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

Nice!! How thick is the metal and hows the quality? I've been wanting to get one of those and a new fuel tank, my tank is so smashed up it only holds like 10 gallons of fuel.

 

I figure if that wont break it loose, next option is an angle grinder... lol

I have a corded angle grinder, but now that I'm switching to Milwaukee cordless...

This is on my shopping list.

 

You wont.

And this. If anything it felt a little more clunky than the pennzoil I was running. Pennzoil makes a gl4 manual trans fluid that is approved to work with the Chrysler ax15 trans, which is the same aisin 5spd that's in the Tacoma. I'll probibly switch back to that at the next fluid change and save some $$$.

 

Pretty thick (3/16" according to their site) this might be some better shots to give you a better idea

1400 lbs of nut-busting torque, baby
i remember reading that term for the first time a few years ago on that tool when I bought it.... Kinda made me giggle

 

Cool thanks! I have seen it on their site, you are the first person that I have noticed that has one. Good feedback thanks!!

 

That's not the Penzoil syncromesh manual tranny gear oil is it??? That crap gave me amazingly smooth shifting

 

It is. All the hype in the jeep forums and I used to run it in my YJ. I believe the marlin rebuilt trans I have just says to use regular

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 gear lube, so who knows what these things really need. I used the synchro mesh to break this trans in and tossed the MT90 in because I had it. Next change I'm going back to synchromesh.

 

Speaking of Milwaukee cordless... I also got these.




So my options are open on M12 and M18 Batteries.



Also looking at a 3/8 M12 socket wrench and 3/8 M12 stubby impact to pack in the truck.

 

at least ur tank ain't rotted hole at the filler neck top connection and starts oozing out fuel at that capacity

 

Their m18 hammer drill is probibly my favorite tool.

 

Yes that would suck!!

 

I haven't run it in a manual Tacoma, but in other Aisin manual transmissions I have run it, I was sold on it. It sure improved my shifting even compared to brand new gear oil I had in it at first. Yellow bottle Penzoil 'Syncromesh', funny that stuff is making its way over here to Toyotas. I had it in a Aisin transmission in a Suzuki

 

is this MT-90 stuff not the bees knees?

 

it does suck, the old Corolla i got has this tank issue, its on its last legs no hope in saving the poor car!

salt really fucked it up back under there

FF may have saved it but IDK

 

yeah, I have an evap leak issue which I think is related to the rust going on around the tank and fittings / connections so I'm on the fence with a premptive replacement of my gastank... next time i'm over there I'll be doing a bit closer look at how bad the rust is...

 

Yea they are all the same trans basically. I found that pennzoil stuff because at the time the only fluid people said you can run was the Chrysler factory stuff that was like $17qt in 2001 dollars.

Busy day/week - got the timing belt and water pump done, valve cover gaskets done, threw on a Mazda 3 shift knob, threw on a Camry SE steering (though the cruise isn’t working yet), lighted ignition mod, and installed my modified 4Runner center console. Will see how the Scion headunit I got is going to look, so I might not keep the aux/usb/12 volt panel, but it was a fun Project to figure out.

Lastly, threw on some ‘04 flares to see what I think compared to the original ‘00 flares.
