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

Is that trd catback too expensive?

 

Why is this truck so slow? It must be at a high elevation because I could dust this Tacoma with my old turd.

 

Same. I thought my truck was slow but it seems like it blows this one away

 

Your putting chassis saver over another paint? It's made to be put right over the rust. That's where it's sticks best.

 

that guy must have got a dud... very slow.

if you let off the skinny pedal for about 1/4 sec at the shift it helps greatly on shift speed. times improve as well. that was (even for the A340) a very slow tranny.

I am not supercharged, but compared to mine that was snail like.

Yaaaaas! I know a guy that did that .......sounds like a build thread in the making!!!!! #finally

 

What's a build thread?

 

Just finished up pressing in new UBJ for both sides. Trickiest part was pressing the ball joints in straight. Both sides began pressing in unevenly but pressed into place in the end. There was one tube in the ball joint press kit that had a taper on it, so I used that to straighten them out before switching to another tube for the final press, if that makes sense.

These first two are of the UBJ coming out. I had to use an axle nut socket to fit because none of the ball joint tubes fit correctly. Too small or too big.




Here it is going in. I used a wrench to spread out the pressure more evenly. Again they were a bit tricky to press straight.



Previously replaced the passenger outer tie rod and steering rack guide. Seems much quieter from the limited miles I've put on it since all the parts were installed.

I still have a thud/clunk/nock sound from the front end, but I saw a blown up sway bar link that needs replacing. Maybe that?

 

This is on 32s with stock 3.91 gears. About 10secs. When it was on 235s it was quite a bit quicker.

 

well damn. did you click on it? should take you to photobucket.

 

That's about negative

 

well. picture me pulling out on a road. stopping, flooring the truck, my open diff at the time slips tire a little, various vrooming engine noises are taking place at this time. about 10 secs later the speedo hits 100km/h, vrooming noises lessen at this point.
