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

This. The bleeder has to be at the top of the caliper otherwise it won't, uh, bleed.

 

Might grab the whole thing tomorrow. I'll post it on the marketplace if I don't decide to keep it

 

Tire has plenty of room actually. Just the table that is an issue.

Yeah I probably with. Idgaf right now though.

 

Ok so I'm in the middle of doing my Tundra brakes with the LCE Tundra brake lines. Am I crazy or did LCE only include 3 brake lines? Dont understand what the other one is for.

 

You only have one rear brake line.

 

Oh the other one is for the rear brakes. Okay that makes sense. thanks!

 

Looks kind of short though. Most get ones 19-24" long if you plan on nice rear suspension. Front range offroad has a great deal on there. And it's long

 

Xmas Yota led lights. Lovin’ Christmas

New tire mounted!

No, my interior is gray. Tan would probably be the best choice.

 

How'd you black it out? Did you take it out and paint?

 

That looks great! How'd you secure it to the truck?

 

really digging those rock lights.

also,.... ZERO lights on the house

 

Bring a bottle jack with you and some short 4x4 sections of wood. Support the bottle jack with a wood platform to so it doesn't sink into the ground and also use the wood as an extension. Get the bottle jack and a section of 4x4 under the oil pan of the engine supporting the weight of the engine. Next disconnect the driver side motor mount. See the video below on how to do this. Now jack up the engine high enough so the the flange of the differential will clear the bell housing of the transmission. I'd disconnect the trans mount too to get even more movement out of the drivetrain. Good luck!

Actually in person. It's pretty cool. Fits decently. The rear part flairs out from the bed side but only like 3/8".

Not bad for something 20-30years old

 

I had to pull the mounts and add tube off mine to get the damn thing out, mostly out of frustration and knowing it needed to be moved to my other diff anyway.

 

Shouldn't need to jack up the tranny. Just takes some twisting. I've never had to remove anything off my diff to get it in and out.

Easy? No.

If you can't lift the whole diff by yourself. Then you will struggle a lot to get it out.

 

Link to those Moog sway bar disconnects?

 

Yup. The bed size is my only complaint about the Wildernest.

My GF barely tolerates sleeping in a queen size bed.

 

We switched to a king. So nice.

But yes. The bed is very small. Think it would be okay for a night or two..for two weeks. Idk about that
