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

Changed my oil yesterday. Was unscrewing the oil filter and my arm was right in the way of a hot exhaust pipe...Got some hair burnt off...Then I didn't take the filter off fast enough and so I got oil all down my arm and my armpit haha. Good 1st time changing the oil on the 2.7L. Little harder than the 3.4L but not bad.

 

haha ouch!

I changed my diff and transfer case oil and forgot to put the washer back on the transfer case drain hole. DOH! no big deal it's not leaking, but oops anyways!

 

Didn't get a chance to get an OEM Filter either...Bummer.

 

I did that on my diff.. the bottom washer fell into the fluid I was draining
didn't find it until I was all done!
but its not leaking either

 

I did the same thing awhile back i managed to put my finger in the hole quick only lost a couple drops putting it back.

 

Love the bumper. Don't they make some kinda brackets for body lifts that can raise the bumper too?

 

haha glad im not the only one, mine was the same, fell into the oil pan and i didn't notice it until I drained the pan.

 

checking all fluids and all the good stuff tomorrow in prep for wednesday evening trail sesh

 

No, no, you're doing fine. Actually, if you read the TW Code of Conduct, you'll see that posting while drugged or disoriented is recommended.

 

Nothing done with the Tacoma lately.... waiting on my eibachs and ordering my allpro leafs and 5150 rear shocks next week, Those of you with 5150 shocks, what valving did you go with?
Also updated build thread

 

Finally got them uploaded

New Goodyear MT/R's!!

 

Apparantly I have to do a suspension lift to get the bumper to match the body. I really wish they would tell me this shl7 before I pick the truck up.

Now i have to wait two weeks to get the parts in and back on their schedule


The old front bumper didn't mount to the frame the way the ARB does



These same folks made this rear bumper for me a couple years ago. It mounts to the frame the same way. I had to take it back this year and have them add a lower mount since the first one was useless, too high to actually use.

I tell you what though, it is solid. I accidently backed into a tree, while the truck stopped pretty suddenly it didn't phase the bumper. The tree wasn't too happy

 

Washed and Waxed!!!!!!!!!

 

got a ticket for no front plate. motherfucker!

 

fixed the wining power steering pump. now it turns a lot smoother

 

what did you do? mine whines pretty bad..

 

~5 inches of rear lift.... raise the brake proportioning valve about ~5 inches.
right?

 

Got my new (used) eibachs today!!! And yes, they came in an OME box lol. Thanks to Greg (BirdTRD) for selling them to me!

 

Whaaaaaaat?

Where did you get that number? My owners manual says 17.96 gal. ('98 V6). Is that a change from my '98 to your '99?

 

pshhh give us pics of the lift . correct with the bpv though. what st up are you running up front?
