    Goodyear DuraTrac long term review

    I've very happy with how my DuraTracs have performed over the last 25,000 miles and thought I would do a blog on them. Instead of rewiting it I thought I just would post a link to it. http://www.augiesadventures.com/goodyear-wrangler-duratrac-long-term-review/#more-350

    TRD or clean slate

    :coffeedrink: Since I'm moving really close to work, like 2 miles, I no longer need the commuter passat. Problem is I'm upside down in the payments and I got to thinking if I traded it in on a new tacoma and sold the 95 tacoma, I could go down to one vehicle and build a new truck. Really...

    New wheels or spacers?

    So, I tried to install a set of Tundra calibers and rotors on my 1st gen tacoma and it did not go well. I attempted to grind down enough of the caliper body to make them fit and it worked for about a month then brake fluid began to seep out of the caliper. Metal just too thin. (dumb move i...

    While on a hunting trip last month the power steering pump began that wondrful whine I love so much. I added some lucas PS fluid. It tampered the sound but did not stop it. I ordered a new pump but have not put it on yet. It was then that I realized, I had replaced the pump exactly one year...

    Tacoma power steering pump

    This weekend while out running around, I noticed that the pump is beginning to whine like a jeep power steering pump and at times it feels like it the steering gets a little stiff. At 171,000 miles I guess it is time for another power steering pump? What has been everyone's experience with the...

    So if all goes well, I will be installing the OME suspension on the 1st gen Tacoma this weekend, but I was thinking with the age and 163,000 miles on the all orginal truck, that maybe I should replace some of the other parts on the frontend while it is apart. From all of your all's experiences...
