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

Here's my results.

 

Lithium grease for poly or?

something I can get at autozone or sumthin

 

Red n tacky

 

I went molly stuff at oriellys

 

I just finished up the trans cooler install. I added the in-line filter that Timmy recommended in his 4runner video. I used his video as a go by for the plumbing.

 

Rust removal and por 15 application on back of the truck

 

Did run it before or after the radiator?

 

Got her a cap Friday night. Washed her Saturday morning, them washed, claybar’d her, some paint correction buffing, polished and the carniba’d her. Now to get shell finished up nice.

 

Wait I’ve never heard of this.. whats the benefit?

 

I just ordered wheelers shackles and received ome shackles. I talked with their customer service and they say they're the same, just with wheelers bushing kit and will work with non ome springs. Anyone with experience?

 

Got an oil change today, been running full synthetic, mobile one for the last 4 oil changes 20k and zero leaks so far

 

got me a 40mm ammo can. Added a gas strut to it and a hinge to open it easier. Going to add a slide out drawer back of the truck bed near wheel well.

 

Yep. What I have with alcan leafs.

 

Awesome, thanks.

 

I forgot to mention something when I posted this the other day about replacing my muffler/tailpipe assembly. If your tailpipe is still original and is being replaced, the last 4 inches or so can be cut off and used as the coupling you need to attach the new muffler to the center section of exhaust pipe. It is over-sized and is just right for joining with 2 1/2" clamps.

 

Started taking the Alcans off the 99 to put on the 02 next week.

got everything off the drivers side but the front hanger bolt... so I gave up for the night.

gonna pick up a benzo torch and sawzall blades tomorrow after work

 

I plumbed it after the radiator.

Changed the oil in the ol girl...realized its been a whole year since.... Fuck you covid..... It was also in the shop for 6 months out of the year since labor day


But it was nice to get her all fresh fluids

 

I over heated my engine just before Halloween. Crank bolt backed out while on the interstate so I lost all my accessories, ran into a traffic jam caused by an accident and quickly blew the radiator apart. I picked up a JDM engine and have been working on getting it ready to drop into the truck. It's been a slow, fun project. Mainly slow because I work a lot and have 2 kids. My dog also needs a lot of attention. Here's some pics of the progress thus far.
