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

There are some pretty good videos on YouTube concerning rear wheel bearing replacements. You will need a special tool to use to help hold the backing plate while you press out the axle shaft. If you can find a diff housing for cheap, you can make this tool. Or you can take them to a shop to have the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in. If you have ABS, make sure to get the rear bearing set with the ABS ring. The collars and ABS are rarely salvageable when replacing the bearings. I think Low Range off-road has a bearingwith the ABS, lock collars, o-ring and seal.

 

Yeah we only run chevron in my family. Chevron, toyotas, and yamahas haha.

But yeah I drove pretty aggressive. Had extra power turned on to change shift points and hit 95mph on the 710 for at least 5 miles.

Still no engine light though. So I guess the money I had for the rear cat is going towards a new head unit haha.

 

Just install a lightbar. Haha.

 

old post, what was all needed with this, just the valve cover gasket? about to do it, making sure i have everything before i tear into it

 

I'm doing this also after the weekend. Looking for good info as well.

Side note. What I've done to my Tacoma today. Finally got my legit leds to finish my complete interior swap. (Old eBay ones I bought started to flicker a month after install. Went with super bright leds and vleds since super bright didn't have #74 bulb in natural white. Trying to finish in time to go to jump champs at Glen Helen today and watch some crazy people huck their rigs!

 

Drop axle on a piece of wood a few times and itl come right off most of the time.

 

Did some work. Brake pads, fixed my leaky cv, and fabbed a way to perm mount my CO2.

 

Hey guys...scored a set of 5 brand new mtr's. 33x12.5.....only problem is rims are15x10......should i keep the 15x10 rims or swap them over to my current rims 15x8

 

I don't see what the problem is

 

Wheels are wider. ..i dont want to rub

 

Rubbing is going depend on the backspacing. The wheel is still thinner then the tire so the tire will rub before anything else.

 

4.5 backspacing....maybe ill try them out for tomorrows wheeling trip

 

Yeah I figured the tires were going to likely rub either way

 

15x8 looks better in my opinion

 

Oh i know the rim wont rub....ah fuck it...ill just do a test run.....standby for pics

 

Finally took off the fugly Westin chrome bull bar she came with! Now to black out the chrome...

(If anyone wants a bull bar hit me up)

 

Here it is. 305 70 16

Thought i was in a 2500 and tried to pull out our party bus. She moved a little but it was a no go ahah
