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

What’s a good source for inner tie rods. I can’t remember what I went and a buddy is asking

 

I was looking around and partsgeek.com looked good for 555's. Part number I wrote down for my 2000 was W0133-1603074.

 

Fabbing upna front skid plate with 3/16th plate.

 

I went with the 555 inners from Low Range last year

 

I’m pretty sure that’s what I went with, out I couldn’t find the email from low range, could only find the outers.

 

It’s not what I’ve done to my first, but what I want to do...looking for an access cab camper shell. Lemme know.

 

I feel like I have a slight vibration in the truck at idle. I did change the carrier bearing(which shouldn’t affect it at idle?) and changed the battery. Plugs are about 30k old, maybe ones missing firing at idle?

 

Misfire should throw a code I would think. Rough idle I would be looking at maybe cleaning the throttle body if it hasn't been done in a long time. 30k on the plugs isn't that much, I know the copper ones get changed around then usually but a lot of people go longer than that.

 

How's your iac valve... Pull the throttle body and clean the fuck out of it

Than replace every vacuume line

Than I'd do plugs and wires

That's cleaned up the idle on all 4 clapped out ancient Toyotas I've had assuming the injectors are fine

 

could be a lot of things.

Hows your motor/tranny mounts?

Do you have any pending codes?

 

Mounts look good, and no pending codes. Throttle body was removed and cleaned about 30k ago as well. I might do that again. It’s not very bad. But it’s noticeable. I don’t see any visible indications that would cause it.

 

How high can a 3.4 motor without a supercharger be raised without hitting the hood?

 

you have an 01 so higher than mine, I probably have only 1'' of clearance. Id imagine it's a bit more with the later hood. But don't have a blower on my 03 to check.

 

Are the rear drivelines for MT trucks the same across all years of 1st Gen trucks?

There’s a relatively low mileage one at a junkyard nearby from a 2000 that I’m looking at picking up so I can have the prop shaft shortened for a crawl box install (assuming it’s the complete 2-piece assembly). Just want to make sure I’m not wasting money on something that isn’t compatible with my 2002.

 

Okay what ever demon was vibrating the truck this morning is gone. Weird

 

Bout to spend nearly 3k on the slug. AMA

 

For 3K you can buy a fresh rebuild

 

But can it be installed, and everything else done amongst it?

 

If you guys have a Mall Crawler or Broverlander then this accessory is a must have to get EAF points from all the friends you think you have. The GB needs some traction... pun intended
