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

Nevermind, gonna ziptie the drive shaft to the crossmember and drive it to the hardware store.

 

No, it definitely is not a Rosie blow up doll


And I just called a bunch of hardware stores and had no luck with that rubber gasket material. Ace has em but only 4x4" for about $3-4 and I'm not sure how thick. I also don't have a drill for the holes and is it thick enough to cut with a regular razor blade?

 

I used a utility razor to cut one, then moved on to scissors. Seemed to be easier.

A drill definitely helps for the holes (Capt Obvious) but you might be able to get away with a punch. If you don't have a punch you might be able to get away with a phillips head screwdriver.

 

Don't have either


Hmm... how much would it cost to have you do it for me? Material, cutting, drilling, shipping? Serious question, but ONLY if you find time and wouldn't mind.

 

Aren't all the shaft bolts 12mm?

 

Ah hell, you just need to poke a hole through with scissors tips and hog it out. It is just so the screw goes through easily. No need for exact tolerances.

 

This is the nut that holds the flange to the t-case. Its probably like somewhere around 26-30mm.

 

Whoops, I was just imagining it being really thick and tough to poke a big enough hole 1/8" should be thin enough with a screwdriver and hammer huh?

 

And here I was going to suggest to RMAN to get a microgauge...

 

No need for a hammer...

 

Ohhh, gotcha. No clue. But it does need 87 ft lbs when you put it back on (attached). Sorry bud.

Ben might know off the top of his head.

 

If you want me to do it, I'll do it for free. Took me 2 mins.

One 6x6" sheet makes two complete sets, so I made one for my friend who has an '02. I would have just sent you those.

 

You can probabaly burn a whole in it with normal human vision.

 

Burn hole... with human vision. Got it.

 

Plasti derped the rest of the Chrome on the front. I'll take pics when it stops rainin

 

I call it the "sticker under tool box lid" mod. PM me for write up

 

did a 3 stage Seafoam treatment, washed and vacuumed her out (TONS of dog hair!!) and made a stubby antenna

 

Thanks for the help. Went to the hardware store, looks like it's 30mm. I'd give you rep anyway, but I got a message saying "You must spread some reputation around before giving it to scocar again."

 

Wtf did you do..

 

Just wanted to replace (for the 2nd time ) a leaking seal between the flange and transfer case before I put the belly armor back on.
