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

Upper and lower ball joints
New outer tie rod ends
New ome 881s
New bilstein 5100
New top hats

also swapped on a non rotten fender
Didn’t really take a lot of pics didn’t want my phone to get greasy.

fender pic is what I took off. The new one is the same color and year just no rust hole

 

I've been looking at a couple of new releases from Diode Dynamics. I've seen the 'sports' in person and they are amazing.

I like the look of the SAE fog option on the sports. Price seems pretty decent too.

 

Is that a 34"

 

Buy me a set while your at it

 

I feel like LED lights might be jumping the gun on both of your trucks. One is still only primer and the other one doesn't even have a body or an engine

 

Shots fired, to think, we were friends.



tundra needs some kinda light. Almost hit a damn deer tonight in the avalon. I’d be pretty pissed if I did in the tundra.

only thing that made me see it was the stupid bright headlights

 

Do they make ditch light brackets for the first gen tundra? I didn't really care for my ditch lights on the Tacoma, they're too high a position to be particularly useful for anything. But if you aim them off to the side they are pretty good for checking out what's off to the edge of the road

 

Baja knock off looks like. Wonder how the RF sheilding is.

 

Yes they do. I do plan on getting some. Just because I’m constantly driving on roads where side light would be a beautiful thing

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same Cambodian kids making them. But diode Dynamics does offer an 8 year warranty and claims they've been in business for over a decade. If it's not just an outright lie that's kind of impressive, have to be at least decent clones

 

They are made in St Louis apparently.

But the overall look of them is very much like the bajas. Their optic design looks cool though. Wish they made a two led version. I'd get a pair of those for the little truck for fogs.

 

Could someone help me find the part numbers for a few different seals?

A340F- need front and rear seals
Transfer case seals- Ive located these already
front differential- are there any seals here that I will want to replace other than the ones on the CV axles?

Any other seals that I will want to replace during my 4wd conversion? Plan to leave my rear main seal alone as it currently is looking pretty good.

 

I know right

Im biased to 15s

 

I second on those

 

It's actually sugar maple from an old tree that went down in a friends yard. I got a bunch of nice pieces turned from that tree. The gear pattern is from a steel number stamping set I got from Harbor Freight. Just tap the numbers in, hit it with a sharpie, and spray on a finish. I recommend Helmsman or some other outdoor finish, because it'll hold up better to constantly being handled.

 

It’s just a strip of window tint that the tint shop put on there. The Tacoma decal came from eBay I believe

 

is the decal on the exterior of the windshield?

 

The front output shaft seal for the A340F is: 90311-38029

I have a new, unused one I did not need. I also have a used flex plate in great shape with both sets of mounting nuts. PM me if you need any of these things

 

Yup hard to beat.

Wide cornering pattern btw.
