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

His coilovers are over maxed o

so is that a breather or just the end of the 1/4” tubing?

 

Just a piece of heat formed tubing, but right behind that is a little filter. I didn't choose to reuse the stock breather thing, didn't see any reason to.

 

The Polaris dealer where I'm from sells something like this with almost every atv/sxs they sell.

That's my plan keeps the dif sealed and allows expansion so it doesn't blow your seals.

 

Here she is

 

Got carried away washing my truck and ended up pulling off the flares. I sanded them, primed, and plastidipped. Also ordered new pad/trim molding from Toyota.

 

Got around to fixing my IFS skid mounts near the LCA's (the rear mounts for the stock skids) after they were - unbeknownst to me - ripped off by my skid plate... Probably didn't need to fix them, but it made me feel better...

Did you clean the t-body?

 

Has anyone had any issues with extended stainless steel braided brake lines leaking at this fitting?

More specifically right here:


I’m pretty sure it’s leaking right there but hopefully I’m wrong!

If it is, can I run it for a couple of days until I get a new one? Just around town.

 

Took my rig to mexico

 

I think my battery is on its way out, I’ve had a few hard starts over the last week or two. Thing is only like a year old.

 

That sucks man, where'd ya get it? Maybe a warranty? Sorry i lagged on the measurments for you, did you get the new coils?

 

Oreilys, I’m on the way to the gym Ima swing by and get it checked on the way home.

Yes! I got kings 14” 700lbs. Super happy with them! Glad I pulled the trigger

 

Stoked! U keep the sway bar?

 

Lawd have mercy! That's some OCD shit right there!

 

It’s on there right now. Did feel like pulling the skids off. I’ll probably get rid of it when I give the truck an oil change

 

lmfao... side note. Did you know that Christian Bale's personal truck is a 1st gen double cab?

 

Shop called me this morning.

They confirmed my suspicions, it's the flexplate. They said it's cracked pretty bad. Ordered a new flexplate through Gunny, total comes out to about $1,200 dollars with labor. Yeah I could do it myself, but at this point my time is more important than the money I put into the truck. This is my DD and I've had to rent and borrow cars to get anywhere.

You live you learn. Oh well.

 

Lol.


That care and affection wasn't meant for you but thanks.

 

Damn dude, that SUCKS! Wish you were closer. I would make you let me help you swap out that flexplate... I'm sure we'd be able to get a couple other guys to help.

But at least you'll have peace of mind once it's done. I just know how hard it is to part with 1200 bucks.

 

I'm just too damn busy - I did this over Christmas break and I've gone back to school since then. I've barely have time to myself unfortunately.
