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

yep, just a quick weld!

 

I'm wondering if a pinch of JB Weld would work since I don't have a welder.

 

It might work for a while but I wouldn't trust my life with it lol. Might be worth a try.. If you remove it and take it to a muffler shop or something they would probably tac weld it for a couple bucks though.

 

Ordered inner and outer tie rods today. From Toyota.
Damn things didn't make it a year. Rack seems fine though, no leaks and no play in the shaft, yet.

 

Installed some king coilovers the front floats like a cloud now. Got a bit of the bro lean at the moment. Will repack the leafs and install some new rear shocks next week. Cant decide if ome nitrochargers or just go all out and put kings on the rear.

 

Got my skid today from RAT Products


Painted and primed



Mounted it. Going wheeling this weekend so it'll get used!

Also check engine light came on threw P0440, just the gas cap I think. Have to look at it more after this weekend. Any suggestions

 

Bro get rid of that tag or put a bulldog chomping him lol

 

Nah it's the only thing that adds value to my truck your tag would bring it down

 

What did you have on there? I've usually had good luck with Moogs

 

The power steering pump was warrantied out.

Got my AC belt back on.

Put the used (70,000 miles) fan bracket assembly on.

Oil change.

Now I have a bit of seepage from my head gasket and the steering rack is seeping too. The latter might be able to be warrantied out.

 

That's a good question. The outer tie rods are actually fine, they are Moog, just getting spares. OEM from Toyota was only $55.00 each.
The inner ones are shot, lots of in and out play. Those bastards were pricey at $155.00 each, but they seem to play an important roll in accident prevention, as well as alignment, so I figured best to go back with original. I'll have to call my mechanic tomorrow and see what brand of rack he used when he replaced it a year ago. The rack itself seems fine so far.

 

Got the new rubber mounted, these things are heavy.

 

Truck looks so good

 

That's so nice

 

My truck normally idles between 600-700 rpms when fully warmed up (3.4) but for the past few weeks it doesn't drop rpms that low.
No matter how long it idles it wont drop much below 1000 rpm, whats wrong with it? No engine codes

 

Dirty TB maybe ? I dunno pull your negative terminal and see if it goes back

 

X2 reset it. Also make sure the throttle cable moves like it's suppose too

 

Mine was doing the exact same thing. Ended up being a bad throttle position sensor.

 

Trd center cap mod... I need some 285's

 

Had to rebuild my DS rear bellcrank today.. Water musta got into the boot and it was pretty rusty and seized in there, little sanding and some lube and it's workin fine now
