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

I was just parking it there for a customer to come get after we closed.

 

Sounds pretty sweet. I'd like to do a high compression al motor 2.7 whenever mine eventually blows out a hg/ring/ or whatever goes

 

Jeez I think I've been using truck stuff shopping as a coping tool for my genuine frustration with school.
So far these last few month I've bought
-Rat prod skids plates
-Rigid pods
-2 wiring harnesses
-Bamf lca skids
-Bamf bvp bracket
-ebc brakes
-camburg uca's
And now I just grabbed a redline hood lift kit. I may have a problem. Or It might be time for a Build thread maybe come summer time

 

You caught the mod bug. It was only a matter of time

 

Damn good list too! May as well start a build

 

Probably true lol It was on delay cause I was broke when I first discovered TW

 

No shame, Brutha.

My front bumper is zip-tied tight to the mounting points so it doesn't move around so much.

 

So I searched a little bit and found some things but I still have some questions. I don't know if my rear diff has ever had the fluid changed, I haven't changed it in all the time I've had it (about 22k). I figure I need to do it but have read that if it hadn't been changed its better not to at all?

 

Who did you hear that from?

 

Haha, glad to see I'm not alone. I've been putting off fixing it for real for months.

 

In the case of the rear diff, I see no way possible new fluid would hurt anything. I wouldn't hesitate to change it.

 

Just reading stuff awhile ago.

perfect thanks.

 

I have no idea where you read that but I'm nearly 100% positive that is ridiculous.

Definitely change your rear diff fluid. Especially if it looks bad.

 

I've put about $10000 into my truck the last 4 months. Pretty much right after I joined TW

 

I don't know what it looks like, I don't even know how to do it... Off to the internet I guess

 

Easy.

Like with changing any fluid, TAKE THE FILL PLUG OFF FIRST! then drain and refill.

 

I actually knew that part. Ha

 

AM I reading that right?... $10,000 in 4 months!

 

Then you good.

75w90 fluid, dont worry about any additives because our trucks don't have LSDs in the rear.

 

How much of it?
