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

Hit a local pick and pull- got the 4wd knob from a 4Runner and the shift knob from a RAV4 for $10 total. Try that.

 

Very nice, do you have a build thread?

 

How are you guys fitting 33’s in the factory spare spot?
Cut the back tabs on the bracket?

 

My approach

 

Well I got the bottom of the tire even with my hitch, good enough for me.


Also swapped the drivers exterior door handle for the metal one I’ve had in the back seats for a couple months. It was on the verge of breaking.

 

It’s from the dealer. I might still have the bag. I’ll get the part number when I’m home

 

Finished flushing the system and filled with Toyota Red. Everything seems fine except I'm seeing my AC compressor pulley (not the idler) is wobbling pretty significantly. So I guess I didn't do a good enough job at getting the new bearing in. Will have to look at that later as well as sourcing a new clutch just in case it's too far gone.

 

I've had mine in for a could months now. It's been working well, I don't see it breaking any time soon.

 

My passenger side has started to fade, I don’t if trim restorer will fix it or not.
Not really too worried about it though.

 

Replacing my front lower ball joints today. Just got the wheels off, is there anything I should clean while they're off?

 

Woop. Threw a p0303 . im thinking the plugs need to be changed. I do them every 25k. Maybe the coil pack? I have never changed those. Shes at 250k. Got her with 115k

 

FTFY

 

Not sure. Did this on my GX470. Worked from the top though...

 

More dual case stuff showed up. Advance adapters gear box

 

Anyone ever use this?

could be but do what Ben said first. I did mine when it was misfiring. Around 240k i think.

 

It might. I'm not sure what finish they used. At first I thought powder coat, how it wears I'm thinking not. But it's got a long ways to go to look as bad as the rest of my truck though.

 

Threw some leds in

 

y’all work too hard, I just unbolted those things and left them off. Cinched up the tire hoist nice and tight and it hasn’t moved since I put the 33 under there.
