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

Yep, you have to clip vice grips to the fender wall and bend it out of the way. Also, you'll need to disconnect a bit of electrics on the passenger side and something else I forget what it is on the driver's side (maybe a hose holder or something?) This will require removing the battery.


Edit: Use the TC video for the second gen. It's essentially the same deal on a first gen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbsTJgb6S_c

 

I think its the abs wiring and a 10mm wiring loom bolt under the battery. Hmm okay well when I get the I'm going to install them in my driveway so hopefully nothing is seized!

 

I don't have ABS... but there is something that's needs disconnecting on the passenger side. Wiring loom? That sounds right... It was a loom. It held wires... it was probably a wiring loom!

 

AGAIN !??!

 

OoOoooooo somebody paid attention in chemistry class

 

I had to remove the SRS crash sensor if that what they called it.

 

Yup, it would appear so.

 

Chemistry or science?
I never took Chem, and the last science class I took (that I remember) was 8th grade.

 

I remember doing light spectrum stuff in chem, but I'm betting general science classes teach it also. Cuz like, how are rainbows made n stuff.

 

Smoke stack please!!!

 

Time to break the leafs down and clean them up too..damn.

No

 

I did a thing and got some 4K drone footage too... have a whole bunch more pics and footage from today but I'm too tired to edit it tonight.

Located the front/rear diff breathers as I know the prior owner relocated them but I couldn't find them.
If they were snakes, they would have struck me = right next to firewall above the vacuum booster for the master cylinder.

Yes, it was a DUH moment.

 

These pictures are great. Truck looks damn good on them rocks. And that footage is fantastic. I love and fear the capabilities of them drones.

 

Sliders are on they are looking great

 

Thanks, it was cool getting to play on the rocks. I forgot to grab my DSLR in the midst of grabbing all our other equipment so I used my point and shoot that I leave in the truck and it was surprisingly good. My roommate just bought the drone (DJI Phantom 3 Pro) and it is scary cool, we had it on auto follow mode for part of it and manual for part too. Thing even has a live 720p video feed to his phone. Have some GoPro footage too, but it isn't 4K...

 

It seems there aren't many "bad" cameras these days. There are definitely better ones, but even most cell phones have decent cameras for when you're on the go. As someone who is not into photography, but likes to mess around a little, the manual mode on my V10 is pretty cool.
Seems like a pretty high end drone, at least from the footage. And live 720P is very impressive. On the smaller screen size of a phone, regardless of resolution, 720P will look pretty good as a feed.

 

Is that with a lift? Blowing boots seems to be my biggest issue.

Also are these lifetime warranty? I forgot to ask.

 

You could do this...

 

A negligible amount of diff oil will spill out. I don't normally bother adding fluid. But it doesn't hurt to refill if you'd have more peace of mind by doing so.
