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

I didn’t do something right on this carrier bearing.... putting off some heat for sure... frustrating.

 

Mine is due for replacement... figure out what you did wrong and check back so I don’t go down the same path lol

 

Picked up some wheels

 

I don’t even know what... I thought I did it all by the book .

 

Well those bumpers look pretty good. Iv only seen them in bad angles and painted the same color as the truck. I might buy it instead of the 4xinovation. Nothing wrong with the 4x but those arb looks like they can take a beating

 

I had mine for two years and my rear diff did it. It’s really easy to replace the seals and they are like $7.
The hardest part is getting the diff out. Seals take 5min tops.

 

It’s not ecgs is the arb design of the rear diff. The front locker is a different design and doesn’t really have the same issue.

I’ve never heard anything bad about ecgs, I mean they have a 5year warranty on their diffs and have great customer service. Did you have a bad experience?
Rigs looking good btw. Been a while since i saw it.

 

I have an aftermarket radiator . 2 years later, its great

 

Love some D window steelies. Those will looks good, 15s or 16s?

 

Don't think I could go 15s if I wanted to do the tundra brakes, these are 16x8, ~4.25 bs, just scooped em up cuz they were cheap, $125 never mounted. I didnt really want the black on black look but Im sure it'll grow on me lol

 

Those are good looking, any chance you know the brand, hard to find D window steelies that don't scrub the front of the caliper on Tacomas.

 

Haven't even test fit them yet, these are Vision's, I think they're like $60 new Im gonna need to grab a 5th for the spare.

 

I'll bet the rub the calipers. Only brand that didn't was wheelers wheels.

 

significantly or can I shave em?

 

Nah just shave the calipers. What I did and others have done. Unless it rubs really bad mine just barely did.

 

I must have missed it but which bumper did you order from them? Just got an email today saying that mine should arrive by the 8th.

 

Question... best place to buy Yukon 5.29 gears (F&R) for my '02 with factory e-locker. CoresWest is offering free master overhaul kits with yukon gear sets but I can't find the 5.29 gear for the e-lock diff on their site. Oh, and its rebate season for Yukon too so it'd be a killer deal to buy them now.

 

Nah, you didn't miss anything. I was trying to keep it on the down-low. But then...well, we needed to get back into positive vibes .

Got an Outback, with swing-out. I'm sure there will be plenty of pics of me picking it up, and then installing it.

 

hahahaha, I thought you were just giving me a hard time for trying to be positive. Freaking priceless!

 

Yeah but while its under warranty I will let them take care of it

Well mine was the front diff,
It was an ARB problem not ECGS and ECGS does have excellent customer service. They paid shipping both ways and answered any question I had.
