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

Then you don't need to drill your banjo bolt. You're good to go.

 

Honestly how much we saved you doing the AAL at my place you still came out on top. By the way I have the steel for your rack. Once I figure out another day for you to come over i'll shot you a text. I need to finish my shock mounts first.

 

yeah for sure, do your stuff first. no rush on my end.

 

Hmmmm.

I bet its not a real post. Spammer probably.

 

I was on board until I saw it was a 4 banger

 

The V6 will pull a small trailer just fine. Mine's not a 416 but same size. I've got lots of miles with it behind the Tacoma

 

Bad camber is the one to avoid more.

 

I think my tires are just old. 30k out of a no name Mud terrain tire. I guess I shouldn't complain.

Thanks Adam!

 

Need help asap. How do you remove the headliner where it goes into the rear window trim

 

As westhumboldt said, scammer. I used to lurk CL all day, every day. I saw and reported innumerable scam posts. While this one has a passable description (I've seen them listed as vans seating 8 or as having the V8 option), that title alone is a sign, with all those equal signs and such. Also, the picture is really low quality, which is typical. And when you reverse image search it, it comes up from plenty of sites, not all of which claim it's even the same year.

 

Seems like the ad is fishing for suckers. Look at the background/vegetation. Colorado doesn't look anything like that.

 

I was always out of adjustment toe eats the tires faster than camber as it your tires are not straight, its dragging and eats up your tires while moving.

I find that anything without a phone number or a phone number that doesn't belong in that state is a scam. I can understand blocking the license plate as well but totally removed from the vehicle is also a scam and come on, where can you find a nice clean Toyota pre-tacoma or Tacoma for less than $5K?

 

So while trying to put on rear mud flaps I got from another TW member, 3 bolt heads snapped off.

These two snapped while loosening.

This one, when tightening.


I suppose if I can pry the nut off the bottom one, I can put a new bolt & nut on. I don't have a torch. Would a heat gun help? Haven't tried yet. As for the top ones, I haven't a clue. There's no getting at the backside of those, since the back isn't exposed. Any ideas on how to get these out?

 

I Gotta say I read through your build threads for both the Tacoma and land cruiser and they are both awesome, one of my favorite Tacomas on here and beautifully built land cruiser. My brother was looking at an 80 series and I've been trying to convince him to get it, those things are tanks.

 

Time to get a screw extractor set and don't get the cheap one from harbor freight. Try to find a nut and bolt supply shop for a quality set.

 

As well it would really make it easier if you buy a small tourch. You can get a butan one from places like bed bath and beyond of all places for $40. It will help free up that bolt.

 

maybe that's why I have such an issue selling shit on CL... I have an Oregon #
