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

Yea there lots of people running tundra brakes on here and alot of other threads and forums have good info for writeups. The parts I have are as follows.
13WL calipers for a 2005 tundra as well as
Rotors and pads are all fit for same truck.

Callahan Brake Parts CCK11208 FRONT OE [2] Calipers + [2] Drilled/Slotted Rotors + Quiet Low Dust [4] Ceramic Pads Kit

-then I got wheelers offroad extended brake lines. Oem lines wont fit tundra calipers without modification. And a big thing to worry about is to make sure your rims have enough backspacing to clear the caliper.

 

Funny I was just telling my truck the same thing.....




Yes I talk to my truck sometimes.




Ok often.

 

If you don't want to spend the $40 on a BAMF mount this how I mounted mine, with the basic "3way mount" that came with my Coax cable and I bought a 90 degree bracket from home depot for about $1 and mounted it to the tailgate latch bracket.
It's held up to the 3,000 mile road trip I just went on with my firestik mounted.

 

Working on getting a dd so I can keep my head above water.

 

That's a good call, Mike. My truck has been in pieces in the garage for a month now, and there's no way I could get away with that without a DD.

 

Same here. Thats part of the reason why it hurt so bad buying the stuff for tundy brakes

 

Link to the headlights? All I can do are cheap mods till I get a real job....

 

How'd you know

 

Have you considered using roofing tar to seal that grommet?

We use roofing tar all the time to seal seams when rebuilding our Tacomas'. My last truck went 15 years and no leaks on the fire wall.

 

They were from ebay, the company is iPexmotoring.

The heading for the headlights reads:

1998 99 2000 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 4WD Black Headlights W/ Black Corner Signal Light
$117.98

 

Perfect thanks

 

+15HP thanks to @Ghost.
Now i just need some pnw trd bedsides and the octopus trd..

 

Alright guys, I've been trying to find a vibe in my front end FOREVER! I just went to get an alignment once again after work today to see if they can shake down my front end yet again to see if they can find a culprit.. Firestone confirmed the front end looks good to go, and they are blaming the vibes on a bad balance job, the thing is.. I've had these vibes for the entire time I've owned the truck. I've gotten the tires balanced a few times and this is my second set of tires since owning the truck and it doesn't seem to help.. So I got talking to the guy at Firestone and he's saying that aftermarket wheels could be the culprit.. Anyone heard of this?

 

Retiring the truck from dd status will be so nice though. My running list of shit to fix right now is rear axle seal/bearing, Regear to fix my spiders, power steering rack, power steering pump, and getting new wheels to get rid of the 2" wheel spacers. Afraid that was the reason the rear axle seal went. Well possibly bearing that made the axle seal go. Won't know till I dig into it.

 

Turn off the radio.....listen....is there a(or ANY, however so slight) grinding noise? My front end had a wobble that no-one could account for same as you. When I regeard I greased the ball joints (how I wish our s had zirks!) and everything is smoooooooooth again.

 

Anyone know any good led light bar/pod brands equivalent to the way overpriced rigid industries lol

 

My Totron cubes have been great. Three years with pretty damn cold winter and hot summers, no leaks and no leds out.

 

Cool I'll check it out. My brother got me a 42" curved light bar but idk what brand it is. But the light goes about 75-100 yards but it acts more like a flood light which is fine but it's like a disco ball.

 

How did you grease the ball joints? A syringe?
