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

Yea i think they will do go for just storing some small shit up and outa the way that i don't need to get too ALL the time. And stay dry

that would be an adventure in itself haha

you need to just suck it up and do that haha i know you think about it like 10 times a day haha

and we shall see how good at welding i am..before we call it high quality haha but im a patient guy with hand built stuff...so i hope itll turn out good.

 

I have..10..or 11..whatever.i got it for free as student software

and i wish i lived by Jerry or Tim or Eric or some other vendor to make it for me..would be much better im sure

 

Did the R&R throttle body and IAC cleaning this weekend, and cleaned the MAF. I see now whay they recommend taking it off for cleaning. If you don't all the cleaner and the goo drains into the IAC and sits there with nowhere to go. Cleaner evaporates, but now all the sooty partculates are in the IAC.

 

A quick disconnect setup would be nice..but i think ill end up just bolting it to the bed rails and maybe running some tubing from the rail to the actual bed for support. The only good quick disconnect stuff out there is for tubing and ill be making this all out of 1.5'' square tubing and 1'' square tubing. Not that undoing 8 bolts is really that big of a deal anyways..so that what will happen most likely.

 

looks a lot like just Invetor really...actually looks like a knock off version kinda like Open office and such. Ill have to try it out tho, could be easier to use..

 

^^ i can believe that haha looks like almost identical really..


and ben you can do that with invetor too.

 

Lol

I don't think your one to talk about spelling..haha

 

ah sorry, got what your getting at now lol im tired..haha

 

I just bought my Tacoma today. The only thing I've done so far is put insurance on it

 

Welcome.

 

welcome to the greats site in the land..now that you have a tacoma..and are on tacomaworld..be prepare to spend LOTs and LOTS more money..haha

 

Ye ole ones? WTF were they, kerosene?

 

Inventor is free (if you're a student), and just as good as solidworks for most things, and better for some like modeling gears and shafts for example.

 

Welcome! Im from Nelson BC, where are you?

 

Got her aligned after this went on

 

Nice! And I couldn't get a couple hoses of the TB when I cleaned mine so I just left it attached and used a piece of tape to cover up the IAC. It worked for the most part.... definately better to take it off if you can though.

 

Mine does too occasionally when you start it up, only last for a second or two, then goes away... any ideas?

 

Sketch up is a great program I have Pro and I design a lot of my stuff with it. For fab work its great not so much for precision machining but for fabracation its great.

 

Mine has squealed since I got it. When the belt actually gets warm, the squealing goes away. I think I just need a new belt. A lot of people just put some dawn dish detergent on it and that fixes it. But, if you've had the belt on there for a while, or you have ever changed it. I would recommend a new one.

edit: alternator belt, that is.
