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

Fuck you

 

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing that truck for sale here in AZ. Clean truck.. I want to do my windshield as well once it gets replaced.

 

Yup!! Sat on offerup for about 6 to 8 weeks. They were asking 11,500 for it initially. I got it for 6800

 

1st gen's not going anywhere.

More to be revealed.

 

Just completed the WBDR

 

Replaced my backup light switch, now I have reverse lights again!

 

Pulled the transmission and transfer case out, found the issue, ordered new part and rebuild kit. Now I sit and wait. Oh and the truck only has 85000 miles on it.

 

Pulled trigger on a set of OME 883's, as I am going to be in there replacing a CV with a busted boot. Autozone lifetime warranty, so no real cost for CV. According to them, I had purchased remanufactured, back in '07, and now they no longer do reman's, so they replace with a new part, and they eat the difference. Since they aren't doing reman's, I am guessing the core will just go in dumpster. May try to con them out of it, and reboot for a trail spare.

 

Follow up post.

Took it off road this past weekend. Lots of washboard and some rocky/bumpy off road.

Phone never moved and the mount was solid in the blank plate.

 

Might as well throw a crawl box in it. Lol

 

Sweet. It has been years since I have done any of that route. Did you get to do any of the northern half of the WaBDR?

Iff you think of it, post up your pics over here in this thread:

Yes, we did the entire route starting at the Canadian border and worked our way south. Some great mountain roads up there. I’ll check that thred out! Thanks

 

Nice work! Say, I'm curious about those two hoses you have connected on top of your throttle body. Where do those hoses go? I have the same ports on mine but they are capped off. I've always wondered what they were for.

 

That's what I did. Much happier with the battery being more snug again.

 

Oh I found a friend down at Toyota technical training



totally not the right thread. But fuck it it is a 1st gen. Just the wrong model

 

May have to do this as well, ever since my clutch job my reverse lights are finicky. Need to dig into it more

 

Those two lines are for emissions depending on how or when your truck was made and if it was a California emissions EGR setup

 

Relaced my steering wheel cover. Leather was still perfectly fine, just had an area where the thread had worn, where I hook my thumb when road cruising. Used the two needle, baseball stitch, with some heavier nylon thread.

 

Nice job, did you replace the “fan bracket” has a bearing in there? This item for whatever reason is not part of the
timing belt items to be replaced and should be.

If this bearing locks up it CAN take out your radiator, shroud cover, fan, fan clutch etc.
I replace mine with every timing belt change.
This bearing has locked up on me two times over 630,000 miles so it’s replaced every 100,000 now.
