    How do you grease the slip yoke? Have to jack up the truck and pull it out?

    There's a zerk fitting on it, but putting grease in there doesn't spread it around the way it should be. So taking it apart and doing it by hand is the best way.

    Heck, the first gen Tacoma may be the most versatile vehicle ever crafted..

    At the end of the event, everyone loved that the Tacoma was there to pick up all the cones from the lot when the fun was done! :D

    Here is another video clip from inside the cab, action starts at 2:15!

    Today I didn't do anything, yesterday I started to change the oil pump on the 2rz, the o ring seal for the cover with new bolts and a new crank seal too. It was never changed was leaking some oil. A new harmonic balancer too and new waterpump and new belts. Do it once do it right you know.

    I need a new set of fenders to cut. Searching shows all are the same and will bolt up but 5 lug is a little lower. Which years did NOT have the holes for the fender flares?

    5 lug fenders are a lot narrower as they don't have the OEM flare. Would not recommend.

    The corner light mount is also different so you'll have to swap corner lights.
