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

Decided individual plugs for the Bussman box was a cluster. Much cleaner now.

 

You missed the point.

No one has objected to the radiator. As pointed out by at least 2-3 people.

It was the statement that oem is not better we are contesting.

That is all. Stop focusing on the wrong part of this conversation just to argue.

 

Man you are just looking for arguments aren't you?
Why do you want to come in here and just bash what people do?
We all use different parts to off road because we need them, they are a lot of OEM parts that need to be replaced so we can get our trucks higher off the ground.
That being said they are a lot of OEM parts that don't have to be changed and last a really long time, that is why we recommend them. These trucks go 3,4 5 hundred thousand miles even after being beat on. They are several thousand people on TW and if you will read you to will see how everyone helps each other to find and use the best parts weather that be OEM or something better for what we do with these trucks.
We are not just taking everyone's word about parts we are actually going off road and pushing our trucks, some times until they brake. Then we let each other know what we used and what held up and what did not.
You want to see why we recommend OEM, take your truck and follow some of us that push our trucks. You will find out quick what parts will not last.

 

OK, how about we all just get back to talking about what we did to our trucks today. I think we've beat this horse several times over, from both sides...



I'll start, next post.

 

Got a call from @CBI Offroad Fab today. Apparently my bumper is ready. Need to call back and arrange a time to pick up.

ROADTRIP!

 

Wow. That didn't take long for you get one of those. Long road trip!

 

Ya... this discussion is turning out to be extremely productive and informative.

 

You are right

New topic
I had to pull my front ARB locker out and send it back for repairs, only had it seven months.
When I would flip the switch it would blow gear oil out the diff breather, any one had this problem?

I have got it back and reinstalled and has not did it anymore, they replaced the seals in it.

 

Took pictures of my pile

 

Nasty. Hope it doesn't happen to my locker. So the actual diff seals or something within the locker itself?

 

Would have to be locker seals. Likely the ring on the end.

 

I see. I wonder if it's warranty or not... @JBTacoma

 

If you got it from some one that builds them with a warranty I'd hope so.

 

LMFAO

 

That's what I was told, they said they could not make it do it but they got with ARB and they suggest they replace the seals.
It was fixed free of charge but I had to uninstall and reinstall it.

 

I ordered it in late Oct, so pretty standard lead time, I think. And shorter trip than DV

 

They apparently do. Not sure if it's "dealership" title or just a shop that is able to buy direct from ARB.

 

Yes, got it from ECGS

 

That's your problem. I wouldn't buy a diff from ECGS, but at least they're good about warranting it.

Lots of problems from them, and I've heard of several people with that exact one.

Two seasons on my ARB front and zero issues.

 

Well I hope I never have to pull it again, I hate how I have to struggle with it for 20 or 30 minutes trying to get it in or out and all at once it just falls into place.
