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

That pulley is backwards.

 

Thanks for looking out! I don’t seem to see it.. how can you tell?

 

lol.geez. Fucking feel like a donkey. Threw that on right before rush packing. @Locot@co once the sc is on, zip off nut with the impact and flip it and put nut back on. Torque when the belt is on.

 

Idk how you guys can tell from a picture but I’ll take your word for it

Thanks again fellers

 

the flat part is supposed to be on the inside. When you take off you will see. It has a rim that is supposed to be on outside.

 

Rim looks to be outside

 

Nvm got it. Thought you were referring to the rim a tad larger than the nut.. in other words the pulley is supposed to sit flush to the body of the SC

 

Friendly reminder -

 

No shit, total pain in the ass. I was redoing seats for the third time so I may do it when I do the body swap I have planned. Mine never was as defined

 

I took a large cheap towel, kept it soaked, and tucked it under the dash. I managed not to set anything on fire and haven't had any electrical gremlins surface yet

I do know of at least one person who had issues though lol

 

Got the same kit from rock auto a little over a year ago.. Major PITA job… could’ve done a better job but was tired of it by this point…

This is how it looked right after putting the center console in place. Will update after some time and use

 

Got a flowmaster 44 slapped on tonight, a little too droney for me at around 2000rpm, probably get a 6in resonator to throw upstream. But I like it, not too loud and obnoxious

 

Did some snorkeling

 

Fun stuff eh, nothing like a mini heart attack while you drill a hamster sized hole in your fender

 

Lucky this was my 2nd rodeo and the hole saw for the 2nd Gens snorkel is even bigger so there was a little less anxiety all the holes


I wasn't expecting the Rivits to be a pain in the ass but my rivit gun busted and one of the studs for the rivets just disappeared into the A pillar to never be seen again. I haven't used rivits in forever and couldn't find any in the shop and had to go buy a box. Me trying to be a smart person I bought a new rivit gun and it snapped the 1st rivit in the wrong spot

I got this Stanley MR99 second hand from my former father in law back in 2009 and it chose today to fail. Looks like the spring inside could use replacement and maybe that will fix it

 

i bought an air rivet gun.. man lifes been great with that thing.
highly recommended

 

Right?

Used one for the first time at work a few weeks ago; getting more and more used to air tools.

 

Hamster? Shit that's like guinea pig sized ;-)
