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

why our rear drum pads last forever.

BAMF makes a simple BPV bracket you can buy and just bolt to the axle. I did a manual one on Igor here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...kensteins-helper.390488/page-12#post-14150175

Much more involved though. Just getting the bracket is simple enough.

 

I’ve been never heard of having to relocate it after lifting, I’ll get it taken care of though thanks.

 

yeah its often overlooked. BAMF is having a sale right now too. Id just get the big one. More rear brakes is always nice.

 

Sorry just the bed. I thought my original post was more detailed. I figured I would put it up before scrapping it.

 

Yea for sure, I’ll look at it when I get off the mountain.
Thanks

 

Not bad for $7

 

If it wasn't almost an Olympic sport to remove the carpet I'd be tempted to do that to my truck, even after three passes with an extractor it still needs help haha

 

does anyone know anything about this pump? Says you have to fabricate your own bracket, but will it work with stock rack and reservoir?

What pains me is removing those damn plastic trim rings around the cubby holes. At the yard I stripped those stupid plastic screws that some Japanese engineer thought was a good idea to use. I gave up and just pried and snapped the rings off with a pry bar.

I don't know how I'm going to do it without destroying them in my truck.

 

Fairly sure this is for steering boxes like you'd find on SAS vehicles and maybe for RAM assist if it was a small ram.

 

no it will not. Not without a lot of custom fittings and hoses and other stuff. Thats for a hydro assist ram setup from a pre taco for SAS stuff

 

thats kinda what I was suspecting too but it said for 2.7 and 3.4? No clue
question answered though, thanks guys lol

 

I'm sure with a little modding it'll fit our engines which are swapped into sasd and early pickups all the time. But it is not a stock replacement by any means.

 

Nothing fancy... Changed spark plugs and air filter. Stuff from original owner was kinda gross.

 

No worries. I was something like 35 pages behind on the thread so I may not have seen your original post.

 

I did extensive research on this one, before I replaced my pump. They have a bracket ect to bolt it up. The pump puts out a higher gpm and the people that were running it had no issues with the pump and running 35s. Although they replaced the rac with a remain and ended up going through 1 a year because it kept blowing seals.

If a person wanted to take the time and fit a regulator on the feed side, then I could see it being a great solution.

 

I think my power steering pulley is bent or my pump is shot which is why I was asking, the belt got shredded up too. I was hearing a faint squeaking but didnt think much of it.. Is there a rebuild kit for the pump and a better pulley I could use?

 

Yes you can get a rebuild kit.

 

who do you know that is running this pump with a tacoma rack?

 

I dont have his build thread book marked anymore. He had long travel +4 and 35s.
