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

for all my weird under the hood engine compartment noises in the last 30 years, I've always used a 3-4 ft wooden closet pole. but I'm sure a smaller diameter wooden dowl would work just fine. I've used this method to find out which bearings were bad, alt, psp, you name it. works great for valve train noises also. Wood is a great conductor for sound, and if you ding it up a little bit, its really cheap to replace.

 

Threw the new high clearance bumper on. Still need to paint and install the swing out though

 

Looks good. Did you make it? Have a build thread? I have a similiar bumper that I want to add a swing out too. Interested to see yours

 

Hmmmm... Is the Ebay snorkel worth it? I feel like if I don't now it'll only increase in price

I would still think at $150 it isn't bad because it actually fits properly compared to the Hilux option and its much cheaper than the real Safari option

 

It was made by Coastal Off-road. Check them out. Highly recommended. It’s the first rear bumper for a first gen taco.

Here’s my build thread

@Area51Runner i can confirm the sequoia diff fits the Tacoma axles....

 

I don't need the darn thing.. I don't cross water or even get onto crazy dusty roads often. Maybe later on in the trucks life, for now the stock box will do. Plus I think the fiance will kill me if I buy another truck part...

 

I bought it st that price last week

 

It is way way to far off to make it even work. The mounting holes are about an inch off overall. It needs new longer tabs or something to make it work correctly

 

Thx for the confirmation. More options ...

 

It would seem sequoia only came with 4.10. Might be the easiest option. Everything seems to be identical to my trucks original diff

 

I got 2 of these and cut each pouch end left and right and sewed both of them together to cut out the center pouch that has the husky logo

 

They are Dakars but I don’t know if they are aal. I got them used.

 

Nice! I like the nod to the old Land Cruiser. One of the reasons why I painted my grille white just missing the old emblem.

 

Sorry. So I cut down where you see the red stiching on each side to seperate and shorten the pouches so they can fit the door, once cut I took both sides of each end and sewd them together then I used pop rivets to secure it down to the door

 

No worries man. Uploaded a pic hope thatll help a little

 

They look different than the regular Dakars to me but I can't be sure since I don't have them anymore...looks almost like maybe there's an extra overload leaf on them which is odd because the AAL doesn't go there. Anyway post up some pics when they're installed

 

They look like the shorter 95-97 ones.

 

Well..yeah of course it fits. It's the exact same 7.5" front diff.

1st gen tundras and 1st gen sequioas have the same drive line basically. Well same tcase and diffs.

Toyota didn't update the front diff till second gen tacos and tundras and 4th gen 4runners. Finally did the rear diff then for tundras and sequoias but left the rear alone in the Tacoma and 4runner until 2016. Way overdue by that point.
