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

Any chance you know the OEM part number?

 

Sorry, I just called my dealer and ask that they get me a shifter seat and bushing.

 

No worries. Found some on Rockauto.

 

I think they're

$9 M6-1.0 M6 Black Acorn Cap Nuts, Stainless Steel 304 (18-8) Black Coating Acorn Nuts, 20Pcs-Pack

M6-1.0 x 20mm

 

Could be that the clutch isn't 100% disengaged you'd likely notice this at a stop though. Truck would want to creep forward.

 

Could be. It's an old beater truck with 450k, I'm surprised it's made it this far.

 

Maybe someone that drives stick should try it out before you start buying stuff. To make sure its not user error

 

It’s not. I drove a 5-Speed Prelude and the shifting is completely different, you can actually put it into gear without slop. My friend who drove it onto the U-Haul trailer said the same thing about the trouble of shifting into gear as well.

 

Then yeah start throwing money at it

If you do let me know and ill order with you because i need some parts too

 

I’ll let you drive it next time you’re around.

I probably should bolt the bed back down...

 

Yeah that would be a smart idea before you start driving lol

 

I still have to weld the bedsides back on.

That squeaking of the loose bedside rubbing together in the wind is driving me insane.

 

Probably drives your parents and neighbors insane too

 

I had to put it all together.. even with my discount both sides with all the parts was like 700 bucks. Regular prices is probably well over 1600

 

Started doing the Satoshi mod. Still have a lot of work to do, this was just a test fit.

 

My neighbor has a dog that howls 24/7. The squeaking bedsides are actually a refreshing sound.

 

That dog is annoying

 

Low range and both marlin crawler wanted to charge me an arm and leg, ended up ordering the seat from LCE, the guy I spoke with said that they are all from the same manufacturer

 

Got my gussets welded up and painted (well picture shown is just primed, was too dark for actual paint)



Also got all of the bolts loosened except for the hard lines on the old rack. New bushings in the new rack, ready to rock and roll (hopefully) on Saturday. Just need to get more fluid to refill the reservoir


New LBJ bolts will be here Saturday (thanks @se7enine ) hopefully truck will be up and running Sunday

 

I posted a couple days ago about the snap rings on my UBJ’s not fitting, luckily rockauto has a good return policy and I’m sending them back. They were definitely pressed in as far as they would go in. Hopefully the ones from camelback work properly..
