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

Looks awesome and sounds fun

 

Clean and makes me want windoors on my shell haha

 

Some parts are difficult. From a distance I think it looks pretty good. This color really collects dirts in the morning dew though. Some of the tight corners need to be cut and have a seam. If I get 1-2 years out of it I’ll be happy. Plan is to repaint it (maybe) still with the flaws in my first time amateur wrap job it looks greats.

 

Wrenchin on ma truck with the Man in Black playin the tunes.

Life gets better than this... but this is good for right now

 

Did the Honda Odyssey windshield fluid sprayer nozzle mod on my 04. I love the low profile of the OEM nozzles but the spray pattern (if you can call it that) is wretched.

 

My tundra has the same spray as the Honda ones... I wouldn’t doubt they’d fit too

 

Oooh nice. The low profile is definitely what I want. Can you adjust them up/down? Laterally?

 

The OEM nozzles do more splooge than spray

 

Great question... I don’t know. Don’t think so but they cover the truck windshield

 

Took a break from TW. Been catching up over the last 3 days on this thread and I can’t wait to get home to wrench on and drive my 1st gen!

 

70km snowmobile trail run to the mt. peyton chalet.

 

Yeah, I agree. The two splooge hits don't cut it driving up a wintry mountain pass. This is my 98. Driver = Honda (before I adjusted it), Passenger = OEM.

 

At least yours did the double splooge per nozzle lol, mine are just a single shot

 

That's a good grinder

 

Like this cracking issue?
mine never had mudflaps so I never knew there were brackets.
Something new to fix

 

Anyone have a parts list for the oil pump timing chain job on a 3rz, mine isn't leaking but I may as well do it while it doesn't have a doesn't have a front diff

 

Easy enough to make some brackets for, when I removed my flaps I cut the brackets off with a sawzall so it still had the fender reinforcement bit.

 

You planning on taking the timing cover off huh? It's uh, not fun to reseal and squeeze under the head gasket

 

Fuuuuuck that, just gonna pour a shit ton of stop leak In that bitch if it leaks

 

I didn't want to do it, and I had had my chain replaced 3 years prior to my little teardown anyway, so I figured that was recent enough for a lifetime part haha. They do stretch and will throw off timing eventually, but it's pretty uncommon on the 3RZ. The oil pump is probably fine too unless it's really been stressed, the 3RZ is known to scare people who throw a pressure gauge on them, often with a 15psi idle pressure that only increases 10 or so per 1k rpm. But that's normal for them.
