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

Something tell me this ain’t right

 

What relocation bracket did you install there?

 

Depends on what year it is. 01 up should be electric. I believe the vacuum ones default to 2wd

 

So what's the easy way to blinker relocate on a 04? Or what's the go to write up? See a couple and it was crazy how hard it looked

 

I relocated mine into my corner lights, it's very easy.

Defaults to 2wd.

The main relay for the vacuum system is in the passenger kick panel but would make the dash light come out . The relay valves in the bay I can imagine would be getting fucked up

 

Possible one of the VSV's is letting a little bit of vacuum by.

 

If I gap plugs at .044 instead of .043 is that a problem? Service manual says .043. Gauge I have skips from .040 to .044.

 

@turbodb if you jack up one front wheel and spin it have the engine running to produce vacuum for VSV switches.

 

The dual electrode spark plugs the V6 calls for should be pre-gapped. .044 will be fine.

 

Changed the engine oil and I might as well just forgone the drain pan and just laid out half a box of pig mat aka industrial maxi-pads to soak up the oil.

 

Thanks Jon.

About what mine looked like when trying to pour out the waste oil in a jug. I think I got three quarts in the jug and the rest on the floor.

 

I flushed my engine by forgetting the drain plug. Pretty neat

 

That's still cheaper than an engine oil flush at Jiffy Lube

 

Probably, I don’t know if the dirty nasty stuff in the oil was from the engine or the floor though.

 

see floor , oil accumulated, can i drive 20 miles to shop or need to paid tow truck service ?

 

I swapped on the Centric rotors and Akebono pads today. Wow, I think it's the first time the taco hasn't vibrated while braking since I've owned it, last 2.5 years or so. Braking from high speed feels so nice now. I guess it feels normal lol
