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

Maybe im just cheap but you can easily sandblast and paint those, or scuff and paint them. either way looks good !

 

Hey you’re not cheap and I don’t have big bucks, some people have the ability to do things that others don’t. I have no equipment, space, or time to do that and I’m terrible with paint, but random internet searching and turning a couple screws, can do.

 

I finally wired up In cab winch controls as well as a power cut off switch.

 

Pulled the evaporator core again, found out I fucked up putting the O-rings on and managed to cut them in half while installing... Pulled a fresh vacuum with new O-rings, and it loses pressure in 10 minutes. Thinking I'm going to have to try pressurizing the system with... something and use the old soapy water trick. Hopefully it's not the AC line inside the evaporator box, that'll be a pain in the neck to find.

 

Use oil with UV dye.

 

I did. That's how I found the evap core leak. There isn't a bit of glow anywhere right now.

 

Ah gotcha, that is frustrating then. I remember when I rebuilt my system it was a pita and those fittings are so delicate.
