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

So my ABS keeps kicking on like 1 in every 4 ornt stops I make and it's driving me crazy, especially wheb I'm not even cramming on the brakes. Anybody ever experience this?

 

Disable it and forget it. Probably a failing wheel speed sensor though, reading slow or fast so it seems like you are slipping

 

Any one here with knowledge with engines, I came across this https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2001-tacoma-overheating.496733/ @Diddyhahoo , a new member with some big problems.

 

Awesome!!

 

How would I disable it?

 

Having an issue here. Went to replace my fuel filter and decided to try a bosch one. The holes in neither end seem to be the correct size. Anyone ever used this filter? Am I missing something?

$15 77066WS Workshop Fuel Filter - Compatible with Select Hyundai Sonata, XG300; Lexus GS300, LS400, SC300, SC400; Toyota 4Runner, Pickup, T100, Tacoma, Tundra

77066WS bosch part. 2.7 1995

 

Filter different for 3.4 liter?

 

I believe it's different but I'm not for sure. About to have to order one for about $50 from the local dealership compared to the $11 I already paid for the bosch one. Was hoping maybe I missed something but not seeming likely.

 

Did some looking around. Turns out this is the filter for the v6 not the 4 cylinder. Seems to have been listed in the wrong section of rock auto. Oem would probably be better anyway.

 

Officially graduated!

 

Thanks! no I don't have a pic of output yet. I can say that using the 1-of-each method for spot/wide it's significantly brighter than my 35W projectors hibeam), same amount of throw and probably similar in width but everything becomes 5x brighter with the LEDs on.

 

Hell yeah, Zane!

Congrats, man!

 

You can buy the Wix one at Oreilkys, Autozone, etc.

Pretty sure they manufacture the OEM ones.

 

Now you get the money...then you get the women.

 

Get the money forget the women

 

Finished replacement of lower ball joints, upper ball joints, outer tie rods, lower shock bushings, upper shock bushings, sway bar with new bushings and touched up the frame, installed new 3 piece rat skid and fuel tank skid...

 

So you peak my curiosity on this one since they are local to me and I have noticed an increase vibration in my driveshaft, so I took it to Toyota and they recommended replace carrier and double Cardin...I left there and went to Woods... they will do our driveshafts but not two piece shafts like the existing in mine due to the likelihood of more vibration that what I am experiencing now since they can't balance that length of shaft.

 

Me too on the skids, minus the gas tank skid.

How was the install on that one? Likely gonna get it done tomorrow.







I also finally knocked out the diff breather relocation mod. Found a dealership that had the union and it took me no time at all.

Sorry about the sucktastic phone pics...

 

My only 2 complaints was if I wasnt on the lift I would have drilled the outside hole directly into my brake lines that line up above the existing hole I. The skid plate... so just double check it... I moved mine 1/4 over to inside re drilled in the plate and all good...I did have to beat out the outside edge with a crescent and a ball pean so it wouldn't rub on two parts of the strap and tank... but really happy with end product. Looks clean

 

Thanks!
