SHOP TALK EP1:THE ONE W/ THE WEIRD SQUEAK // Changing the Tacoma Leaf Pack
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Welcome to Shop Talk! This series covers all of the happenings inside the X Overland Shop (or hangar). With so many truck builds to maintain, its never a dull moment. In this first episode, Tanner dives into replacing the rear leaf pack on the X Overland Toyota Tacoma as well as swaps out the transfer case fluid. There is also a mysterious squeak he hopes to find the root issue for but its not what he suspected it was. We hope you enjoy these 'quick bite' episodes and learn a thing or two from Tanner's quick tips. Thanks for watching and please subscribe! #xoverland #shoptalk #truckbuilds

Thank you for joining us for our new series! We will cover all things truck builds, gear, and filming in upcoming episodes. Stay tuned! #shoptalk
Would love to see you dive deep on payload, how to increase it, and the legal aspects of it! I know in Australia you can get a certified GVWR upgrade, not sure about in the USA though.
How much extra weight have you put onto the Tacoma? I'm sure the bumpers, sliders, skid plates, habitat, roof rack, and goose gear battery boxes inside have all added a LOT of weight.
good stuff thanks
You guys are awesome my wife and I love camping and seeing new places,after watching both seasons on Amazon we purchased a jeep and have done tons of upgrades and are planning a few mini overland adventures with our kids
Shop talk was great. Good job Tanner.
Thank you!
love the concept, can't wait for more.
Yay! Finally building up my 2018 Tacoma as well! Much more of a modest/lighter weight build, but will see how far I can take it until needing next level!
Awesome!
"The One With ... " Love the Friends throwback!
Just watching the recent shop talk 👍. Whilst during lockdown have been watching the earlier adventures. Was wondering if you thought about a few episodes with the old crew new vehicles retracing old adventures.
Yes, builds
Yeah! Can be a nice format - looking forward to more insights 😉
I love any video having to do with X3 Meridian! She's the reason I bought my own 2018 Tacoma and have been building it up to be a car camper / overlander. I recently installed the Icon RXT leaf pack (with the add-a-leaf) because I have a constant payload of 550lbs. Expedition loadout weight, not including myself, is north of 750lbs. Before the installation on an empty truck, I lost 2 inches of clearance and now I've gained an additional inch over stock ride height :) I haven't yet measured ride height with the new springs and a full expedition loadout
I gave my OME leafs away, imo they're a bandaid fix, especially for a build that heavy. Look at ATS Springs, I'm currently running a 3" lift spring with 600lb extra capacity in a 5 leaf pack, and it's better than the Dakars in every way. No squeek, actually holds up to the extra weight
Awesome, good to know!
I love the new content.
Keeping it real, rough, and informative.
Thank you!
Loved this! Cant wait to see more of them. Especially with the new 5th gen 4runner build around the corner.
Love this, been waiting for a continuation of your 'Proven' gear series and I'm looking forward to this. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
Shop Talk is such a great concept. Looking forward to more tips and tricks.
Thank you!
Shop talk! Love it 🤙-Josh
Thank you!
@@ExpeditionOverland 😁
This was great! It’d be helpful to more folks if it were done without pro level tools and lifts. 🙂
The UCA bushings are shot.
Cool stuff guys keep-em coming
Thank you!
I found it interesting. Also noticed you relocated the Tacoma badge.
How many miles does the taco have on it now? It would be interesting to hear how many miles you are able to get on your various aftermarket suspension components before the need rebuilt or replaced.
A group of us from Sheridan are doing the Morrison Jeep Trail later this year if you guys really want a challenge.
Awesome trail! We did that one in 2012 - North America season 0 👍🏼 Have a great time!
Good content...do a couple of these a week. Quick and dirty style.
Awesome! We are working on releasing at least one a week. Quick and dirty is the way to go for these for sure!
Holy totes batman!! I love it! hahah
😂 thank you!
Please look up the difference between an impact wrench (what you had in your hand) and an impact driver.
Love it!
Thank you!
No concern on the transfer case fluid not being to spec? Toyota says to use Toyota OE 75W LF fluid. Not sure exactly what is special about the T-case to require this very pricey oil but curious your opinion since you guys are tight with Toyota.
Was this filmed before or after the SOLO series and if after how did you get the truck back from Canada
Was shot recently and we had it shipped down on a flatbed to cross the border.
Sir Clay any Asian Country expeditions for upcoming years?
Did the steering rack replacement solve your squeaks?
That must be one heavy tacoma.
Over GVRW a lot??
I wish Tanner would do maintenance for me 😀
I almost forgot Toyota still uses rear drum brakes on these. Would think with as many folks modify these heavily they would do disc brakes.
Nice! This is OG XO, sans Jeff of course. Do you have the Taco lean still? I’ve got the Stage 6 Icon too with the Icon RXT leaf pack and my drivers side sits 3/4 to 1” lower, even when I don’t have a full tank of gas.
If your shocks (if you're talking about the front) are adjusted to match the ride height of the other side, then you gotta balance out the weight. I just put on the Icon RXT leaf pack on my 2018 Tacoma and my rear fenders are perfectly even because I keep more gear (approx. 50 pounds) on the passenger side of the truck whenever possible. Then again, is the Taco Lean really a problem besides a little bit of reduced clearance? I doubt most people are really gonna see that little of a difference
Are air bags just a different way to solve the same issue? If so are more leafs a better option? Great video
Air bags are great if your weight is changing frequently like when towing or using the truck to carry heavy things like concrete mix pallets. These trucks don't change a whole lot once they're built out so airbags aren't as necessary. Also airbags don't allow as much suspension travel which can be critical for safe offroading. Once you get your truck built out, you just need to dial in the right leaf springs and you're generally good to go.
That’s great information. Thank you.
I feel like if you are bottoming out the rear end of the truck its prob not designed for that weight, let alone more lol.
So you added two leaves to each dakar leaf pack?
The steering rack is making all that noise? How many miles on it and why is it blown?
What are you doing with the old packs?
Did i miss an update on how you got the Taco back from Kelowna during covid? Did you ship it?
We had to ship it back from Canada and it arrived around February of 2021. We did those updates on our instagram.
@@ExpeditionOverland I am now a follower on insta, my bad. God bless.
@@JamesBerkey no worries! Thanks for following!
What rust neutralizer do you use?
They said in the video "Por-15"
PLEASE bring Jeff back!
He is happily married and lives 2 hours away ;)
I want this truck!!! How much???
I could only wish!!! Someday tho....and we will call you to set it up for us too!! Love your work!!
@@vicfanwi It's probably over $80k
