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

Big hint on the readily available part bud

 

Supposedly more consistent PSI change with temp change, and nitrogen is better for long term storage. But normal air is about 80% nitrogen so your really only just deleting the other 20% that normal air has

Ahh that stuff is hard to find

 

Where do you work ? I’m sorry bro I get asked that question on the regular haha

 

Oh my!!

 

Damn I need to get a nice camera

Edit: here’s a pic of my truck Friday night with my crappy phone camera

 

I don't know, it's kinda got that late 90's Toyota brochure filter to it.

 

Dropped my truck off to finally have the AC repaired, can't wait to see the bill on this hah

 

I need to replace the compressor and condenser on my truck. Not a chance I would pay someone to do it because I know that bill is gonna be high. Hell reman parts alone were $300-$400

 

As far as I know the parts are good, maybe needs a seal or pressure relief valve. But I check as much as I could and the guy is cool with me replacing the parts he diagnoses.

 

My idler pulley kept dying so I just took the belt off. It's been a good 5 years since I've had AC in my truck (luckily PA isn't very hot.) Kinda want to get the new redesigned sealed pulley to see if the AC even works anymore.

 

Well, just got the call, gonna be an EVAP coil and expansion valve. Told them let's just get it done so I can ride in comfort, $700, saves me the trouble of pulling my dash apart and doing it all and I'll have it back tomorrow working again.

 

No jokes about filling tires with helium to offset the weight of armor and light bars?

 

That would be hydrogen, but I like it because Archer

 

Go back and watch that one, they made jokes about him not understanding the difference between what blew up the Hindenburg and the helium filled zepplin in the episode.

 

Mailman brought a present today

And that’s just about all the major components I needed for the lift. The plan is doing 2.5” with SPC Upper Control Arms, ICON Coilivers, and AllPro Leafsprings.

I just need to order a BPV bracket, some new U-Bolts, Shackle Bushings, and send the Icons off to get rebuilt.



And there goes my life savings...

 

Got the ads put in today and pulled the sway bar out. So stoked drives like a dream!!

 

Finally put my subwoofer back in and built a whole box for the back seat with a greyman tactical rigid molle insert on the way! I'll add some pics once i get it done
