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

Clutch master/slave aren't to expensive to replace if they haven't been changed already. Trans jack or modified jack will help, I've only ever done the clutch with the engine out so I don't have much to offer. Bread or wet paper to punch out the old pilot bearing.

 

Wouldn't replace them. You can rebuild the slave and that's the one that tends to go bad.

 

The slave is a $20 part. For some people it's less headache to just replace.

 

Only three parts on it. Pretty easy to do.

I added a unistrut rail to the inside of the bed and used a couple cone nuts and quick fists to create a sliding shovel mount. Allows me to remove the shovel without having to get into the bed of the truck. Simplifies things with my campershell. It’s not prefect but for my first idea and not finding anything like it I’m kinda proud of myself!

 

Seems pretty easy, I'll look into it and maybe do it later down the road. Or just do it all at once I've got some time to decide

 

Wheeled it last week.

Probably buying a used engine tomorrow. At 292k miles, mines on its last leg.

 

That is a great fucking photo


Kinda want to make it my desktop pic haha

 

maybe its getting ready to tell a funny knock knock joke

 

Jealous!

 

Thanks!

It's my new desktop background.

Yep. Oil is full of bearing material. I'll inspect further after I pull it.

 

More parts have arrived.

 

Nice!! Don’t forget the steering rack bushings!

 

I need to order a new stake nut before I do my carrier bearing...thought I might just re-use the old one since the videos I watched showed them reusing it, but on here I've heard that it sometimes gets fubar'ed when you take it off. Worth the peace of mind to just pick up a new one I guess

 

Takes some guts to leave the windows up and doors shut when you jump out to film your truck crawling along the side of the road, haha. I'd be afraid it would lock itself and I'd have no way to get in it or stop it for that matter.

Really jealous of that mod, especially since I've got a 5spd...super low range would be awesome for crawling in 1st gear without worrying about stalling or frying my clutch.

 

Installing 4.56s 3rd member into the rear tonight, does anyone have tips with dealing with the E locker? Or is it just a matter of pulling the actuator and everything else is straightforward? I was told by my local forum crew that I may need to manually lock the locker before removing the 3rd. Tips?
