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

Stupid question, are you sure its not weeping from the water pump and just trailing down to the hose?

 

Ahh okay that’s a good reason

 

Thanks brother. It’s all done

 

Bought my wife one....

Now we have 2... LOL!

 

At first I thought that might be what was going on, but I checked and nope, it's only leaking where the hose meets the fitting.

 

ANYBODY? ordered one online and I got the wrong size. My OCD is going nuts

 

Overcharged maybe. Or belt stretch. How old is the belt?

 

Belt tension, you now have a full charge to fight against. Go tighten your belt

 

I think the newer truck like yours use those small NEO base bulbs

 

This weekend I finally picked up a set of All Pro Expo leaf springs. Cannot wait to get rid of this saggy booty. I have a few extra sets of AP leaf packs if anyone else is interested.

 

@BartMaster1234
We're you looking for a locking differential? I have one rolling around here. Have the axle also but it's rusted.

 

I am. But shipping would murder that deal. Haha.

 

I went to Cars & Coffee today at IMS and they told me to go to the general lot since he assumed I wasn’t there to show my truck I politely informed him that it was most definitely a show that gets used lol. It was just a funny situation since it was the only off-road and muddy truck there

 

I'm long overdue for a regear, it's time! All the links I have saved from back in the day don't work anymore. Looks like PORC is not even in business anymore.

2001 DC, auto, 3.4, 33s, elocker, daily driver so highway driving matters to me. Want to go with 4.88 instead of 4.56, is that the right choice? Can you guys recommend what brand gears & who to buy from? Will be getting them installed at a local rear end shop, Hoopers.

All I remember is US Gear, Yukon, Nitro, Richmond? Do I need the full or mini install kit? I just had the axle seals & bearings replaced last month.

Thanks

 

thanks man. I'll do a little more digging

 

I switched to LED. But LED or not. It’s the same fitment. Here ya go.

 

My boys '97 - Replaced the Clutch Master and Slave cylinder today. Also, found the source of the squeal/grind noise coming from the front end. Apparently one of the brake pad clips popped out on one end and was grinding against the wheel (ironically the noise started happening at the same time the Master/Slave took a shit, so I was fearing something let go in the clutch/bell housing area as well...phew).




His truck took priority this weekend as I was sick of carpooling to work. My '03 dbl cab needs some love soon. I have had the

$53 Hayden 678 Universal Rapid-Cool 9.5” x 11” Add-On Transmission Cooler – Not for Direct Replacement of the OE Cooler

Hayden 678 tranny cooler on the shelf for a bit, but need to pick up some additional tranny line to complete the job.

 

I pulled my camper across the mountain

 

Man i love the color of the truck. I wanna wrap my truck in that color

 

Sometimes I regret changing it from white...
