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

You are filling out section 1 to 4 and 6 and 7 section 5 does not need to be filled out unless the car has a lien on it which means you wont need the notary

 

That was 20 years ago and in So Cal so I have no idea now. I had a repair shop do them for me

 

Finally got my damn SMOG done.

Stay classy, California.

 

Wow! Any pics of it folded up?

Correct!

However, might wanna check. CA DMV stopped allowing the use of the 227. Could be just for financial institutions tho. Im considered an expert on DMV at my job.

 

This might be true last time I used it was a year and a half ago

 

Yup. Its recent

 

I think my areodynamics might be affected lol

 

Got my front lift installed.

$150 Moog 81102 Coil Spring Set

Moog 81102 coils on 5100 set to 1.3". My question is, are my CV angles excessive? I posted a thread earlier but no reply. With my old struts, the cv axles were perfectly flat. I take it they settled since it was new, but 4" of lift seems a little too much for what I installed. Granted, I haven't driven it yet as I still have to do the rear, so I expect that it may settle some.

 

Is it just me, or is something funky happening with the orientation of the bolt on the top plate? Why wouldn't it be oriented the same way (longitudinally) on both coilovers? It's a minor point of concern because I need the coilover to articulate out another 3" to mate with my long travel lower control arm when limping to a shop to have some shock towers bolted in. Any Toytec owners here?

Driver's side - how I think both should look



Passenger side - notice how the bolt is sticking out of of the coil bucket and it doesn't look like the coilover can swivel as far out on the bolt / bushing



Whaddya think?

 

Loaned my truck to my buddy so he could rent a U-Haul and take some stuff to the landfill. He called saying that they could not get the trailer brakes to work on the trailer, although the blinkers did work. I have a 4 pin flat connector, so it should be left and right blinker and left and right brake light, correct? Maybe a blown fuse? Where is the fuse box for the trailer lights? Owner's manual not much help. Thanks in advance guys.

 

Took her to my buddies shop for a free diagnostic . its the throttlebody. 1k part. $70 to install. Damn it...lol

 

SHIT!!!!!

 

Got some heated 4Runner mirrors - I've always wanted heated mirrors during cold days.

Got a new blower motor for my 5-lug too.

 

I wish junkyards around me had older Tacos and/4Rnrs.

 

Yeah I don’t know what I was thinking. I was looking at the repair estimate sheet and it looks like they are going to repair the rocker panel and not replace it.

 

You live in California... do you know what a cold day is? Haha

 

Dont stress yourself out over your decision too much. Those people prey on situations like that, and dude caught you in a weak moment. He will be a crazy asshole who drills holes in peoples cars the rest of his life, you will not. So youre winning already!

 

I paid for that 600 , the oil got into break so in addition to the seal they clean up and change both sides of brake shoes

 

Oh I’m over it. I was annoyed that night but after the estimates I felt better. Getting a door for $50 so can’t complain there

 

I have leaky valve covers. What can happen if i continue to run the truck this way?
