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

Went for a drive

 

Jeezus!

This argument is still going on?

1st gen spindles are forged.

Cast does not bend...ever. it breaks.

 

We have too much in common to disagree haha. If you think it works that's good enough for me, maybe it does help the ring.

 

SAS and done.

 

Miguel... What did you do with dan

 

Thank you! Is there a bearing in the pulley attached to it? That's the noise mine is making, sounds like a bearing, unless the shaft within the pump can get worn out.

 

Wait! I thought the reason for doing this was because it makes the spindle look so sexy.

 

When you bring yours. I'll be sure to paint them gold after I'm done welding them

 

Found some snow at 2300m on Saturday.

 

The pump on 3.4 engines does not have any bearings anywhere.

 

I got it through Iron Man 4x4, they have various sizes and shapes on their site. I was going to use a frontrunner but it wouldn’t fit on my bedslide. The other option is an rv or boat tank but you have to compare prices.

 

New window motor-- it was missing 1 bolt on the bottom holding the glass, and 2 others were only hand tight.

It works great now. Glad to have it fixed

 

Not proud to say $350
But my wife got it for me for my birthday

 

Has anyone found a gun rack that fits our small cabs decent? Back window or back of cab

 

Went to Sebastian to spend the 4th of July listening to one of our favorite local reggae bands and found some stuff for sale anyone have a cheap solution to mounting a roof rack to the shell?

 

I was just looking in to this also.
Someone was just selling one of these.

Said it was really sturdy. There's a pic of a fist gen with one in the reviews.

 

I’m pretty sure that’s what we put in the side by sides.

just send a self tapper into the cab somewhere?

 

Sorry for the pics but have taken a bunch due to the eventual build thread and i love pictures.

Bought the truck a few months ago and have had zero time to do anything as I've started a restaurant mid-pandemic and have negative time to be giving it any attention. Today I tried to do a little cleaning real quick. First I was going to remove the seats and shampoo the entire interior...as you can see...i broke the SAME BOLT on both sides of each seat...TOYOTA WE LOVE YOU...but even your interior seat rail bolts seize and rust? So now on another day I will have to drill those out and get new bolts. Needless to say that wasted a decent amount of my sunlight as i started the day late. The truck was a 1-owner 5sp 2.7l and the old man had a 'Bedrug' in the bed of the truck, at first I hated it, but since I use my truck as a truck every day...this thing is glorious. So i moved onto the bed, took the rug out to of course find all the dirt, shampood said bedrug and cleaned the bed to reveal nearly new paint in most places. Cleaned up the trim and bumpers as best i could before running into MR. Creepy Crawler.

Next week truck goes in to get some life. New plugs, oil and filter, all new belts and completely new clutch. This was purchased due to my 4th gen 4R taking a dump on me. So now, the tacoma life has chose me, and the best gen in the second best color(my opinion) has landed in my lap. Big plans for the future and hopefully i can free up time to do this work on my own, can confidently due most if not all outside of a clutch due to lack of space. Suspension and wheels(which i already have) coming soon with some bits and pieces.

None truck!

I believe those bolts go through under the cab, you might have luck with some penetrating oil and vice grips from the underside.

 

Also they're m10 - 1.25
