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

There are probably 20 write ups on here on the mod haha

Its well worth it though

 

I've done a couple things to the Taco in the past couple weeks.

Blew out a shock so I put on a new one.



Had a wheel bearing go bad so I put in a new one.





That did not go as planned and I'm not sure what happened; took everything back apart and the new bearing is TRASHED. MY first guess is assembly error on my part.

 

Don't you need like a 20 ton press to press the bearing out and new one in?

 

I’ll sell you a set of first gen steelies with the center caps for 60 bucks

 

That lower ball joint looks pretty rough, you know how many miles are on it?

 

looks like my moog after 2 winters

 

Brembo blanks and akebono pads is my current set up for the last 10k, it's been great. No problems, great performance.

For your codes, clean the MAF sensor and throttle body.

 

My dad filled my tank today so I put it to use.

 

Well this past week I changed the oil, finally did the diff breather mod (only had all the parts sitting in my garage for 4 months), got the tires rotated and balanced (solved my obnoxious shaking issue that I got at 65mph) and got some Tri-flow on the squeaky UCAs.

I located the diff breather into the taillight area and gave it plenty of slack. No more worrying about crossing creeks now.

 

Cool... it's like a fidget spinner for your engine.

 

For the diff breather mod, did you get a one-way breather or just a regular straight breather? I never got an answer to my question in that thread.

 

You are ridiculous!

 

Made a little bracket to mount my new lightbar

 

Lil sneak peak of the new kings

 

The sky was pretty crazy on the way home, I tried to keep it truck related. Dang cheapish cameras and low light.

 

Just purchased/got a new case of oem oil filters, oil, atf, wipers and some stuff for undercoating. Finally getting a break from work/school to catch up on a few things

 

Yep. I had it pressed in and out at a shop.



Lower ball joint is good. You must not live somewhere with rust. This is nothing.

 

Great Christmas spirit

 

New wheels and tires.

 

Check engine light come on for a po171 code, grr
