Next AZ mod day - Saturday Oct. 8 2011

you can put me down as a maybe and ill bring somethin to mod if i do, prolly diff breather. maybe some black spraypaint and have my way with some interior stuff

 

lol i hit one too on new years



its all fixed now though

guys i gotta work till 1 then i decided this will be the alst weekend to go to the lake for a while cause after this weekend it will be getting my truck ready for the dunes every second i have to spare.. sorry guys

 

Damn it! It was worth a shot.

 

What part of San Diego are you from? I was born and raised in Pacific Beach and frequent that area regularly to visit family.

 

furthers drivers award is to buy the beer

 

do you guys know how to install a clutch and flywheel?

 

Ok, after a shitty weekend of running around, I finally had a chance to get on here and see 2 pages worth of updates I need to catch up on. I'll go through all the changes today and post the updates on the OP. I'll also be PM'ing my address to all those who are still committed to coming out this Saturday.

Still looks like a great turn-out! I'll check the propane on my grill and we'll have plenty of room and shade to work on at least 2-3 trucks at a time in the garage/driveway.

 

provided you have a tranny jack its not hard. i had my mechanic do it cause i dont have it, or a lift. which made everything SUPER easy for him.

DONT cheap out, get genuine toyota parts for that.

And if your doing a clutch, do the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and throw out bearing.

 

sound good, put me down for bringing some drinks i guess? unless you guys can think of other things we need...

 

ill bring my easy up, jack stands, jack, tool box, aaaand that's about it. If someone could bring air tools/compressor it would make life SO MUCH EASIER!!!

besides eric, who prob wont have his truck, any first genners doing anything?! im running out of things to do to mine. Maybe ill just play arts and crafts and mock up a bumper. hahah


my list:
install/black 2nd gen badges
gray wire mod
MAYBE mock up bumper
install 2nd license plate light, i did the first one a few nights ago
id love to black my lights, anyone gonna do that? its not hard, just time consuming, if we could get a couple sets going id exchange labor if someone did mine


speaking of 1st gen parts, let me know if anyone wants me to bring anything, ill do what i can for you

What bumper are you mocking up?

 

front. ive already got all the foam board. just need tape. and some time.

 

Do you already have your steel?

 

If he doesnt... brian has alot of it

 

nope. dont want to buy more then i have to.

 

what do you think about this clutch??

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...7l-marlin-crawler-hd-clutch-kit-flywheel.html

already pmed him about it yesterday, hes getting a shipping quote for me today

 

dude I would really recommend going to ufix it or somehow get your truck on a lift,
the transmission from under the truck is a giant pain in the ass

 

And ask alex about clutches, he did the research for his recently, see what he thinks

 

not horrible. just gonna need more parts.

I suppose with enough work it wouldnt be bad on the ground, provided you park on some 4x8 blocks of wood, or have it lifted on jackstands way up. Their is a youtube video,

which i would of followed. but i paid 100 bucks labor SO im not complaining to bad

edit: i think he has the throwout bearing?

You need to confirm though that that flywheel is the correct teething for your model/year/engine etc etc.

 

like what other parts am i going to need?

and i will do it on a lift at avid
