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

Just finished my custom built bed rack

 

Step side

 

Love it or hate it I love mine

 

It gets a lot of looks

 

I ended up ordering 80w-90 Motorcraft oil on Amazon. I should have looked in my manual Toyota claims 80w-90 is fine. Eaton does not recommend synthetic oil or oil with limited slip additives with a True Trac.

 

Yeah I think it's a connection error now, bought a new motor just in case from Autozone and it worked but then I realized I have to tap for the screws to go into the new motor. So I plugged the old one on with out any weight on it and it worked.

So I think it's the switch. That's what I'm gonna dig into now

 

Yup I'll need a new switch

 

Damn, Josh!

Good catch!

 

Ha thanks, fucking sucks because it's either a $140 or $280 replacement -___-

 

That a shitty deal, man. Glad you found it, but that sucks.

 

Anybody have issues with the cvj boots? Im rubbing on the coilover now.

 

Found that it's the $140 one so that's good. But I bet dealership won't have it not to mention it'll be more expensive. Just hope I can get my damn window up for the week

 

not shown but ext wheel studs installed on front.

 

It took a long time but after a couple hours I finally buffed this scratch out. See arrow

 

things got a little tight and you might notice something missing...

 

new shoes!

Procomp 7069 16x8, and decided to try the Procomp extreme MT2 285s. They look a little too big to me, but they ride great and did great in the mud yesterday

 

Details?

 

removed factory bedliner. got some surface rust to sand and prime. with any luck luck I'll get a liner sprayed in next weekend.

 

Fine grit dirt and a 360degree motion

 

Eaton loosened it's mineral gear oil requirement on Tru-trac's last year to : Any quality GL5 gear oil syn or conventional with no FM or additives.
It's believed among some people, myself included, that Eaton never tested their unit's Cof with synthetic and therefore couldn't recommend it.
I myself have over 40K in my front tru-trac running Redline syn 75-90. Since I run manual hubs I estimate 5k miles on the unit with reliable strong engagements and no clunks or other noise fwiw.
