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

We talkin LBJs? I thought it was adivsed to use the blue stuff on them...I would never use red though. Mine have to come off too often with every goddamn CV axle I have to replace.

 

I use red. Never have problems taking red loctite off

 

Yeah I've never used loctite on my LBJ bolts. Never had one back out. But there are guys who swear you need to. There was talk not too long ago about people saying to use red on them.

 

Relocated my turn signals.

 

Isn't red supposed to require heat to break loose? I thought that was what made it different from the blue stuff, or maybe there are different classes of each.

 

By hand usually. Impact gun can get it loose. Also depends on how clean the threads were when applying & the size of the fasteners. Speaking of which I use 243 the most rather than the common 242.

I have red loctite on the bolts for my UCA uniballs. Impact gun takes them off easily.

 

Speak of threadlock always reminds me of this pic.

 

Looks good. I did something similar. What sort of socket and bulb did you use?

 

I actually just copied your setup and ordered the linked parts you posted. In addition, I picked up an EP-35 LED relay to eliminate the hyper-blink. This is a much easier way to do the relocation than other ways I've seen. Thanks for sharing!

 

You’re “supposed” to replace the bolts every time, like ubolts.

 

Obviously a lot of people do, there was just a huge conversation about bolts.

 

Broke my budget--hope it is worth it
.

 

My ‘02 just hit the 100,000 mile mark today!
And she’s still going strong!

 

That picture you quoted has new ubolts.

Fair enough, I thought I remembered people saying to replace LBJ bolts.

 

Still going strong? Pss, that's barely even broken in!

 

DAMN!! That thing is incredible. Insane engineering to.

 

Just stop

 

No, you just ramble on about stuff that doesn’t really matter all that much haha.
