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

Mine started leaking in Moab this spring, and I drove 300 miles back home, and for the next two weeks around town without issue. That was only a slight leak though, and I checked the gear oil level several times.

Also keep in mind your rear brakes won't work at all after being soaked in gear oil.

 

True, but look at the braces bolted to it, holding it to the leaf pack like an aal

 

I thought so too, but the clamp and rivet around the pack say different. I agree though, way thick.

 

Would it be over kill if this caliboy siped his goodyear wrangler kevlars? Only 18 a tire. ???

 

I'd say go for it, the only problem might be that those tires have a pretty complex tread pattern for an automated machine.....but who's got time for siping by hand

 

Iirc i think @Box Rocket had his done. I could be wrong. I do play alot in the winter.

 

Got my clear corners in today!

 

Maybe mines a brake seal then but I've been driving on it for over a thousand miles with no really odd sounds or anything

 

Im correct. But adam only did the center of his km2s

 

Les schwab bro

 

I play alot in the snow. I think ima do it

 

Finally finished rebuilding my hitch mounted winch.

 

alright so we've been heating and whacking the frame where the hook bent it and it just won't budge, any recommendations? not sure where to go at this point, might take it to a shop tomorrow if i cant figure anything out, we just don't have enough heat.

 

Can you thread a slide hammer into the screw hole and smash down on it while heating the shit out of it with a MAP torch? May have to just cut and reweld

 

thats not a bad idea but i don't have a slide hammer on hand, we've been heating it with a map torch and just whacking it with a big hammer, id cut and weld it myself but my welder blows.

 

Heh, mine sucks too which is a bummer because I love to weld.

 

yep, loved mine too, ran them for 15k miles with no issues. only reason i dont run them now is because they dont make the size i want. Discount tire mounted mine and balanced fine.

 

Anyone with trailgear sliders. How far apart are the tubes that run down the truck?

 

I have tg sliders, can check my build for pictures.

 

Got some new tires
