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

I just use the 'gravity method', only one-person needed, me.

I just take the cap off the MC, open the bleeder valve, place a short piece of clear tubing (of the appropriate inside diameter) over the 'nipple' and allow it to drip into a container, and keep an eye on it. When the bubbles stop, I'm done.

 

Still snowing as we speak. We didnt have much snow untill now. Feb was all high temps

 

Yep. I have heard of people in colder climates where they salt the roads having issues, I so far haven't.

 

Time for a new battery terminal maybe? Almost snapped in half when I went to put in my new battery.

 

Na just some sand paper, wd40 and duct tape will do the trick.

 

These Toyotas never cease to amaze. Weighed in at 3800lbs (minus boulders and two bodies). That's 4x4, turbo, 32" tires, and front LT. 310whp in a 3800lb truck, incredible to actually know your vehicles weight. Beat the crap out of a Raptor any day!





Still waiting to do the rear and put 35" shoes on her.

 

Don't forget JB Weld!

 

Looked for sheds today. Got a little dirty after I just washed it! Oh well

 

Absolutely! And infuse it with some bare copper wire!

 

Just fix it with some bailing wire...

 

Shed hunting is one of my favorite things to do..
I miss hunting up in Alberta, here's some of my collection...

Nice truck BTW

 

Anybody have issues with the drivers side front window coming off track?
A few months back my window would hit a spot when rolling up that would slow it down and try to bind but it always rolled up.
A few weeks ago something came loose in the door and the rough spot went away, window rolled up perfectly.
Today when I let my dad drive my truck whenever you try to roll up the window it goes off track on the front side but you can keep pressure on it from the outside and it rolls up fine.

Any thoughts?

 

So I tried messing with my locker more this weekend and I can't get any power to it. When I press the switch the locker light flashes. But none of the wires going to the locker are getting power. I cant figure out why none of the wires going to the locker are getting any power. I have done the grey wire mod, If done wrong would it prevent power to the locker??? I don't know what I could have done wrong with it, its done just like its suppose to.

So anyone know why im not getting any power to the locker??

 

That seems weird. I guess take the door panel off and roll it up and down and see what happens.

 

My FIL has a 2001 that just started doing that. Good rolls down and continues to run once it gets down. Then seems to come off track when going back up. I would say it will be easy to address if you just pop the door panel off. Might be something small, I'll report back when we look at my fil's truck

 

something similar happen to my wife's Honda. Swapped out the actuator track thing. Greased up the window seals and it kept doing it. Finally figured out it was the door seal itself, I replaced it and worked great after.

 

Thanks for the input guys, I've got family coming in from out of state who have an auto body shop, I'll ask them about it this weekend even though I won't have my truck.

 

i'll play! towed 5 logs of 4,320 lb total log weight (ie; not including trailer) to get sawn into rough cut lumber for a project... and after that a royal purple powered tranny drain and refill with an engine oil&filter change... sorry no pics... i left my phone at the house by accident this morning and it is (currently) my only camera
edit; trailer is just under 880lbs empty

 

and on sunday; 1/4 million miles

 

That's awesome man I just love being in the mountains in pure silence! Saw two herds of elk with only one spike and a couple nice bucks! No sheds today though! I have some deer but mostly hunt elk because I don't always draw a buck tag but I love it and thank you I'm proud of this truck! It's the hunting buggy!
