What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I also planned on doing "angry eyes" on the front in white, with the ambers behind. It's gonna look BA

 

Anybody know why trailer hitches are so damn expensive? I only want one so I can use a recovery hitch but don't justify paying more than $100 for one...

 

Hmm dang.. No I feel it man that's why I'm askin. Really don't want to have to pay to have my truck towed anywhere/repair shops etc..

 

Yea, I learned the smallest things like that does suck when they go out. Had a 98 blazer and the brakes went out all the sudden thankfully I was parking into a auto part store lol

 

Lol damn man where are you looking? You can get the whole think from tractor supply with a shackle already on and painted black for $40

 

Just a quick Google search haha

 

White iPad mini at half price. $10 vinyl wrap. I'd say the math adds up just fine

 

Do you have a local toyota junk yard. You can find one pretty cheap.

 

I'd be to lazy lol but yea that's a win. I always have bad luck with Apple products though

 

Lol damn!! That's crazy man. I guess I was wondering more along the lines of would my power steering just go out? (Still driveable but hard to steer) or would the shaft break out of the rack or something and make it undriveable.

 

Are you wanting like the towing package or the hitch with a ball on it?

 

Best play it safe then sorry man. Could be something like a o-ring that failed or worse. My first tacoma had a rack and Pinon steering was pretty cool to maneuver around Walmart like a little Ford or something lol

 

That's one thing I was gonna do

Just a hitch, I have no plans on pulling anything

 

I know people are going to think I'm crazy, but try some of this:

Amazingly enough it worked on my leaking rack with one bottle (they say up to two may be needed) It also stopped the rack from whining and made it sooooo smooth.
I figured it was snake oil but it was only $14 at Walmart, figured it was a cheap enough gamble and it paid off.

 

New water pump, both pulleys, thermostat, timing belt, A/C belt, power steering belt, alternator belt, and upper radiator hose. Still need to get a new alternator and change the tranny fluid. Got a bunch of dirt out of the radiator too in all the fins. Few weeks ago it got an oil change and air filter cleaned.

Overall it should feel like a new truck.

 

Lucas makes some great stuff. I put the transmission slip stuff in a automatic transmission when it's shifting rough and it fixes it.

 

Nice Lauren. Ready for MOAB again

 

Thanks!

And yep! Next month!

 

Try Walmart. I got one from there for 25
