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

washed & waxed truck, repainted & reinstalled rear bumper (built by me )
(how do you put the photos into this area so they're not thumbnails? )

 

Looks good man, if you download the Tapatalk app and use that its an easier way to upload pics from your phone

Give me that snorkel

 

Not sure but ive seen them in the junkyard here in vb several times with the previa badge so unless someone imports them and then junks them i assumed they were made here

 

Haha seriously

They are here. We had one for awhile when I was younger and it was white. I always thought it looked like an egg. Also the inside was pretty cool because the middle bucket seats would swivel so you could face backward! Pretty cool as a kid, almost as cool as the seats in the back of our Volvo haha

 

Video doesn't do it justice at all, windows are up

 

Lol Damn I bet that's so loud..

 

Used my taco to get me a new toy:

 

Jelly^

 

What type of grease are ya'll using when re-booting your axles. I bought a set of boots but they do not come with grease. Lucas Red n Tacky????? I have a bunch of this at home

 

Burger grease from Mickey Dees

 

Tried to reboot once.... never again

 

Micah!! come on man!!

I know its messy, but whatever. I want to keep my OEM CV's.

Gonna run an Import Direct Axle until these are re-booted and cleaned up

 

Those of you that trailer your first gen... Do you load it on the trailer in facing forward or backward? I'm trail wrong my extended cab out to our event next weekend and trying to figure out what the common practice is. It'll be on a 16' bumper pull trailer since I sold my gooseneck a year ago. I know it varies from trailer to trailer and truck to truck, but just looking for a general idea.

 

Loading it front end first would give some decent tongue weight, seems ideal to me But I've never trailered a vehicle.

 

Be the only van I'd drive. Just cause it's supercharged

 

Funny enough, that supercharger can be found pretty cheap at junkyards and can be mounted in place of your AC compressor (with some creativity). It has an electronically controlled clutch so you can mount a switch for it and turn your boost on and off. I looked into buying one from a local wrecker and mounting it on my truck because you can get manifolds and tubing that mounts to the output and have it go right through the throttle body. I don't think the flow would be sufficient for the V6 but the Previa 2.4L is similar enough in size to the 2RZ and 3RZ that it could work. The Previa's SC14 supercharger was made for Toyota by Ogura and is just slightly bigger than the SC12 that was made for the MR2.

Just some random food for thought.

 

Awww damn to bad for the v6. Be a pretty cool mod though lol

 

Would using a high lift jack (on sliders) to get jack stands underneath the truck work? When I move out I won't have access to a normal jack
