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

Not exactly "Today" - these most recent days including this one, I replaced Upper and lower Ball Joints (Mushed all to pieces) , CV Axle on the driver side (Torn boot) , Replaced the Tierod ends and now currently looking for a Universal Joint that connects my Rear Drive shaft to the Transfer case. This Universal Joint and Yoke are blown to bits after way to long of a drive on them no being ideally operating , Never again ! I have enjoyed working on this truck more than anything else ive worked on, its actually a pleasure to see the design of this machine.

If there is anyone out there that knows a good place to get that Ujoint and Yoke im all ears.

 

Replaced the broken outside passenger door handle on my truck. Was kind of a bitch. Now it works buttery smooth...

I'm waiting in line at a Toyota recycler for a new driveshaft.

This is in their glass showcase. It's so tempting. I don't know who crashes their truck and leaves this when the insurance takes it away

 

if they aren't asking much id take em. But chances are..they are asking too much.

 

I bet they're charging an arm and a leg for it. I'll ask once they bring my driveshaft out. This is the same place who wanted $600 for an A340F with 200k

 

What would be a good price on it?

 

I wonders what’s new??
Thanks again @Speedytech7

I’m positive the box is more centered than that, Incase that bugs anyone else besides me.

 

idk. depends on the condition.

maybe 400or so for the UCAs would be killer. shocks..if they are extended travel 2.5s anything from 500-700 since you don't know the miles.

 

It was for an 02 Tundra. They were asking $1400

 

still fit your truck.

Not a terrible deal. But id pass. Not a great deal either.

 

Replaced some parts; tail light lenses, new corner running light, finally a rear view mirror, my heater works!!! And... a fresh oil change. My Taco is so HAPPY!

 

It's a J-Shift. What do you mean no need?

 

Well I drove three hours to Sacramento and they didn't have the driveshaft. Guy told me they had a team looking for it but never could locate it.

Guess I'm shortening my PreRunner driveshaft.

 

Ouch. Sorry man.

 

Nothing can just go how it's supposed to for this project for you can it? Good luck

 

Oh yeah I just wanted to be extra and have the dash tell me 4HI or 4LO. There is a way but I'm going to have to make some custom circuitry since the 4HI sensor only detects 4WD statically. It does work though I have it hooked up.

 

I'll probably have to put the diff lock light somewhere else I already wired it all and printed the lenses for it.

 

Nope never had it

 

Installed the stereo and switchplate, gonna install my RTMR tomorrow I think and I'll order some more switches then too. Took for fucking ever to retune my amp, this head unit has way hotter preouts than my other did.
