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

PVC reservoir mod is easy and cheap

 

The things we will endure to run big tars.

 

How much was the supercharger?

 

Got this today.

 

Awesome. What company makes that? Never saw one before.

 

Mine was like that too, all I had to do was put in new rack guide bushings (under that large cap on the rack) and the play was gone. It was only $50 and I get to keep my otherwise perfect OEM rack. If you want to make sure it's the rack guide you can remove the drivers side bellow and see if the shaft has verticle play when the wheels are off the ground.

 

I wondered if that might be the case. Mine is not OEM, and it's...not leaking either, so it would be nice to just run it until it does..
Do you have a write up on it? Maybe it's just needs snugged up?

 

I don't have a write up on it but if you have a huge pair of channel locks and a threaded rod coupler from Home depot then you can snug up yours. The channel locks are used to loosen the jamb nut and then you put the threaded Rob coupler in the cap and use a 24mm socket on the other side of the coupler. I converted to the new style solid bushing that 2001-2004 tacos use because my roller bushing had too much wear for snugging up to work.

 

I have those items. I may take a look at it this weekend. Thanks!.

 

Nada problemo BTW The headlights I got are great after a proper alignment.

 

Alright guys I need some help. I started up my truck yesterday and it began to make a horrendous knocking and pinging sound as if something was rattling around within the engine. The whole truck was also shaking like crazy. I called for a tow and they took it to a shop, where they later found that one of the spark plugs had broken off into the cylinder. They used a scope to try and see the debris within the cylinder but didn't see anything. Not sure where to go from here, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Bumpin

 

The brand is Ontop tents. It was bought out by roost rooftop tents.

 

Google dude. From what I can see a set is probably close to 300 with shipping so yeah i would say 150 is reasonable.

 

Did google dude. I was just trying to get some confirmation dude.

 

haha Im just messing with you. More then likely thats what 99% of the people on here would have done. Don't think its very common for anyone here to be selling barely used dorman leaf packs, so a conformation is not very likley.

 

Meh, I'll give em a whirl in the marketplace thing tomorrow. I don't have a use for em ATM.

 

Id just let them go for $100. Theyre used cheap oem reps after all.
