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

Id leave it in the console. But I work in the bad part of town so out of sight out of mind is key.

 

I'm fat and can do it fairly easy.

 

I have a hell of a time getting it done, and I'm skinny. The seat belt gets in the way.

 

That’s what she said.

 

Body type probably. We all do what works for us. I would prefer the center console, but I have no safety and holster is iwb. But really if I'm in a vehicle driving I'm going to do everything I can to not use it.

 

Was on the 4Runner, but applies equally to the Tacoma... Replacing Rear Brakes

​

 

I was about to say I'm 5'9 and the steering wheel is already 1-2 inches from my knee in certain positions as is.

IMO Would work well with other bigger trucks ya, but this idea would bust my shit up slapping gears in particular. Would probs work for some tho, no offense

 

This is my first real post, but I just installed my ARB Simpson III RTT. I don't know which Toyota is older, the truck or the forklift. Either way, they both still work great. lol

 

Finally got to replace my motor mounts after 16 years ! What a difference

 

Need to do mine. Did you lift the motor by the oil pan??

 

It was such I nice day I decided to clean out the taco..started on the driver side took about five min then went to passenger side and noticed the floorboard was soaked...ran a garden hose over the windshield and found a leak coming in around the a/c drain grommet...waiting on the silicone to cure to test it out. Hopefully it fixes it before the rainy season gets here

 

Yes along with a hoist which wasn’t really difficult , it’s my 5 lug 2rz ,mounts are easy to remove compared to the v6 , both mounts are exposed

 

hey man, how'd u know they were shot? visual inspection, or there was shaking? Good job btw

 

When shifting the engine it would pull hard, I Pressed the gas while holding the brake in Drive and confirmed my driver side was the one with more movement

 

ah so it's actually really noticeable then. Thank you! Btw check my post in the other thread about 5 lug coils man!

 

The drain tube may be clogged. Don't forget to check and clean it out.

 

There should be a metal tube that drains past the firewall. I've had it clog up before, a piece of wire works well to clean it. I put a tube on it as well so it wouldn't drip right on the frame.

 

I thought it dripped on the nice and hot exhaust on the V6 trucks...

 

I had the drain tube and gromet completely out to silicone the inside firewall side of the gromet. I could tell it wasn't the tube because with the water hose on the windshield it was coming inside the firewall without the truck running. Thanks for the heads up though.

 

That's where mine drips. Makes a funny sizzling sound when i shut the truck off.
