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

Dont get it on anything else, if it sits very long it will remove whatever is under it. Lol and im not sure if there is tint on the windows if it will hurt it or not.

 

The tint on the windows is built in, luckily...not a film...otherwise my scraping with a razor blade would have taken that off too. I may put some tint film on later if I think I can see inside too easily (what the original owner should have done instead of spray painting the windows).

 

Looks good! If they do say something, you should just do the blinker relocation mod next!

 

Anyone done a clutch before? How was it? I have one coming in next week.

 

Installed an electric fan with thermostatic control today! I wired it to the cigarette lighter positive which goes to a relay and cuts on the thermostat and it runs pretty well!

 

2wd? It's easy enough.

 

I've done mine. It's pretty straight forward stuff. The only real hard part was gettin to the top bell housing bolts and reinstalling the trans and getting things lined up.

 

Easy enough to do with a LONG extension for your ratchet and the right jack. If you don't have the right jack, make sure to have a couple of guys to keep it balanced on a make shift jack.

 

I did mine last weekend. It took me about 6 1/2 hours but that includes me running around trying to find a slide hammer to get the pilot bearing out and then fighting to get it to come out because the tool I got was wore out.

I just went and bought a new flywheel so that I didn't have to waste time getting it machined. It was cheap, like $65 bucks.

The easiest way to get the top bolts is to take the shifters out of the trans. and t-case and go through the hole in the floor. Then have a bunch of extensions and have a friend that can guide the socket to the bolts. You can get both top bolts through the shifter holes.

 

What are you guys getting mpg wise on a stock 3.4 v6 4wd? I'm getting 13mpg and I think that's low... Any tips please let me know thanks

 

4x4

 

Okay cool. I'll have to see if my dad or some friends have a slide hammer. Its one of the few tools I don't have. I also just bought a flywheel also.

Selling my truck so getting it ready for sale. I'm sure who ever buys it will go through the clutch fast though with the 9lbs of boost from the S/C

 

That is pretty low, I got 21 on the highway stock....

I'm getting 17 with lift, heavier wheels, and bigger tires.

How many miles are on it and what year is it? Also, manual or auto?

 

Bought a double cab...

 

I hate you....

 

Damn, now you have to start all over with the wiring.

 

Best color out there.
