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

New headlights and taillights for my birthday

 

Wow, that's such a weird breakage for stock motor mounts, they usually stop that much force from transmitting to anything.

 

Yea man, I don't know what could have happened. I went ahead and replaced both mounts plus the transmission one to be safe

 

I'd chalk it up as a fluke if you don't remember doing anything that could cause that haha. I need to think about beefing up the frame side of my perches soon with the hard poly mounts in there, trans is already taken car of though.

Nightmare of a job but love the difference they make...

 

We had planned on beefing up the frame perches but when it came time to it we just didn't have the time. Hopefully this won't ever occur again. I might just buy another set of perches from Toyota before they stop making them.

 

Ahh, got it. No, the front was still on the front tires since I was just doing work to the back .

 

if you ever do do it again, DMZ makes new perches I think. They are quite beef.

 

That 9hr trip went successfully I'd say. Alternator went out halfway and had to spend 3 hours replacing it in an AutoZone parking lot. Then I arc'd it and blew the alternator fuse which took a while to figure out. Other than that, truck did great. Good thing I had a lifetime warranty on it!

 

Its kind of common in the long travel trucks. Mine are plated and boxed with an extra layer on the frame side, the factory frame mount is sandwiched in between the new plate and the motor mount. Some have even beefier than mine and have still torn them apart

 

Finally came

 

Thanks. I see it now. I'm marking for future reference.

Will be cruising around in style with my new 2002 Lexus IS300 steering wheel.

Black to match my 4Runner shifter console.

 

Wasn't today, but rather this weekend. Bed lined the truck with Raptor Liner.



Only had one rust repair to make. Used some rivets to put in the patch as I didn't feel it was necessary to break out the welder for such a small hole.

 

Took a trip to the desert this weekend

 

You gotta make money to afford your dog and your truck part addiction some how

 

Well this is neat... I feel like it has to do with a dirty MAF....

 

Where have you been.

It just showed up this morning, still runs fine, being 80 miles from town I’m just gonna send it...

 

Saw this thing on the highway today while stuck in traffic


And then when I got into my neighborhood the truck developed the most annoying metal on metal rattle. Took me awhile to find but the months of leaving the sunroof popped finally took its toll and loosed the bolts for the latch, tightened em up and she seems good to go!

 

I thought thats how your suppose to to drive a jeep, no safety at all...

 

Oh I know, I’ve had limited service for the past week and a half and every time I get on I’ve missed like 200 posts.
