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

Mine is still covered from magruder and lolo haha

 

Thanks, looks good with the swampers. But its hell on the interstate. And cost about 4 mpg.

 

John - my solenoid has been under the hood by my battery since I've had the winch

 

lol I knew someone was gonna mention that.
It was killing Madjik_Man to see it like that, you should've seen him trying his best to vacuum the dirt out of the carpet.

 

Replaced my rear U-joint..didnt know such a small part could cause the whole damn truck to shake and vibrate like hell

 

You have no idea how much restraint it took from me not to detail the hell out of his interior when he was here.

As it is all he let me do was vacuum the carpet before installing his seats.

 

So my bolt holding the driver's side leaf pack forward of the axle has lost its nut . The bolt is still jammed in there and I have no idea how long it's been that way. trying to locate a replacement.

Also ordered 24 wheel studs and lug nuts to replaced my FUBARed originals.

 

I swear I posted mine before scrolling down and reading your post.

 

Spray paint is an awful detailer

 

don't ask

 

I would..just..don't..have..well..floorboards that have it anymore ha

Good ole wy dirt

You should just never see the inside of mine..pretend it's like yours haha

If anyone has he would..

 

I could probably challenge madjik to a clean cabin contest. I would eat off my carpet or dash.

 

Secret weapon.

 

replaced rotors and pads.

 

Next time your in the sf bay I've got just the car for you hell I'll even weld something for you!

Your not going to get it out, not enough room to swing a bfh. You can either cut it off melt the bushings, replace bushings and bolt. Or just by a new nut, i believe its 14 mm.

 

Go to change my rear u joints today..... so I take the back driveshaft off, spend about two hours trying to get the damp ring clips out... then I try to press the old u joint out on my vice... driveshaft falls knocks over a pair of pliers that punctures a can of red spray paint.... red paint is flying all over the garage as the can spins around. I'm screaming fuck, wife comes running out sees me all red....

Fuck this shit I'm taking it to a garage or having a front wheel drive. I quit

 

damn..... i am sry bro. crack a beer open

 

I did that recently, and I have some bad news for you.
Toyota never approved any third party companies to make ujoints for your drive shaft. They are a non servicable part according to toyota.

You will need to get a different drive shaft.

None of the ones that say they fit will fit.. I tried 4 different ujoints with 0 success.
