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

Love the camper build man.

 

Got the frame for my logger box built, and got the box itself cut to shorten it. I’ll be welding hard the next couple days to get this done.

 

Yes, it worked perfect. My last 2 were unscrewed, but wouldnt come out with the socket. Sat there for 10 min and then realized it might work haha

 

Vac line huh? That's a good idea. I've always grabbed the dumb double jointed long nose pliers.
I like that vac line idea to get those PIA plugs out

 

.

 

straight to the point! I like it!!

 

Magnetic plug socket ftw.

 

Bought a factor55 ultrahook for my truck today! Have to wait for it to be shipped here. But excited for it.

 

If they are local, you should swing by, this is “blemished” and they had a few more left. They sell them at a discounted rate. I just emailed and asked if they had any. Super friendly and easy to get ordered.

 

In my town look at me like I’m crazy when I ask for two electrode ngk spark plugs and reject their auto lite duralast crap.

 

Auto parts store employees seem to rarely have a grasp of vehicle repair and diagnostics.

 

Anybody want a radiator? OEM Toyota, Lightly used, no leaks, 207,000 miles, 20 years old.
No low ballers, I know what I got.

 

1st Gen? No Leaks?

 

Out of a 2000 4x4 MT with a 2.7. No leaks. I replaced it because I don't trust the plastic tanks after 20 years.

 

Slather some jb weld over them and itll go another 20

 

I'll just give it a good crosshatch duct tape job and call it a day.

 

Bro if it’s twenty yrs old just fit it into your dumpster plz. Don’t make it someone else’s prob. Lol

 

Right? Its 2 hoses, 4 bolts for the fan shroud, 4 bolts for the radiator itself. I would have done it earlier, but I've only owned the truck for 2 years.

And in all honesty, it spent most of its life in northern Canada, not exactly weather that degrades plastic. Its probably good for a while yet. But, I had the truck apart anyway, may as well just get it done.

 

I'll hold onto it a bit, I might have some other uses for it. Solar heating has always sounded like an interesting project.

Should probably clean the bugs out first tho.
