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

Pardon, isn't that pretty much exactly the definition of a harmonic balancer??

 

Currently, my aux lights have inline fuse, a fuse in the block and the 125A fuse. I dont think this will cause any problems but I plan on removing the inline fuses.
I have been practicing my soldering on a 4x4 trailer I am building. Once I have that down, I will go back and cut out all the old inline fuses and poor butt crimp splices I initially used.

 

I guess having fuses in series doesnt really affect anything right? Cause if you have a surge it will just pop the first fuse.

 

Also what gauge wire did you run to the box from the battery terminal? 4gauge?

 

My new frame finally came in 4 months later.. wallets much lighter but now the truck can finally start going together. Engines out in Arizona in the next week or so. She should be running by spring. (I’ll post pictures of the frame when I get home)

 

damn, I destroyed a wheelers bump stop this weekend. cracked it in half!

 

Damn that sucks! Hope mine don't do the same. Time to get pasticguy's rear bumps! I'm planning on getting a set too when they get released.

 

Replaced timing belt, all accessory belts, water pump, t-stat, crankshaft and camshaft seals, two rollers and timing belt tensioner. Also put this sticker on...

 

I did the pinch weld mod, vacuumed the inside, washed it, going to do clay bar and wax it.

 

Def will be looking into the cradles and airbags in the near future.

 

Ran mine through the automatic car wash. I knew the passenger side leaked got to watch it pouring in today. I really need to do that TSB.

 

Shiny and new

 

Finally replaced my carrier bearing & gave my driveshaft a quick dirty coat of paint. I didn't remove the front section of the driveshaft, just replaced the CB & painted with it on the truck.

Also fixed the crack on my windshield that I got last week from my Pismo trip.



This pic showing driveshaft angle with the CB drop. Rear wheels are off the ground.



Before & after pics. It's not completely gone but well worth the $10 for the kit & it doesn't catch my eye anymore which was really annoying. I can still see it if I look for it & with the circle I drew removed my camera can't even focus on it. Now it just looks like a spec of dirt or like one of the many other small pits I have on the windshield.

 

Where does it leak from & what does the TSB fix? Curious, I never heard of this issue.

 

Looking at your avatar makes me wonder how your motor mounts are holding up.

 

How frusturating was the CB replacement? Ive gotta do mine soon and I'm a bit intimidated to drop the shaft. Glad to see you had better luck with the stupid chip kit than I did. When I pulled the little cone piece off, it took all the filler with it. My one chip has procreated into two so its come to my attention I need to get them professionally fixed.

 

Interesting how your 02 has an throttle body like that. I thought they didn't go to those until 03.

 

Wheeled mine for a week. Good times.

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

Weird my 04 has tbe old style
