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

Next on the list... Replace tranny oil that's never been changed..... 212k 2.7 manual

 

I installed a used addicted offroad 4Runner bumper and new amber turn signals. I had to build a custom crossmember to properly secure it to the frame. I refinished it with POR15 system and finished it with 3 coats of the POR top coat.

 

Hello fellow Washingtonian! Nice rig! What HID kit did you go with! Pain to install? Nice bumper too!

 

So diagnosing what I want to do to my truck today. need a new door part, but need help. I am looking for the part number for the steel rod inside the door that goes from interior handle to lock mechanism(driver side). my haynes manual calls it "control link" but stuff online is annoying me and cant find it, toyota dealer is 20+ miles away, any help appreciated

 

So much win in that truck!

DC, red, Ray10s, color match grill... Damn!

 

Looks awesome! Addicted offroad FTMFW.

 

I can't help, but the rep with camelback might be able to. He answers in their thread regularly.

 

That Wildernest looks sick! Is that a new canvas, looks super clean from the pictures (IG)? Obviously the shell looks to have been repainted at the very least.

 

No it's the original one I believe. It's definitely dirty and has a little mold and a couple small tears but for being at least 22 years old the things in amazing condition. He got it for a steal and has really only cleaned the tent material.

 

Damn, I accidentally drove my truck in 4-wheel drive for about 3 miles at about 70 miles per hour. Oops

So far so good

 

For those of you who have replaced your sway bar bushings, did you have to completely remove the bar or can the 2 brackets just be unbolted and the new bushings swapped in?

Thx!

 

You can leave the bar in place.

However why not replace the end link bushings while you're at it?

 

thanks.

2002 - dont believe there are end link bushings to replace -

 

Pulled a stalled out E-150 van from the passing lane of Interstate 95. The 01 regular cab 2.7L 4x4 did great. It felt awesome to clear a traffic jam.

 

There should be bushings on either side of the sway bar where the end link bolts through.

 

You can got however fast your truck can go in 4WD.

As long as you shift between 2 and 4 below 50.

I've driven miles on end at highway speeds in 4wd.

 

Just remove the sway bar all together and never put it back on

 

Thanks, really like the way the wheels look with the red!

Hopefully its just you lol!! There are more parts to the bumper that aren't pictured and I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking at it to see how it mounts and everything yet but i'm assuming its all there!

OME dakars. Shackle angle should change a little once i get rear bumper on, spare tire mounted, bed rack built and installed with the tent etc. And i'd imagine the springs will settle a little bit but i dont think it will be substantial.

Thanks!

 

Bit the bullet and bought a real mount for my Pixel XL. The old one (green) flopped around like a fish. No bueno for rough roads.


Envy me!!!!!

 

I did mine with Redline MT90. I also changed the seat and socket for the shifter with the Marlin Crawler parts. It felt like a brand new truck. Shifting was super smooth.
