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

I think the front fell off

 

Its about f-in' time!

My Xterra "W" cab rack is crap (thanks prior owner in Oregon)

 

Must of came from a salt belt state

 

and I'm going skinnier when I go to 33s so my girth won't be as....pleasing...as it might be currently.

 

side note, all the Discount Tire shops near me have a very limited selection of available skinny 33s...pretty much limited to Cooper ST, ST Max, or KM2s. Was pretty set on trying the ST Max tires this time around anyways. They're actually lighter by a few lbs each than my smaller KO2s currently.

 

Alright I'm having an issue with my lower radiator hose. I can't get it to stop leaking around the clamps. It's not leaking enough to even drip, just seeping around where it meets the radiator and engine block. It's enough to where I'm loosing coolant over long periods of time.

When I first got the truck, it had the original hose on it and that was leaking. So I drained and flushed the radiator, replaced the lower hose with an OEM Toyota hose with OEM Toyota spring clamps. Replaced the coolant with Toyota Red LLC. And now it's seeping again. Any clue what could cause this?

When I replaced the hose, I made sure the mating surfaces on the radiator and engine were clean and had no cracks. Both clamps are also tight.

 

Even though I knew we would have to, I just can’t bring my self to drill the roof. I wish they would have posted some further away pics, to give a better idea of how the whole truck looks

 

Can you grab me that EVAP can?

 

God dammit you are bad timing. I just left.

 

eh no worries, it's not a super rare part

 

Is it? I didn’t know that.

 

They're expensive but not rare, only early tacos had that can before they went to the huge one with all the goofy sensors.

 

Shiiiiiit….. Phx Arizona is even better on frames.

 

I found a 4Runner with the rear Locker. How bad is it to remove the actuator motor? I can’t take the whole pumpkin the wheels are stuck on it.

 

3 bolts and some connectors

 

Oh hell yeah im taking it. Too bad the wheels are stuck on, I would’ve taken the whole pumpkin.

 

I’m typing this from under a 4Runner. Can some please send me the diagram of the rear locker actuator exploded diagram? I removed three bolts and it’s stuck.

 

Probably stuck engaged on the diff, might take some force or wiggling wheels

 

Can you tell if the actuator is engaged?

There are others that can speak better to this issue.

 

It might be engaged. I have no idea.
