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

different between the elocker,8.4,and 8" axles i think. you notice other slight differences in the housing itself if you look closely.

 

Put bedliner on the inside of my 6" glassworks fiberglass.



And put in a walbro 255lph fuel pump. Don't know why it's loud. I can hear it in the cab.

 

^^^^ Awesome. I had my glass Line-X.

 

Nope. Pre '03 was all above the springs. '03s and 04s had that below the spring setup. Might have switched midway through '02 IIRC.

 

I see. Was thinking it was moved to make room for the locker actuator/mounts.

 

I refilled mine with rainbows and sparkles.



It broke.

 

I tore the boot on one of my cv's a couple months ago and never really got around to fixing it (oops) I'm guessing that after driving around with no grease and water/sand getting in its probably not worth rebuilding.

What would you guys do? Parts store rebuilt cv's or new oem or something else? I don't wheel hard at least not yet, and most of the time I'm in 4x4 its because of deep sand not crawling

 

I got OEM ones 2 months ago been wheeling since then on and off. Have yet to tear it!

 

I do Advanced Autos because its life time warranty and to me it's not worth spending big bucks on OEM when I know I'm gonna rip the boots or break the axle anyways

 

This is my philosophy also haha

 

Or NAPA, lifetime warranty. Fuck the stealerships!

 

Basically its any auto parts store, I think they all do it tbh

 

Except for the Toyota specifications on OEM oil and air filter, spark plugs.... careful with "the free diagnostic".... the other day i printed out coupon "free a/c check up" so I dropped the car friday night and next day around 10 am they called me , " we runned the test a\c is good now , we fill up free on and is $112.00" .....really , so you just call me to let me know i got charged....LOL.... well an an-authorized charge was removed by the CS manager... they should call me to ask authorization before plug in freon on it.... so ohhh well , I got my A\C checked now $0.00.

 

Good.. most stealerships will try anything to get into your pockets!

 

$112 dollars when you can easily, and I mean easily, do it for $40 buying a charge can from wherever. Especially new cars the prices are ridiculous!

 

yeaph... crazy expensive for a little yaris 0.86 lbs of freon no leaks found.... in the other hand I'm still think 98- 00 are the best build generation... following the 03 the AC on mine is crazy cold.

 

My 95 pumps out the heat in the winter and a/c is ice cold even on the hottest days. Love it!

 

thanks !

I want one of those stickers!

 

I bought new parking/turn signal lights (I had LED's, but they kept blowing fuses). I've been researching the LED back up reverse light replacement bulbs that were on the truck when I bought it (one blew).....picture added. These lights were super bright, and I'd like to find them again!
And I purchased my amber LED light strips for inside the grille
