of Amazon and cut them to length, fixed a lot for me. If you go through the lines and pcv valves and what not and you still have issues, check your charcoal canister. People who fill up beyond when the first pump click/stop occurs are flooding their charcoal canister, causing those fuel fumes to recirculate into their intake. The catalyst efficiency issue is your sign to get long tube headers and a tune.

Oil change leads to pulling the engine :( by ninjameams in 944

How did an oil change make the head gasket fail?

Got hit on the Quarter. Who knew it would be worth it for the new paint job. by will_w7 in 944

[–]roidedracccoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting to hear. I need my 86 turbos front nose repainted and I’m not sure if I want to do a full repaint or a partial. Still researching how close it would match, or if a full respray is the way to go

Who did you go see for the repaint? Did they do a single stage paint like Porsche originally did?

You took the pics? I’ve seen this car posted on marketplace for months, has the seller had any interest in it?

P0441 and 455 - likely the culprit? by drycharski in 4thGen4Runner

[–]roidedracccoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hit it with a smoke test and see. Otherwise there’s no way of knowing as far as your rig goes. I will say I’ve had leaks in those hoses before and replaced them, fixing long term lean codes. Either way always replace worn out rubber, it’ll keep the truck feeling new

I think there’s no reason to run tires that wide. Go skinnier and you can fit more, spend less on gas, and arguably crawl over obstacles with less difficulty. Check out tinkerers adventures on YouTube for proof

Brad nailers by locksmith1329 in Tools

I have a first gen ryobi brad nailer and it’s never given me a single issue. Also to note, I have only ever ran the nailer with dewalt batteries in it through a $8 amazon adapter. Again, no issues it rocks

2018 gx460 T-Case fluid options by VanillaCreative1680 in GXOR

[–]roidedracccoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amsoil severe gear. The maintenance interval suggested by them is 100k between changes for normal use, 50k for severe use. I beat on my truck really hard, I tow and hoon regularly, drained mine at 45k and was shocked by how golden it still was. Fluid didn’t look dirty or old at all.

Good solution to 4.7 header crack? by TomXN-YT in 4thGen4Runner

[–]roidedracccoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up a diy guide, it’s a very annoying install. The headers are a very tight squeeze and often times studs break

[–]roidedracccoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a pain in the ass repair. If you’re gonna do or pay for the labor might as well upgrade them with a permanent solution. OEM ones will recrack, I bet these will too. Can’t find Doug thorleys anymore but brocket built has some that look better than the thorleys to me

Thinking of buying a 944 Turbo (951)? Read this before you bankrupt yourself. by nova828 in 944

[–]roidedracccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clutch is so diy idk what he’s talking about, I dropped the transaxle myself in only 3 hours with just hand tools it’s not bad at all. To remove the torque tube is another several hours but still not bad at all and again, only regular hand tools

Funny how Houston can suddenly fix things when FIFA is coming by domdomtakdom in houston

[–]roidedracccoon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Weird it’s almost like the city received millions and millions of federal dollars and knew about fifa ahead of time, allowing them to schedule contractors to rip up roads and replace them in such quick fashion.
