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

As long as it started to drip out of the fill port it's got all it needs, you'll be good

 

True, but I already had an order I had to make to Low Range and figured I’d just throw them in as well. I only need them to get me another 6 months or so, then I’m getting some MCM uniballs. Was going to order those instead back in March/April, but that’s when all the Covid stuff was kickin off and I wasn’t sure how solid my employment was and needed to tighten up the spending.

I would rent the adaptor set to get them pressed in, but I’m working out of a carport and don’t have a bench or vise available. I know it can be done, but it’s been 100+ and working outside blows, so I figured the $60 I’m paying to have them pressed in is worth it. Plus I’m getting pretty comfortable with working on the front end now, which is nice plus.

So there’s my life update haha

 

Thanks for the reassurance!

 

This thing paid for itself 10x in the year and a half I’ve owned it. Easily one of my best buys

 

Dah!

 

Made some progress on my jerry can mount, hopefully I can finish it up tomorrow.

 

Hey guys. I had a clock delete and cant seem to find it now. Anybody know the part #

 

What did you put in it’s place? I never use mine lol

 

Did some truck stuff this weekend. Pulled a tree and loaded up the bed with top soil and sod to fill in the hole. the rear was squatting with the dirt and mulch from the tree.

 

Sweet truck.

Mind if I ask you what your rack set up is? I’m looking at doing something similar with my DC and am hoping that the front and rear line up level (yours seems very level or close to it) without the front being permanent.

I have a can high topper too FWIW.

 

A clock? Lol. I had used it as a blank and would hang my ham radio on it. But the magnet was garbage but i found a good one and wanna run it again. If it holds, my clock will be for sale. I just cant find it in my junk

 

There are 7 different 194 bulbs on superbright leds.com soo which ones are ideal for our gauge cluster backlights

 

Two things.

1) replace the valve on the Front Runner jerry. It's shit. Just go to the hardware store and grab any old metal ball valve and swap it. My Dad used lever one which works great.

2) if you do #1 as above, you never have to remove the jerry can. Just make sure the space below the valve via a notch or drilled out hole. Now you have water available at any time while leaving it in the holder. Just twist the lever and hold you bottle under it. Boom. It's awesome.

 

I just got mine in the mail the other day expecting it to have the clock cut out but its deleted. I will still use it regardless. It's part # 55408-04080

 

Thanks for the tip! I’ll go grab a new valve! And yes I notched the angle iron so that I don’t have to remove it! I’m excited about that!

 

Thanks brotha

 

I may have one under the house, I'll check for you tomorrow.

 

Your awesome brotha. I ordered one earlier tho. But thank you so much

 

Great idea

And it’s funny. On their website they sell an upgraded brass fixture/tap you can buy separately. Ummm...it’s a $60 water jug, think you might want to use it in the first place?

 

Dude that is such a badass install. Do you think it’ll get hot in there with no airflow? And do you have it on a switch up front?
