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

Check the connection on the harness, I had to repair mine as it actually shorted and melted the harness

 

Spent the morning tearing everything out on here front end. Unfortunately I couldn’t get my UBJ’s pressed on until tomorrow. Which isn’t a bad thing.. I now have to source out an ABS sensor that goes into the knuckle.. had one that after an hour I finally got rough and it snapped..

 

I prefer using long ass extensions into the wheel well haha

 

If you take the air box out it isn’t bad at all to deal with

 

The tensioner or pulling the pump? Removing the airbox is almost essential for pulling the pump (have done both ways many times and it sucks way less with the box out), but to just adjust the belt you don't need to.

 

Noted

 

Thanks, will do

 

Hobo shade V3!

Two 9' that are about the same in square footage as two full size ARB awnings

 

Took mine apart….

 

I've searched, found info, but not really details. My 01 double cab needs new body mounts, seems like all the available options are only for xtra cabs or oem which is $. Anyone find a solution? Or know what durometer polyurethane is typically used?

 

Mine has a noticeable knick on it, but I am just too lazy to change it. Guess it's future me's problem haha




....don't worry it'll honestly get changed here in the next week or so

 

I just changed my drive belts tonight, man that steering pump belt is a b*tch
On the plus side it seems to idle smoother

on the other hand...I still need to do my timing belt after having a kit sitting on the shelf for a year now

 

The Xtra cab ones won't work. Your only option is OEM I'm afraid. I tried the others thinking it wouldn't matter, it does. A lot.

 

Is this what a bad wheel bearing sounds like?

that sounds like a rotor rubbing a pad.

Wheel bearings in my experiance sound like a rumble. If they get REALLY bad its like a shrieking pepper grinder and you would pull over immediately.

 

That's what I was thinking possibly.
Going to check it out later, but I haven't ever had to replace a wheel bearing so I wasn't sure what to expect.

 

Good ol Russian door check repair on both drivers side doors


and a metal handle for the driver's door

 

Mine had squeaking but also lots of very loud grinding noises and clunks. I dont think thats a wheel bearing.

 

Wheel bearing sinusoidal noise increases in frequency at higher speeds and becomes louder around curves.

 

I've had pretty much the same sound happen after doing water crossings or driving through mud pits on the trail, like a little rock or something gets wedged in the brakes and makes a rotational squealing noise until it pops out. Did it go away eventually or?

I've had a wheel bearing go bad and it's definitely more of a low grinding sound rather than a squeal
