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

Lets see, what did I do today PACKED FOR MOAB!!!!!!

 

Washed, second coat of wax, scrubbed tires, checked all Fluid levels, washed windows, detailed interior.
Still waiting on parts to get rid of this Trailmaster, Mcphearson strut Sh!t.

 

Nice, ditch that trail disaster

 

Still waiting on the Total Chaos uca's, will be here this week.
With my work squedual will be updating suspension in about 10 days.
So excited to install all these new expensive parts!

 

Not today but put in an order for a nice ol chunk of change on suspension

 

I put a 2.4l radiator in mine. 3.4 motor. Been running same temp according to the gauge driving around in vegas heat and traffic. Just have to cut up the old fan cover and get a different hose. Look it up on pirate, whole thread on it

 

Let us know how that bpv works out. Looking to go to discs soon.

 

Just read the entire thread. So you have the 18" ? Is it level with the frame ? Did you use the gates 22120 hose

 

Yes and yes. I just drilled holes for the power steering lines but didn't trim the bottom so you can kind of see it but the radiator is flush with the bottom. Gates lined right up but tried the 2.4 hose first and it didn't work. Ordered the rad off of rock auto but make sure you get the right one, tranny cooler or no tranny cooler.

 

I think I'm gonna try to use my 20" radiator with that gates hose. I already built my entire bumper around the 22" lol

 

Yeah no reason to go smaller if yiu don't have to. The 2.4 is skinnier and shorter but I haven't had a problem with Temps yet. Could always add a fan if needed. Gates hose I got from o reillys I think.

 

Sweet. I'll try it out. Don't wanna over hear since I'm supercharged.

 

Is the radiator pretty easy to pull? I actually just need to lean the top back an inch or two to run some wires along that fender channel that runs next to the top of the radiator.

 

Very easy. Just tedious. Undo the 4 shroud bolts, undo all the hoses, undo the 4 bolts holding the radiator and then pull it out. Drain valve is on the very bottom.

 

Yeah, but I ended up cutting that piece out anyway. Fits like a glove now!

 

ya i think that it ended up munching my MAF sensor. I was having some problems with acceleration and weird engine roughness, cleaned the MAF sensor and the problem improved so i put in a new MAF sensor and a paper filter. it solved all the issues and haven't run into any other issues!

 

hmm ill have to try that, my truck is running strange too, there is no cel either. damn thing feels like it wants to fall on its face sometimes.

 

My truck knows I have extra money!!!! Went to get tires and the check engine light comes on now have to find out tomorrow for what????

 

Doesn't it seem to always happen like that?
