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

look at my build log lol

 

Probably, getting my hands on a center cap from a Toyota Altezza might be kinda tough.

 

I had the old man emu with a 1in body and cleared 29/75/16 , it rode somewhat stiff but wasn’t bad

 

@Speedytech7 remember me talking about how my truck would putter like a mis fire whenever I turned on the left turn signal on while pressing on the throttle. You mention to me I had some kind of back feed of electrical of some sort. Don’t remember exactly what you called it.

Anyways since I knew I had hyper blinking from my wiring job and led’s I’m running. I decided to finally add a EP35 relay a couple of days ago. Sure shit that fixed my problem. I’ve been running the truck a few days now with no issue. I tested the truck with turning on and off the signal going different speeds and throttling up. The trucks been running fine. I’ll still give it more time on the road testing it. I Can’t believe it was that fucking relay. Have you heard of anything like this?

 

I didn’t get th grappler, but I did buy the otc bj press

 

yeah but you aren't doing wheel bearings.

 

1. The girl in back looks thrilled.

2. You've probably left a bit of Frank's blood and some fragments of other crap on most trails in North America.

3. An off road creeper should be a staple in your truck kit.

 

I put 450ish pounds and weight in the bed. I dunno if my Alcans are starting to go or if they’re actually broke or something but they seem to be sagging as much as when I had 1100ish pounds of water in it this summer.

Which is fine I guess...

 

The ladies were not impressed.

And...probably.

That would be a PITA to haul around. Have been looking at offroad hydraulic jacks though...

 

So I went to pick up the truck today from the transmission shop, and surprise surprise it's still broken. It's even worse than it was before the flexplate failed. It shifts so roughly and it still has that pinging noise from the bell housing.

I'm just stressed out and upset. This is getting to be too much. I'm about to put the 2WD transmission back in.

This truck really really REALLY does not want to be 4WD.

 

Did they not take it for a test drive or warn you about it still having problems?

Or do shops not test things out? I swear they do....

 

Tech told me he drove it and did not hear the pinging noise. I dont even know

 

What about the rough shifting? I feel like they should know when something isn’t right...

 

Should have turned around immediately and gone into the shop and asked wtf was still wrong.

 

Take it right back, they didn't do their job if there's still something wrong.

 

I did. They're looking at it tomorrow. I let the tech test drive it and from the look on his face he was really concerned.

 

I had an hour spare this aftenoon so put part of the passenger door back together and cleaned a lot of dust up......IMG_6818[/url] by Rah Images-Photography, on Flickr[/IMG]
