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

I'm running same bars and originally mounted my hi-lift like that but when the rtt is centered it was hard to unzip it. Now I am running a rhino hi-lift mount which makes unzipping it easy, however I cant get the tent poles in on that side. hahaha

 

So I’ve been lookin to correct my speedometer on my truck also and just glanced through most of what you have written up about. I just have one question that may be a dumb one but here it goes. I’m 2wd do I still have this same speedo gear somewhere since I don’t have a transfer case which is where it is located on the 4wd trucks

 

We have a WINNER, A STRAIGHT!!!
555,555. At 55mph!!!!!!!

 

Not 100% but I think prerunner speedo is on the tail housing on the transmission

 

I just went and crawled under my truck I think your correct. It looks same as the pics from turbodb but I want to be really be sure. The incorrect mileage from my new tires drives me insane

 

If only your tripometer was at 5.5

I can see you tried but it must not be calibrated properly.

 

Pinion seal is bad again

 

Damn man did a shop install it

 

wtf. Why are is spraying from behind the diff?

 

5.3, we always round up, close enough driving 55mph )

 

@Floridagulfcoasttaco Yep, this ^^^, sounds like you found it. If you do the swap, will be interesting to see what you've got installed now, and what you switch to.

 

Air/wind as he drives down the road; blows the oil back slightly?

 

No I did it before I took it to a shop to have the u-joint replaced.

My guess is because I drive the highway mostly. Gonna park it until next week when I have spring break to fix all this shit

 

I definitely want to do it. Those where my next questions. Anybody know what size it will have in there from factory? It’s a 4at etc tranny 3.4 motor 4.10 gears. According to my door jam it had 225/75/15 tires from factory but the previous owner had the dealer option of 265/75/15 with the nicer rims added on according to my Toyota so I wonder if that will effect it. I went up to 265/75/16 tires and my speedo reads 60mph when Im actually doing 63 and 70 when My gps says 74.

 

Well, I'd say you fall squarely in the "jackpot" category. You drive 74 miles and your odometer only logs 70. You'll have a low mileage Tacoma for longer! I wouldn't change anything. But, you're looking at losing 1 tooth or so, to get accurate.

My bet is that you have a 30 or 31 in there. You could pull it quickly to see, then get a 30 or 28 (note: I assume the 28 will fit in your AT even though it's listed for MT, since the other tooth part numbers are the same... But haven't tried myself.)

Part numbers are in my thread, here again:

Automatic Transmission

• 30-tooth: 33403-39365
• 32-tooth: 33403-39425
• 33-tooth: 33403-39415

Manual Transmission

• 28-tooth: 33403-39585
• 30-tooth: 33403-39365
• 31-tooth: 33403-39345
• 32-tooth: 33403-39425
• 33-tooth: 33403-39415

 

picked me up some 17 in trd sport wheels for her today

 

Check the play in the pinion bearing. I've seen people bazooka seals at things that really have other problems

 

Just gonna have a shop deal with it. U-joint was bad which likely cause the seal to go bad and I likely didn’t seat it properly when I put a new seal in.

 

Cleani inside and out, just in time to replace a water pump and timing belt.

 

I guess you could look at it that way hah. I’m mainly concerned about keeping an accurate count on miles for service purposes. I can definitely see a change since my new tires so I wanna get it back to where it was. I think I’m just gonna pull it out of my tranny and count the teeth and go the next lower gear. It looked pretty simple just to pull it out and replace the gear right? You wouldn’t happen to know the part number for that o-ring either would you? I’m gonna order a few before I pull the gear out.
