007 TACO PRO ....

Sure am,
I have a 1977 Honda CT70 that i'm slowing rebuiding.
engine's fully rebuilt by me, just need to get the carb and throttle figured out.
Carb was rebuit at time of engine, but I cant tune it correctly. Too lean. I think its just worn out TBH. the mini's taken a back burner due to the Taco needing some love and less time now that I have two boys to take camping.

 

you got me beat,
I'm @ 422,xxx

Keep up the good work!

 

I have been having issues with loosing coolant for awhile now

Decided to try some gm coolant tabs

And holy f they worked knock on wood !!!!!

I know this is only a bandaid but chasing a bad head gasket or where ever this is leaking from on a high km truck does not seam like a good idea as it would probably be a can of worms

 

20cm of snow and guess what decided to not work

Passengers side wiper ugh

 

Hi Jon!

When you replaced the steering shaft, I guess you did had to lock the wheels/steering? Just saw my joint is shot and need a new one lol

 

@Kemosabe i did or you will mess up the clock spring. MARK everything so it lines back up

 

Thanks Jon!
Dropped the truck for alignment tomorrow. should get that shaft sometime in may lol

 

Soooooo bit of a update on the truck.

Last month sometime I was taking Parker to daycare on a Friday morning then we were going to hit the highway to drive 3 hours to the cabin.

Someone was looking out for us

Got in the truck and went to back out of the driveway and the steering wheel turned and started clicking but the wheels were not turning. Holy fuc# the steering shaft stripped out. This turned my stomach thinking of the whatIFS

When Toyota did the frame years ago they said I needed a new lower intermediate steering shaft. A friend gave me his old worn out one so I could rebuild it and just do the swap. Even did a write up for TW

I looked at the u joint and it was tight. Thought this was just a money grab for when they had the frame apart so i put the rebuilt one on the shelf.

The need for a new steering shaft was not due to the worn u joint it was the lack of splines on the lower end that goes on the rack as this is what stripped out.



for F sakes glad that happened in the driveway !!!!

when it stripped out it also took the clock spring with it in the steering wheel when I turned it and it did not stop

 

That could have been real bad!

 

I got this t4r to donate some parts to the 007 Taco Pro build

No key with it so I took the dash apart and have the switch for the ignition removed from the key added a battery but no signs of life yet

 

I plan on taking the engine trans and t case out to have a a spare for the 007

 

Rear end for a coil spring conversion!!!!!!!!! Flexy taco time.

 

Cleaned up the posts on the battery still no power ..... someone cut the main line going to the fuse block in the engine ....... let me see what i can do with that

 

Soooo Hotwire was not the solution as the key is chipped ffs ! Got the original key off the Po and it fired right up

 

Killing the 04 Tacoma

 

08 T4R your next !

 

Started to kill the t4r tonight
