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

No. Harrison made them.

 

Champion.

 

Getting a slight feeling of something shifting when going in reverse. Don’t seem to feel anything when drive. Retorqued my U-bolts the other day, going to crawl under the truck today and make sure everything else is still torqued like it should be after the my conversions. Wondering if the UJoints on this 4wd shaft are worn from the previous owner. No weird noises, only a feeling of something shifting flighty when in reverse.

 

Grease the u-joints and slip yoke if you haven't done it in awhile, I hit mine every other oil change. Check your carrier bearing too and see what kind of shape it's in. If the rubber it sits in is worn and cracked/split then it's time to replace.

 

All the u joints and slip yoke were greased when I put it on. Double checking all that was also on my list to look at while under the truck. Carrier bearing looked semi new, or replaced at some point at least. I did not inspect it before putting it on, but I will today.

 

I had a bad clunk/shift in the driveline that would happen with my truck almost every time I shifted gears especially under heavy load, I found that the trans mount bolt needed almost a full turn to get it tight and it seemed to take care of that issue. If you have a manual trans, I'm not sure if the mount is the same for the auto but it might be.

 

I managed to give google street view a peace sign.... I wonder how long until it's googlable

In Costa Rica if you give em a peace sign they give you 2 Tacos.

 

I’m automatic, but I’m going to check the torque in the trans mount and crossmemeber just as a precaution...even though I know I double and triple checked it when I did the install.

 

yeah sometimes they just need to be torqued again after driving around awhile, can't hurt to rule them out anyway.

 

I'm going to have to try this. I replaced 2 of my u-joints, greased slip yoke and my CB seems fine. But I still get a clunk every time I shift 1-4 gear or left off the gas in 1-3 gear

 

Just looking for a new Rad for the T100

Dang, surprised the current one is oem.

 

yeah it bugged the crap out of me for over a year, I greased my u-joints and slip yoke probably to the point of over-greasing them thinking that had to be the issue...until I tightened that big bolt on the trans mount and it seems to have taken care of it.

 

Anyone do a cv reboot with the SDHQ boots? If so what grease did you use?

 

I have the 1st gen leak... this is the passenger side. What is the best stuff to seal it with?

 

Did a console swap with a '00 4runner. Also painted it and the shifterconsole.

 

Also applied my window stickers and my bumper from Addicted Offroad finally arrived.

 

Love those boots. I use whatever is on the shelf for grease.

weird thing is those boots don't need clamps. I still added some for peace of mind

 

I cleaned my throttle body, codes immediately went away.

 

Harrison, but Denso will be fine, TYC has been good in mine. I'm not sold on the Champion alum one cause it only seems to fit half as well as any other option

 

Only thing stopping me from
Going to the aluminum one is the fit... but I will probably be going manual radiator with a beafy ass trans cooler
