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

I need to replace the rear trans mount on my 5 speed v6 Tacoma - anyone have experience/reviews using "Anchor" brand replacements? Other options are OEM for $180ish or trail-gear for $240ish. Anchor part is $60... (Canadian local prices)

Also I believe I'm fine replacing just the rear mount and leaving the motor mounts for now, although if I could get all of them in a set that might be nice. Not too worried about poly mounts for performance but if the price is right that might be a good route to go?

 

Gave it a quickie wash and wax....maybe put it up for sale.

 

Left all the windows down in the poor thing. Rained overnight so hard there's literally a big puddle in the floor mats. I hope my expensive amps and speakers are alright

 

When to a car meet the other day and got to work out the suspension a little for some pictures.

 

Dudes lancer has good taste in halos. And lol @ the FJs flex, you tried.

 

I gotta admit I like that headache rack...usually not a fan of them on these trucks but that one looks pretty good! Custom I'm guessing?

 

Thanks! And it's not a one off, but it is custom made to fit our trucks perfectly. I got it online from Spyder Industries.

 

Swapping to commuter tires

School starts tomorrow and I wasn't able to find a reliable DD so the ole girl has to put her highway shoes on.

 

Definitely no clearance issues Gonna be pinging that redline again with the gears

 

You gotta post a picture of that!

 

picked up a set of bud built skids off of craigslist for a deal

 

Im so sad right now.
Before



After

Im pretty sureI could LT this thing with these without issue lol

We must be pretty priviledged with out 35"s because this just looks terrible now

 

Doesn't look that bad!

 

Us pizza cutter owners kinda like that look. You won't be shunned.

 

Ill get over lol there are worse things in life. And their names are physics and calculus.

Also anyone know what psi i should store my mtrs at? I know I need to air them down but they shouldnt be completely flat right?

 

i just drove to oregon with mine and noticed the same thing but it was my 4x4 shifter. i recently changed all the fluids and used royal purple oils and now my stck gets piping hot. never noticed this before.

 

Damn it the one week i dont check Craigslist for tacoma shit...of course lol

 

usually I miss out on all the deals, but not this time

 

It's here!

 

Alright I'm almost done with the maintenance I recently wanted to do before the cold weather:

New rotors, pads, & calipers
Bled and refilled all my brake fluid
Bled and refilled clutch fluid
Cleaned MAF sensor
Cleaned TB
New PCV valve & hose
Greased driveshaft
Spark plugs & wires
Changed gear lube in both diffs, trans, & t-case

I've got an appointment for a tire rotation on Thursday. Thinking about flushing/refilling power steering fluid. Should be fairly easy. I might replace the fuel filter before Winter as well. If not, I'll do it come Spring. The only big thing left would to get the 4WD working. I'd really like to have that for this Winter. I did fine last year, but it's always better to have it than not.
