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

FUCK! Why can't this be listed in November when I'm working with a bonus check?

 

Probably.

Truck isn't exactly a performance machine so if it accelerates a little slower I don't think that would be a problem.

No they don't.

I've never had a throw out bearing make noise on my rig.

 

Just get it

 

Theres cleaner trucks out there. Heres a V6 Reg cab 5 speed that was near me a week or two ago. Absolutely immaculate inside and out.

 

Ya... but that one is $5000 more than the one that was listed above.

Could care less how clean it is. If I buy a standard cab 6cyl... 90% of the interior would be up for sale. The entire suspension, front diff, and rear axle, would be parted out. Half the bed floor would be cut out, fenders and bedsides, hood and tailgate would be sold ... etc etc.

Fun rubicon trip for memorial weekend

 

This one’s closer to that price range and falling, right down the road from me....

I went with daystar 1&1/4 lift shackle and I had 2 zerks pull out as well. My top bolt the one through the frame when I torqued it to the 60 something ft/lbs distorted the bushing and it don’t look right. Should I back it off or leave it. The bottom bolt looks fine.

 

If I pull the trigger on something it'll be a Standard cab V6... And damn... that thing is 2500 miles away from me. lol

 

I’ve done aisin in many daily driven cars and trucks. You can’t beat them for the price

 

Installed a trans cooler.

 

That’s a big ol cooler y’all got there

 

You can't go wrong with either since both have strong OEM reputations.
1.5 years ago, I put an Excedy in a friends 2014 V8 Mustang. He has money, and he has the car strictly as a toy that he, in his words, can abuse the hell out of. All he does is try to destroy tires. So far the clutch, just a Stage 1, is holding up fine.

 

He's the first person I've seen do the trans cooler mod right, BIG

 

I need to get a big one. Going to run a thermostat and bypass the original cooler all together.

 

Smart, that's my view on it too, either run a bypass thermostat (i don't think you can do a blockoff thermo) or run a big ass cooler with the stocker. I bought a thermostat for the Zs oil cooler line

 

I figured that with the auto valve that bypasses the atf until it's hot enough, might as well go big and have the cooling capacity when I really need it.

 

Russel makes a 160 degree t stat that will work perfectly for a trans

 

What cooler did you use? It looks like a
