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

It’s seems like it’s always the same late night crowd

 

Oh I know, I’ve been up for them last 5 nights

 

lol yea my work has me up in the early hours, then when i get home work still bothers me with there crap cause no one knows how to do the job apparently. but i enjoy it cant wait till i do a week off road vacation and they cant reach me XD lol waiting on skid plates and rock sliders first. i dont trust them stock plates cause of the rust and i want the rock sliders for protection and off road jack mounts.

 

@Speedytech7 you have a valid opinion, Its respected and appreciated in the industy. Striking similarities with 4runnerRick. Remember the convo about making it work, before buy it now kits?
Through help and patience, cause good deals never have good timing.

My 2in all around performance, improvment, and realisticly usable upgrades is still below 600.

Dont pee on his camp fire yet, no need for koolaide keggers when the foundation is poured with ingenuity. Just sayin no need to go pirate, just enlighten @m3bassman with sharing your personally modified set up.

@BartMaster1234 To reiterate speedytech, just because its common doesnt mean its a logical or a improvment.

 

I start the day at 5am, waking up doesnt happen till noon.

 

Is it normal for our trucks to die sometimes when trying to go up a steep hill?

Mine just did it twice, am I just getting at bad angle starving it or fuel or something?

 

Nah, our trucks just kinda lose power over time. Just make sure you have over drive off before you climb the hill

 

So they don’t just be die? Like I gotta turn the key again to start it?

 

I agree. Really nice, especially for the price.

 

One day shipping.... I was told it be here on Wednesday lol made my flipping week

 

Oh I see. Yeah that's not normal, does it do the same thing if you floor it on flat ground?

 

Ebrake is currently stuck on my passenger side, no tension on the cable. Any ideas? I’ve tried getting the ice off the back axle

 

No, I’m pretty sure I was just at a bad angle and it had no fuel, it’s done it once before in the same situation

 

Is the cam stuck?

 

I have no idea

 

Look at the bellcrank and see if it's pulled out.

Pushing it back in will usually free up a frozen cable and release the brake.

 

I did that the door on my 01 is from a 97

 

Should I be able to spin the tire when it off the ground with the truck in park?

And are you talking about the thing the cable is attached to? I can’t get it to move either way atm

 

That almost sounds like a fueling issue

 

Only if both rear tires are off the ground.

And yes, talking about the thing the cable is attached to. There's a bolt that's used to set the stop point, it should be touching the backing plate if the e brake if off. You probably won't be able to actuate it by hand, it takes a surprising amount of force.
