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

Okay, I just went into full stress mode and didn’t know what to do haha

 

From the picture it really looks like a simple fix. The LBJ is just 4 bolts and a castle nut. I can't tell from the picture (glare right in the way). I'd check the outer tie rod end too. The wheel looks like it might be turned farther past where it should be and might have damaged the ball joint on that as well.

I'd definitely recommended replacing BOTH Lower Ball Joints. I think it's always a good idea to replace both, but if that one failed the one on the other side is probably not far behind.

 

Took a nice long dirt road with the wife out into the middle of nowhere and ended up seeing 2 bull elk around 300 yards away walking across a huge wash from some recent flash flooding.

It was just before dark and I didn't have my camera so I did the best I could with my phone



Once we got back to town I filled the gas tank up for the first time after replacing the tank filler neck sub assembly that the dealer believed to be the source of my evap leak. I believe they may have been wrong


I ordered a replacement fuel pump tank gasket and hopefully there isn't bigger problems up there when I drop the tank

 

Oh and I thought I'd treat myself to a new battery

 

Rebuilt my coilovers

 

Was it @BartMaster1234 i remember saying to bleed the BPV after replacing the rear brake line?
How would one go about doing that. Googlefu isn’t bringing anything up

 

Same as bleeding a brake. Has a bleed nipple on it.

 

Obviously missed that when I looked last night.
Thanks

 

Yep. Pretty simple.

 

Alot of heat gun and weights but overall better then my crap carpet

 

I just realized during lunch today that I'm missing a Limited badge for the driver's side rear door -- this emblem is apparently long been discontinued, have attempted to scour the internet and eBay for one. That's gonna drive me nuts.

 

If you aren’t in a hurry to get it fixed I could come help you next week.

if you don’t know how/ don’t Wanna mess with it

better than paying someone

 

Are you still running the original fuel pump or is it an unknown when the PO might or might not have changed it?

Treat it as preventative maintenance since you'll be right there anyways. It's a relatively simple and easy job.

 

Hey man, I appreciate that! I ended up getting it figured out. Thanks though man!

 

you sure your truck is a true limited? the door handles aren't colored matched...

 

the double cab limited had chrome mirror caps, chrome handles, the limited badging, the special seats and the leather steering wheel... should be obvious if its a true limited

 

Is the rear actuator? Was it a pain to clean up? good results? Mine is intermittent and I'm suspecting that i'll have to pull it apart and give it a good clean.

 

what package had the color matched handles then?

 

Um...


I think that was called: The Color-Keyed option.

Came with painted flares too. I think it was only ever in silver, red, and black.
