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

I thought you had already had these v-bands machined? Your lapping job looks nice though

 

thanks.
everything was done except this Vband and each end of the crossover.
It's been quite the annoying little leak and extra insulting since that's the same spot the DT Headers were leaking.
Hopefully I won't have to hear it anymore and I might even get more that 15mpg

 

Forgive me if it has already been posted but I came across this online article and thought the 1st Gen crowd might enjoy it. Probably there are already three threads started about it but....

I sit here wondering why my brakes feel like garbage...

 

I am just as confused.

 

I am going to flush it again before I put my new parts on. Tundra brakes with extended front and rear lines. Of course I will be using @turbodb kit that I've had forever.

 

I too can't believe there are 0 calories!

 

@1997tacomav6 you’re famous

 

Oh man did yours have some weird solids come out too? My passenger side caliper wouldn't even bleed just completely clogged up... gotta love it

 

It's recommended to regularly flush and replace your brake fluid due to it being Hygroscopic. The moisture in the fluid can cause problems over time.
IIRC they recommend to flush your brake system every 2 years or 30K miles. It's not an absolute, but a good idea depending on your geographical location.

 

Jealous of the grinder setup! Every time I'm switching wheels back and forth I'm tempted to run and buy another grinder... idk why such a small inconvenience drives me so crazy...

 

That would be my truck posted there,
but at 753,000 now,haha
Thanks

 

Took the foster dog to Home Depot. She enjoyed it.

 

Unique truck. I like it.

 

I have 3 and it's def the minimum number for fabricating. Ideally I'd like to add a 4th battery one into the mix. 3 usually are cut off, flap and wire wheel but a 4th for a grinding disc would be nice.

 

3 is a good number but I agree I could add a fourth for wire wheeling. Two of mine are setup with flap discs, one coarse one fine. The other is a cutoff. I can't remember the last time a grinding disc was ever useful though, I don't think I've ever bought one haha.

 

Literally only for rough cutting a inner radius after doing a ton of relief cuts is usually where I use it haha

 

All these grinders and I'm just over here like whatever I met my wife on Tinder

 

LMAO!
Wait! Isn't "Tinder" the ones you catch and release???
