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

Thanks for updating on this. I actually started my search from changing my fuel filter. I think it was getting clogged up. After installing the new one truck seems to be running much better. I reset the pending code and now waiting to see if it will pop up again. If it comes back next things im replacing is spark plugs, wires and maybe the coils depending on how the resistance tests.

 

I bought and hauled home some heavy lumber

 

Parts shipments arrived for this weekend's restoration project.

 

Yeah a&p. Have these bags in my pelican case, I get plenty of use out of them.

 

I believe like 6x12. I can check tonight. Their website Cumberlandconcepts has their sizes. I just get them at Walmart, damn cheap. Of course there are more sturdy brand like Klein and so forth but I have broken one bag in 2 years.

 

Cancelled all my plans for wrenching this weekend. Apparently it's going to rain, and I am going to be stuck on the phone with the IRS trying to pull their heads out of their arses. Keep saying my AGI from prior year doesn't match- I am pulling it off the damn 1040 from last year!

 

I don’t think I ever seen a 1st gen lifted so high shit was on like 8 inch blocks . 1300$ an inch There are a bunch out here lifted to sky.

 

Need help finding the best route on fixing the transmission shift solenoids for my 01 2.7l 4cyl 2x4 the codes are P0755 & P0750
Any ideas on how much and what to do

 

I have had good luck with installing an external inline filter on the return line from the cooler, and dropping the fluid in the pan, then refilling. Do this three times in succession (driving after each) and you will have the best majority of the old fluid out
It works because it clears the system of frag and trash in the transmission, and the external filter is a MUCH better filter than the screen in the transmission. Electronic trannies use solenoids, which are electromagnetic switches. That frag, particularly the ferrous stuff, wreaks havoc with them.

My wife's ZJ had a similar problem. I did the above and it has been fine ever since.

 

How did the truck do with all that weight

 

I think I did not exceeded GVWR.

 

Dang I’ve got a very similar carpet kit in my truck. Didn't think there was many of these left!

 

The carpet looks like it belongs in a 70's shag wagon

 

Maybe it's his 90's shag wagon!

 

Cool bud. I also changed my fuel filter. It's definitely a process of elimination of cheaper to most expensive parts. Hopefully that works for ya. Good luck.

 

Haha the bailey's whiskey and the drag trophy
looks comfy af lol

 

Funny thing, my son thought the same when I bought it. Actually he called it pimpmobile.

Ext cab back sits are not good for "back sit adventure", but the cargo area is - it has enough vertical clearance for conventional setup.

 

x2 on the pimpmobile aka shaggin wagon lol

 

I'd rock it

 

Sounds like you've carried alot of wood before
