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

You can also get them from McMaster-Carr for half the price. P/N 95735A635

 

Thanks! I called my dealer and he has 90119-10933 listed as a green flange 10.9 bolt that works for my VIN if anyone is interested in that route. McMaster-Carr would be my choice. The 10.9 have a 150,000 psi tensile strength, which is the same as what MMC is offering. Can't beat a 10 pack at $6.15 so you have a couple spares!

 

I second this, had one go out with 30k on it.

 

Swapped out a few thousand miles ago to this

Feels fantastic so far, I'd recommend it.

 

Very easy.

Remove the fill plug first, then remove the drain plug. Empty the gearbox of the old fluid, replace the drain plug (maybe the washer while your at it), fill the gearbox up with the new fluid, replace fill plug.

 

Anyone know anything about luk clutches? Can get one for a pretty good price with a 3 year warranty but is it something that is going to last?

 

May be tore up but at least looks good on the trailer

 

How many miles do you have on your OEM?

 

I had 174k on my oem before it went out and I replaced it with a duralast and It just went out today at 200k miles

 

I'm not a mathematician or a mechanical expert, but I'm pretty sure I can figure out what clutch to go with next.

 

I have 250k on my OEM, but it's not a great feeling clutch even when new. It's mushy and undefined, I suppose it's nice for traffic because it takes zero effort to use. But it sucks for wheeling, the clamping feels like it takes time to set in. So replacement with something more firm is understandable, but yeah the Aisin clutch they come with does seem to last.

 

Marlin crawler kit is calling your name.

 

Wrapped up the passenger side fender and buttoned up lights and bumper.

 

Went to Discount Tire today for a free rotate and balance. ..............
After they were finished the counter guy tells all 4 tires were way low on air, 28psi.
Tried to tell me I should be running them around 40psi. Ummm Rugged Trail BFG factory size and model it came with. Door sticker says 28psi.
I mentioned that to this certified tire lumper and he wanted to argue with me. Sorry buddy Toyota would know better then you. Handed my keys back to him and said 28psi please.

 

Speak to me more detail about such seat and socket lol,
Im a bit confused which color to order for 2002 3.4L

Putting in redline mt90 at the moment

 

Replaced rear mudguards with bigger ones from Amazon (since with bigger tires factory mudguards look awfully offset)
Used factory metal supports with some modification

 

I believe the seat is the white one (MCTM-522), and the socket is MCTM-532.

When I removed my shifter, the original seat was no longer there, and the socket at the end of the shifter was mangled. Taking apart, it was easy. Putting everything back together was a bitch. That was because the lock ring/cap thing-a-ma-jig was tough to put in. You have to push down and turn to catch a pin into the slot of the lock ring. With a spring and the new parts, I had a hard time catching the pin. The force I had to use to push down made it hard for me to turn. If I let up on the pressure so that I could turn it, the slot was not lined up to the pin. I saw online guys had to make a tool to do theirs. I just ended up filing the slot a hair, and was able to install it back together. That was ~20k miles ago. No problems. The shifter still feels good.

Here's a video that explains it. The ring I am talking about is around 0:40.

It's not worth starting a new thread and I'm not around my truck ATM..

 

So go online and look it up? Only difference is elocker axle or open axle. Only one size for each axle.

You could figure this out in about 5 mins on Google.

 

No. IIRC all 6 lugs have the bigger drums, and the 5 lugs have the smaller ones.
