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

same

 

It would have to have a supercharger on it..

 

So there's 7 zerk grease fittings on the rear driveshaft & 5 on the front DS of my '02 Ext. Cab ?? Thanks

 

1 at each joint =4. 1 at slip joint and 1 at cardon ball. 6
That picture shows 2 slip joints. We only have 1

 

I’ve grease them in the past yes, the only one I could see giving me issues is the double Cardan, I just can’t figure out what’s rubbing on what. The heats coming from a bearing and I don’t what’s causing it.

Some rain camping over the weekend. Also installed my synthetic line and new brakes up front but found out one caliper leaks. Tried fixing it but no luck so getting a new one today to install. Also my scs wheels showed up so those get some stt pros next weekend!

 

OK, understood . Thanks

 

I couldn't imagine what it would be like without it... Came with the kit which was nice.

 

x2.

Also be super easy to LS swap or turbo and make a fun prerunner out of.

 

Yes it is more akin in size and design to the front diff of a 3rd gen pickup or 2nd gen runner, also the rear diff of a 3rd gen Supra.

 

Yeah, its a 7.5'' ring diff. Not hard to swap that though. Its a SUA setup as well.

 

was under the truck after i heard a sound one of my u-bolts on my leaf springs shifted. so i tried to fix it and the leaf spring shifted and something smacked me in the face and broke my nose. im taking it as a sign that my truck donkey kicked me to take her off roading lol the problem is fixed and im ok. was only a broken nose getting it straighten back was brutal lol

 

wow. That sounds fun. What exactly hit you?

 

i have no idea, im thinking it was the axle when the leaf pack shifted on me it could of moved and hit me. i was laying close to it so it was a dumb move on me. or the ratchet could of hit me when it slipped. hard to tell since there was no blood till my nose was straitened.

 

huh. Well i bet that was a bucket o fun.

 

lol lot better from the injury i got in my auto mechanics class in high school. kid got a bolt cross threaded for a torsion bar and with out realizing that it was under tension i helped him out to get it out. and the torsion bar hit me in the fore head. was sent to the hospital for that one since it knocked me out and i had a 5" gash on my head. luckily my skull wasn't cracked but that was the worst injury from working on a car i've had

 

You know I've been thinking... 5-lug and a v6 with 400k miles. Not worth that much on the resale market and not worth much as a daily driver since it's so beat up. I would feel bad cutting it up to make a trailer like I wanted so the next best option is clearly...

I'm going to do an SAS on this damn thing.

 

I still think leaving it 2wd and slapping an LS in it and go to town. Cx racing has all the mounts for even a t56 and exhaust.

 

If I was going to do an LS I'd probably put it in my truck. Would you be using the AISIN transmission and transfer case with an engine like that or would you go to something beefier?

 

way way way more involved to make it fit with 4wd. The exhaust routing is a bitch and clearing the front diff no simple task either.

If money is no object, t56 with an atlas.

But the r150 is strong, the tcase and front diff will let go before the tranny would. Rear diff too.

adapters for ls to r150 though...very expensive.
