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

Yup, i do it for a living so it’s not that bad faster you do so many you kinda know how everything goes

 

I can't find any thing for that piece. I'm still pretty sure it's just part of the cab. I've done a can swap and don't recall it being separate at all

 

Tha suck man, take the time and fix it if possible for you. Hope ya feel better soon.

Its 3/16s plate with out reinforcing. Great bumpers but just a smidge better then stock. The crash bumper in a oem takes a good impact.

 

I belive they spot weld then covered with smoothed out glue shit so the welds are not visable. It was like that with my 79 ad 82.

 

Kinda late to start a project but started installing the RTMR

 

Well idk where to get one of those haha

 

I can find 2wd ones. But not 4wd.

Never mind. Wow pricey.

 

Should be the same no? You have a 2wd body on Frank.

 

Not quite. There are differences I had to cope with.

Found the 4wd ones though. Oem ones are 380 bucks

 

Saw this the inner fender well on the driver side is touching the uca. But not on the passenger side. Thinking about trimming if need be but i can't think of the reason why it's like that

 

Day two with the truck back, still drives fine. Kind of don't want to drive it above 40 MPH because I don't have a rear driveshaft.

Am I okay with driving in 4HI with the front differential at any speed without the rear end connected? Totally afraid something is going to break. I know I've asked this before but I'm just making sure.

In other news, I was flying a GoPro Karma drone above a football field today and at about 150 feet or 15 stories it just lost connection and plummeted to the ground. It exploded into a million pieces.

Another expensive mistake over a period of two weeks, luckily GoPro knows this happens to their drones and it was covered under warranty. Wish my flexplate fell under the same coverage, lol.

 

Agreed

 

How many miles on the truck? Body mount bushings could be shot

 

You can see the caulking I was refering to at the corner water spot. I bet you could get one at a yard for 50. Most places online i have found pannels on is about 60% of the oem cost.

 

didnt think about that, it had a frame replacement about 140k ago but it has 240k body miles

 

Like mentioned before I wouldnt go over 45 due to just running the front drive. I dont know about auto hub drivelines. The man hubs had poorly balanced fronts, and would fail at constant high Rpms or mph.

 

I try to keep it below 45. Usually 40 is the fastest I go. I'd get my shaft shortened but they're never open when I have time. Might have to sneak out early one day.

 

So I shouldn't go 70 in 4WD? Haha lots of folks on here have grenaded rear drivelines and limped across states on just the front. He should be fine. The only time I have a front vibe is when hubs are locked but I'm not in 4WD, but she feels good way past safe speeds in 4WD.

 

I wasnt saying its not doable, just showing caution on going 60mph on the freeway.
You said it your self, you get vibes with your hubs locked, on dirt I agree not feeling to much vibes in 4wd at 50. The clencher is he would have to be in 4wd and on pavment.
