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

I used the pulley that it came with yeah.

 

yeah looks like the front:

 

Awesome thanks! Hopefully this thing starts up soon

 

Yeah, that thing is in horrible shape. Have you looked at the other side yet?

 

Yup, all the way out to the forward edge.

 

Well it started right up! Only thing is I can't remember if there was a slight ticking (louder maybe??) of the cams prior to replacing everything or not. Could just be me worrying. No leaks as of yet

AC blows cold, just gotta flush the fluid a few times to add Toyota Red, and tighten up the belts one last time.

Any concerns that I should look into after doing the timing belt/water pump? Is the "louder" ticking of the cams concerning at all?

 

Drove it to go get beer.

 

Did a trail

 

Yeah pretty rough.

Other side seemed okay. I thought about replacing it too but didn't have the bolt. And I need the truck so have to wait.

 

Awesome.

 

what brand of beer?

 

That’s an 01-04 thing

 

Changed my door lock that was broken. This video on YouTube was extremely helpful and made the job easy. Only took an hour to complete the job.

Bought these new ones on eBay. They came as a set, only needed the drivers door

I think only 2001-2004 require resisters. By the look of it these have them. I just ordered 3 and will have my fingers crossed.

EDIT: Looks like @Empty_Lord already said that. x2

 

so got my tundra brakes installed with the banjo bolts and wheelers lines, but one side is still leaking.
Gonna try some new crush washers tomorrow.

If I can't get it to stop leaking, I guess I'll go to the hardlines?

But how do you get the hardlines to work with spindle gussets?
Cutout the lower part of the spindle gusset where the hardline runs into?



Edit: I guess you just have to bend the bracket and hardline a bit....

 

Ripped the old core support and started mocking up its replacment.

 

Superbrightleds? Let me know if they work on your ‘03. I’d like brighter interior lights but i don’t feel soldering a bunch of aftermarket shit together for that to happen. Just want to put a bulb in.

 

Off topic but that “check engine” light in your garage looks sharp.

 

I changed all mine to LED without resistors. They work fine in my 04 DC. I can’t remember if they were from O’reilly’s lol or somewhere else. Never had a problem though.

 

Good to know, thanks!
