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

70s square body or 80s?

 

Are they the SOBs that put them spark blocks and drve down the highway? One did that to me once and I swerved like a nest of bees in my truck. Thinking "WTF his transmission or something is going to fly off" cop pulled me over and explained to me what was going on.

 

Did someone say squarebody?

We need more mini trucks. The only american company that comes to mind is the Chevy colorado but that can't be a mini truck. Looks like it's the same damn size as a silverado. Call me crazy but the 3rd gen isn't a mini truck to me either.

 

Ya just not even close to that clean tho

 

They are all beautiful in there own way. I love these trucks

 

what the bolt doesn't come off? And the then the bearing cover and pulley should come off? Looks exactly like how the AC idler pulley works on a V6.

 

Hey you'll, where are you getting your KING shocks from?

 

I've been happy with Downsouth Motorsports.

 

I tried to pull the covers off, they're really on there

 

try harder

 

I don't wanna bend anything, I tried prying. New idea, gonna find an idler from another vehicle that'll fit cause this one isn't for sale anywhere

 

Monte's way of saying you weak bro lol

 

That's funny, cause it's usually his bolts falling out. He should use some of that farm boy mountain man strength on the end of a torque wrench

 

Or his good-in-tight is out of calibration

 

How close is the pulley to the bracket? Can you get a piece of angle to slide in there and on the opposite side then push on the inner race of the bearing popping the front off?

 

wait...so you got the bolt off but the pulley just won't come off the bracket?

 

Yeah, I think that would be best. Damn that sucks but I'm sure there is something or someone out there that can help.

 

That’s a custom install... lol
