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

sweet! post up a sound clip if you can plz

 

Thanks for the info, I've been eyeballin' this product for awhile now.

 

Disconnect your sway bar , its much smoother.

 

Plasti-dipped the front and rear end of my truck

 

Got a set of bushwaker cut a ways for $250!!! Brand new might I add

 

Where!!!!! tell me now!!


** Ill take your old ones if you dont want them.

 

You can do it for a lot less money, i think... I took all the silencers off my intake and plugged the holes. It's a lot louder now and you get a nice growl when you get on the gas. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think that's all this tube does.

 

Replaced my broken e brake cable..what a pain in the ass

 

Tomorrow morning I'm getting replaced Steering rack bushings, tie end rod, and getting an alignment.

 

My brother in law works there. Probably the key factor in why my older sister married him hahaha He gets employee discount. The guy didn't tell me he worked there for four months! But now he is hooking me up. Sadly only me. I already asked for the guy who owns the truck in the TW banner.

I will probably post my old ones for sale once I get the new ones on there. Not sure yet

 

Wont even recognize driving your truck It will be a whole new truck if all that is fubar.

 

Just got a Line-x bed liner!

 

not bad... and welcom to tw!

 

finished up the balljoints on my driver side...just gotta do the passenger tomorrow after I pick up a lower rh balljoint.

then i did the spark plugs on the x-runner after..
1GR driver side plugs =

 

Installed new steering rack bushings - total waste of time and money. my 'stock' ones were in good enough shape, should've stopped when i realized that. Instead, wasted 3 hours under the truck and $25.

Plasti-derped my badges. I think i caked it on a bit heavy on the last coat (because it was late, bugs were out, etc.) - looks good, but not great, will probably re-do it soon.

Painted my scrape-plates shiny black. need to drop the gas tank skid and do that too.

You've all seen plastidipped and black plates, so unless you all realllly want pics, i'll skip it.

 

How much that cost you?

 

nah man, you'll notice an improvement in steering when you hit the dirt. the poly urethane is much better than the crappy stock rubber

i know they take a long time to install... at least it's a cheap part and you dont have to pay yourself for your time on the clock

 

does anyone know the size of the rear diff drain and fill plug? i was fighting with it last night and lost.

finally this morning i gotta 15/16" on it and got it off but its all rounded and messed up so im thinking about replacing it. im thinkin maybe my diff breather is plugged up cuz it was so ridiculously tight maybe there was a bit of a vacuum? does that make sense?

 

It was $580 after tax, over the rails. $469 pre tax under the rails...

Thanks for the welcome TacomaZach

 

They should both be 24mm. 15/16" is a little smaller than 24mm so that's probably why it worked... I would replace it if I were you.

Yeah, the vacuum idea makes sense but I dont think it would be strong enough to make a noticable difference when trying to loosen the plug because it's such a small area. Have you tried ttwisting the breather to make sure it's loose? If you can twist it around with your fingers, than it shouldn't be clogged.
