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

How do you like them?

 

Did some donuts in the snow

 

They seem really nice and smooth. Didnt have the proper wrench for the ss brake lines so I guess im not fully done yet.

 

I washed it... I’m gonna have to replace the carrier bearing again, I don’t know wtf up with it.

 

Doing a custom sound system in the truck so just covered the hole for now. Will cut it out for speakers when I start installing it all.

I have like 200SF of the dynamat so I think I could probably layer the truck 10times lol. Back wall is almost done, but will need to remove some of the brackets before doing much more.

Also will have a roll cage built so didn’t do all the corners yet.

 

I like those wheels!

 

CVT??

Let me know if you’re still here!

 

Why? Whats going on?

 

Thats awesome!

 

Nice! Should be a big improvement.

 

There’s just metal rubbing metal somewhere right there, both sides of the bearing get warm after a short drive. I changed it yesterday and don’t know if I did somewhere wrong somewhere.

 

I started that today too, except from the top down.

Thanks! This project has taken up a very disproportionate amount of time compared to everything else I've done on the yota haha. It will be so nice to have all my wiring cleaned up and done properly though.

 

on backwards?

 

I don’t think so, matched it up to the pictures on the write up. Wing things to the back.

 

Bummer bro

 

Did you use an OEM carrier bearing?









Sorry, I had to.

 

What’s an OEM?

 

From Toyota. I've heard the cheap part store ones don't last.



In all seriousness, how did you torque it? Those have a weird process of torquing to like 100 ft lbs, then backing it off to 50 and staking the nut.

 

You are a trouble maker
