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

31X10.5 vs. 33X12.5

 

Well I took the taco over to Dunning Toyota in Ann Arbor for a frame inspection... New frame on the way

and i'll look into replacing the ignition cylinder thanks guys =]

 

Congrats.


I would be happy to get a new frame (even though mine is rust free).

Every other instance I heard the person got a whole bunch of other worn out shit replaced for free, along w/ the frame.

 

45acp (Jonathan) helped me change my CV axles today. First one took 3 hours, second one took 30 Minutes

I lost maybe .15 quarts of diff fluid, do I need to put more in? We didn't think I lost enough to go through the hassle of adding more fluid, what do you guys think?

And while we were at it, took off my swaybar and checked the flex, and did the BFH mod on the pinch weld. All in all, successful day (as in no fatalities/road blocks)!

 

Looks great jacob!! you like the no sway bar?

 

It's definitely more squirrely, but I like it. Feels more playful. What do you think about the diff fluid? Ok?



Oh, and I sprayed down my MAF with some contact cleaner. VERY rough idle/stalling for first couple minutes, then drove like a champ. Def. noticed a power difference, glad I did it.

 

my frame is starting to show some rust, but only my frame really. So if I get a new frame, it will be almost 100% good to go rust wise. And yeah my rear leafs are shotttt, and apparently leafs come with the frame since its cheaper for them to do that then to swap them over apparently? IDK but i'm not asking questions

 

Changed the AC tension pulls and fixed the vibrating noise which was coming from the skid plate missing the two middle bolts.

And I also changed the rear struts on my brothers pathfinder.

 

Put on my TW sticker!!

 

I REALLY need to do that... It's been sitting on my shelf for 6 months...

Oh, and

 

Yea cleaning the mad does help a lot. I didn't leave mine in the truck tho lol

And that hardly seems worth filling up more oil. I think it'll be fine

And I need to do a lot of sticker horse power mods haha

 

Well yeah I took mine out and everything... I think the ECU just had to reset itself and get used to the new air flow since I disconnected the negative battery terminal.

 

Nice. What's the BFH Mod??? And if it were my truck, I'd add some diff oil.... (but I don't even have a front diff, so don't listen to me! ) lol

 

BFH: Big F****** Hammer, to smash down the pinch weld

 

lol BFH= big fucking hammer

 

Pyroskier doesn't even have to look at his work while doing the BFH mod. He's that good.



Like a boss?

 

Started looking for some 15/38.5 Boggers for her

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP

 

now how big is this "big fucking hammer"?



the other day...TW sticker




today i took out the starter (massive PITA) went and had it tested to find out that the starter is just fine so my truck is still clicking when i go to start it. In the process of taking it out i pulled out one of the rubber breathers, so i went to the toyo dealership and napa and they both said you didnt need the rubber protector thing at all...so i put some tape around it to block off most of the hole and called it good. so today i managed to spend almost 5 hours removing a starter, losing a piece, driving around, and still have not fixed the problem! awesome
