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

Yes they are power, they lock in place where the old type if u bump they need to be readjusted

 

New bushings came in the mail

 

Right on! Those are the best bushings you can get for our trucks

 

Which bushings would be the ones to replace while changing the LCA bushings? I'm buying my LBJ tomorrow

 

Still clicks

 

oh you gotta be kidding me.

So you took the starter apart yes and the contacts were okay?

 

No just replaced the starter all together.

 

So fresh battery and fresh rebuild on starter? Is it a auto or manual? How's the flywheel?

 

ah okay.

Did you check all your cable connections?

 

Like where they connect to the battery?

 

yes those but also on the starter

 

Also where is the clicking coming from? The fuse box? or the starter?

 

Did a little drive through some 1 foot of snow new tires devoured it. Best set I've owned hands down. Way better than the ko2's.

Also I just crawled under the truck. I thinking it would be better to replace the steering rack instead of just the tie rod ends. I'll post pictures of the whole underside of the truck. Rear brakes are also needing work. I know lbj needs replacing and cv axles as well (think I tore a boot) and valve cover gaskets. Needs to done before further upgrades other than the uca's cause upper ball joints are at a sketchy angle

 

Starter

 

Not a auto zone rebuilt starter?

 

Maybe

 

Well you're back to square one.

You either have a bad ground connection or a bad starter...even if it is new.

Aftermarket ones aren't know to be super great. Why i suggested on just rebuilding the contacts yourself.

 

What’re the odds it’s the starter relay?

 

Wouldn't hurt to look at it

 

thats why I asked where the clicking was coming from. But can pull that easily and pop it open to check its contacts.
