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

It was coming out of a red wire. Wish i woulda snapped a pic. Im going to say yes.


Someone asked if the fuse was in the controller line. No. Its in the solenoid

 

Ideally this is the direction I'll go when I remove the ABS BS. Biggest I'd probably go is the CKMA-12 though, this is my back up air supply if my CO2 runs out or for locker actuation only. I don't need the speed or power a dual has.

Ideally I want to get a BSP to NPT conversion fitting so I can run the current hoses I have for the co2. I don't want multiple hoses.

 

Whats a bsp and npt? True question..lol

BSP is what ARB uses for the air output holes because Aussie is life. NPT is what's used in the US for most air fittings. Funny thing is that ARB uses NPT for the air filter intake.

Super stoked to use it! I was always the guy everyone was waiting on to finish airing up...

 

Ahahaha thats alright, at least its not the superflow mv50...I'm talking like 30 min fill ups...

 

Honestly. Deleting the abs is something ive thought of multiple times but I could never get rid of cruise!! I use it too much lol

 

All of the trucks are looking good! Been loving my truck I bought in February. Small mods include tint with 18% SunTek Carbon front driver and passenger doors and same film on the rear doors and back glass over stock tint, and did a 5% strip on the windshield. Great visibility, not too dark at night. I also installed a black shorty antenna. I recently removed the mudflaps (which I kept in storage) and installed LED license plate lights. I also chopped the tailpipe at the bend which made it dump over the rear axle for a nice hidden look and increased rear clearance. I also sprayed the rear axle with semi-flat black to get it looking new again, I really recommend using semi-flat or semi-satin for undercarriage touch-ups it looks perfect for the task in my opinion. Stoked on this thing, especially with how well it does on the beach!

 

Fuck it! Lol

 

Need some help, found the oil leak, how would I fix this? jb weld? Is it possible to weld it somehow? kinda afraid to pick at it or anything before knowing how to fix it.

 

That looks like it's been seeping from higher up for a long time. Possibly the rear main seal.

 

Installed new OEM style exhaust, premium load cat both from Bosal and Denso O2 sensors.

 

all around the pan is clean theres a very very minor leak on the passenger side by the pan gasket but it isn't reaching the bottom. Im not sure what you mean by the rear main seal?

 

The rear main seal is what the crank shaft spins in. The oil pan helps seal it as well. Used to go out in 22re's every 200k. haha

 

Does anyone know a way to put on an aftermarket muffler without having to weld the clip on. I don't want to weld the clip back on.

 

Ohh I see, there is a very small amount of oil coming out near the front main but the back is totally dry. I ordered a pan gasket thinking it was leaking around the pan originally then I cleaned everything up again and found that rust spot.

Also I checked the oil yesterday and it was just above low which I assumed to be ok (was within the hatch marks) for at least a couple days until I can get oil, then today I go to start it and get a knocking at idle but not when I'm on the throttle (parked the whole time), I assumed the motor was fucked again.. It was reminiscent of the knocking when my con rod bearing went out 2 years ago.. then I go to start it again a few mins ago after adding a quart of oil, still knocking a little bit at idle, I drove it up and down the road through various rpms and don't hear anything at all, nothing out of the ordinary, the quart of oil brought it up to the F too. What's going on here? Is it possible that it can knock with just low oil and then go away? I was really confused and genuinely expected my motor to be toast, I guess it still could be, I'm not sure.

 

Ohhhh

That is brutal.

 

I'd never use a cork gasket the. FIPG is the way to go. Toyota makes great FIPG.

Low oil can spin rod bearings causing knock.
