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

Yes they didn't lose it but it should not be on you. Everyone wants to say that it is but if you pay for something and pay for delivery service that they chose then they should be responsible for it to your door. Most of the time they charge two to three times what they should for shipping too. I use the smaller companies for everything I can.

 

Also, adding a trans cooler without the low temp bypass built in might be keeping the temp cooler than it would be otherwise.

Let the engine warm up before you go on a test drive.

 

Normal with the cooler. Takes longer to get up to tempt and I see it sit at 140-160 a lot now.

 

What's the easiest way to add a plow? Is this my excuse to get a winch bumper? Any brands people like? It's something that will get used for about 7 days a year, but our road doesn't get plowed and I could be the king of the nieghborhood.

 

id think you could still get a bumper with most plow kits. But it is not needed by any means. I saw that most kits have long arms that bolt to the frame further back. Hard on these trucks too.

 

Thank you, sir

 

Weather depending we may or may not be there tomorrow. So we’ll see

 

Repainted my spindles. Just touched them up really. And installed the Solo UCA slugs

Things have been way hectic around here. Progress on the LT has been going way slower than I'd like.

 

This...

@MadbumsBum
Get a cheap Chevy 1500 4x4 that you could later use for SAS parts...

 

May as well check valve lash. I haven't looked at many engines but the 3 I have have all had a few out of spec.

 

Buy your new frame now. After KoH, I'll head to Sac and help you rip that truck apart, upgrade, replace, place everything on the new frame. I've still got my old suspension parts if you need any of it. We'll have it running and driving by Summer it we start now!

 

this is a good plan.

 

If it makes you feel any better my game plan was to swap my 98 frame next week. But due to weather and my tundra stuck waiting on the body shop to free up to fix it.. I now I have no clue when I’ll get the swap done. Ugh

 

Hmmm, or maybe this is how I can convince my wife I need a tractor...

 

Even better plan!

 

Might as well get a skidsteer while youre at it!!

 

Skidsteer with a full snow blower attachment. Would make him undisputed champion of the neighborhood.

 

Both in Oregon... You could be set up right now for under 30K. Gotta have enclosed cab and a heater if you're going to be blowin snow. The soccer moms in the neighborhood will think you're God.

 

The heat in my truck is warm, not hot by any means, all my other Toyota's have had really hot heat. So yesterday I flushed the heater core, it was actually clean, the heat is a little warmer. Guess I'll change out the thermostat next. Not sure the t Stat is the problem, my temp gauge runs where it's supposed to be. Also, the passenger side vent, at the door, it blows cool air, not even warm, even when the heat is on. Any idea why that vent blows cool?

 

The heater core could be partially clogged and not getting enough coolant. My did that. Would never get hot which really sucked on cold mornings. Put in a new core and all is good.
