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

Did you peel the silicone off the ecu harness flange or was that just mine

 

lol...negative. I'll post a pict tomorrow when it's daylight.

 

It would be a shame if someone stole it, took it mudding than parked it back on your driveway where you left it

 

not this shit again

 

No silicone. I've only used 303 Aerospace on all the rubber / vinyl parts since being purchased.

 

Ok than i guess it was just mine that had silicone smeared on it

 

uuuuuu yeah, that would be bad. That would bring tears to my eyes. My Yoda would probably break down ...."what is this black, red (if you live in GA) substance all over me?" "I've never seen this before"

 

FFS.....good job man. Impressive.

 

Anyone need bushings

 

Is the Lower control arm set worth it? Don’t really want more poly busing that will squeak. But a more controlled ride would be worth it.

 

My energy suspention bushings never squeaked i offroaded it a fair amount mud is pretty much all i get where i live

 

The steering and handling feedback will be worth it. The squeaking will be entirely up to your choice of lube and cleaning/relubing habits

 

Excellent timing.

 

That is awesome. I thought my truck was clean. Pffffft. Now I see what clean is.

 

Just make sure you absolutely cover them in this stuff before you put it back in.

it plays nice with poly bushings. Other lubes can have issues or not really do what it's supposed to. It's great to have too. I use it everything.

I didn't lube mine enough when I first put them in and had to pull them back out later because the squeak was driving me nuts.

 

More progress but ran out of welding gas

 

It takes some patience and organization for sure. I just took my time taking each panel off bagging the bolts and cleaning the panels thoroughly before putting them back in. Started at 9:15 and didn’t fully finish til 5:30. Took a while but I believe it’s simple enough that anyone can handle it. If anyone has any questions on it hit me up

 

Yeah I use superlube for my other stuff. But I still have to grease them fairly often of they make a lot of noise.

 

Yikes looks just like mine with 150k...........just the opposite.

 

Added a RTT lift system and ratchet straps for storing my tent in my shop. I’m very happy with how it turned out!
