This is a good looking Tacoma hombre

 

stupid dealer service departments and their scare tactics to get the TB changed soon or else major engine damage

 

exactly! earlier this year i got a hatch job of a VCG done and they told me its been long time since the TB was changed and needed to do it soon OR ELSE major engine damage!

 

In no time flat, we'd reached the water crossing. And, while I guess it was technically a water crossing, to suggest that it was any kind of trouble - much less the kind that deserved a skull and crossbones on the map - was pushing it.

For good measure, we went through three times. You know, just to make sure we didn't miss anything.

[part 1] [part 2] [part 3] [part 4]​

 

i first had the TB and water pump changed at 92k and that was in 2oo7, i think they (dealer service dept.) were getting at if the belt broke then the engine would be seriously damaged. TW has educated me otherwise

 

Took the fenders off and put some bolts in to fill the square holes. Came out great, a lot better than I expected.

 

have you done a rear seat delete?

 

rear seat delete, take out the rear seats and make more storage units, space, etc.

 

Honestly i’ve really thought about it but its great having the extra seats when my friends and I go to the mountain or the desert because a lot of them have 2 seaters lol. But i probably will do it in the future and build a whole storage setup back there.

 

are you doing the rear seat delete in your 4runner since the cover is not an option for you?

 

cool i like that!

 

Wanna build something similar to this in my back seat eventually when it becomes more of a camping rig than a work truck. I wanna make a drawer system type deal w/ a slide out fridge somewhere in the mix.

 

a true salesmen..lol

 

maybe he could pay you in 'likes' ?

 

Take it to the lunch room, kids. Let's get back on track with the What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition.

I read the service manual and this thread and planned out a bunch of front end work:

• replacing LCA bushings (
  $101 Whiteline W53377A - Control Arm - Lower Inner Bushing - Front
  Whiteline W53377A)
• replacing all CV boots with OEM ones
• front differential fluid change
• Replacing headlights with new CAPA-certified replacements
• Ordered new high-wattage headlight bulbs

 

Thats an expensive drawer! lmao looks really good tho from the pic. Staining it would really make it pop.

 

Patches can now pretend to breathe underwater.

 

I don't understand the snorkel concept, if you're in water near the bottom of the snorkel, won't you drown inside the cab?

 

and don't you also need an exhaust out snorkel somewhere?
