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

took of the stock bed liner that came with the truck I noticed this "small" pin hole in my bed probably caused because of the massive amounts of crap I found nestled under the bed liner Used some good oll rust converter on it, next step is to wire wheel it down and try and find a piece of scrap metal to weld over the top, maybe sandwich a second piece below it?, Its right by the wheel well. I mean there's nothing else much I can do right? I don't want to keep it open as Im trying to get a camper shell for the truck so I wont have to worry as much about water coming thought the top. Other then that also rust converted any open rust I happened to find near the rear springs and rear frame. At this point Im just finding things to do to the truck that are low cost or I already have the parts. hope all are well!

 

clean tub job!

 

So far it’s been solid, the two clips on the back are fairly beefy and positive when they click in.

I tried to keep the arm as short as possible to keep the leverage down as well.

Here’s the broken one so you can see the tab size

 

No. Full lock and full bump clears body mount, plus I still have adjustment in my spc control arms to pull tires forward.

 

Damn why do I feel like I'm the only one that needed to do that.

 

When on a nice little drive with my son yesterday. It was his first time driving offroad. It was definitely a proud dad day. We were in the 4runner (I know) that we rebuild the suspension on.
Hopefully you guys enjoy some AZ scenery.

I think my truck was mad at me when I got back home the battery was dead.

 

Lower/higher offset wheel setup? Not sure. I thought i would have to chop it but surprisingly it clears

 

They had the Dominos Noid back then too?

I just did Oil changed, 171 FL onces ( i know should be 176 / 5.5 q but i dont wanna overfilled... mark goes a little less than 1/2 way between dots. MOA 115 , mobil 1 full synthetic 1 yr/20,000 miles and mobil 1 / 1 yr protection , all $70

please pm the link to do zerks, its a nice write up some did not long ago, thanks to all

 

That MOA sure looks like some snake oil. Especially since you're using quality Mobil1 oil.

Anyway, here's my thread on the zerk positions. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/1st-gen-only-zerk-locations-on-4x4-driveshafts-9-total.352202/

 

hmm..that...doesn't look like a new tire...is it? I hope so

Youre not haha I had to cut the body mount a bit and also my sliders. 12.5 wide tires man.

Can see mine notched here

Yeah... i should save my $20 of the Moa like you said since good quality oil , i dont drive more than 10-12 thousand miles per year and it’s supposed to be 20,000 / 1yr protection... next time...
Thanks for the link ...

 

But is your oil filter rated for 20,000?

 

Planning on installing the rest of the sound deadening I have that I never got around to putting in.

Not sure if I have enough to cover both the floors and the back wall.

As far as noise blockage, what's the best mix of coverage? (Already did the doors)
Focus on the back wall first and use the remaining on the floor? Or the opposite?

 

I've never seen anyone else have to on a first gen besides Silas, and his 37s actually were close to clearing it. Well I guess cutting the front is kinda normal, but haven't seen someone remove the mount

 

@Madjik_Man is apparently the pro at this.

 

oh yeah.. is Mobil 1 too filter rated for 1 year or 20,000 miles ,

 

From what I've read most of the noise comes from the back wall.
What are you using??

 

Cut it open and take some pics

 

I bet there's filter media inside
