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

Just jack it all the way up and let it down.

It was just low on fluid. Works great now, let's try this again.

 

I know some people have no love for Harbor Freight but you can get their 3 ton Pittsburgh jack for < $90 depending on sales, works great for me and a few others I know that have had one for a long time. They had them on sale for $75 last week at the one local to me.

 

I have the same one, doesn't go high enough to jack the truck a couple inches off the ground so I use a wooden foundation block to give it a few more inches. The Snap-On rip off Daytona jack goes way higher than their other ones.

Their transmission jack is absolutely imperative to have because you have side to side and up and down adjustments standard jacks don't have. I couldn't imagine doing this with a floor jack.

 

Put some newer ko2’s with procomp steel wheels on yesterday. Now I need different lugs and had to run a 5mm spacer in the front because the wheel hits the brake caliper when the lugs are tightened. I’ll probably end up getting wheel spacers today from work.

 

Man I love that second picture! You guys drove to mars!! That looks amazing!

 

That second pic is beautiful.

 

Getting close to finishing the rear bumper build.

 

Absolutely beautiful pics out there!

 

Rear kinda sagging

 

Just swapped in my 4600's ride height looks adjusted, probably due to the bad bushings on the stock suspension. Ride quality is def better because now when I hit a pothole or ride over railroad tracks the rear doesn't sway and take too long to recover.

 

I did. Not fun.

 

Same here. I have had my trans out 3 times now, all three using just a floorjack, or two guys on a mission.





Yesterday was a shit day.

 

This. I have a pretty damn built truck and I still see more to do every damn day.

 

well...thats not good.

 

Shit it's not even fun WITH a tranny jack. Aligning it with those dowel pins was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

 

What the hell is that?

 

Its in?

 

Tranny in now?

 

Yup, to an extent. I have that one bellhousing bolt in the top left, the starter, and the torque converter/flex plate left to go.
