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

Yeah, I never read those.

Remember, the first instruction is always 'throw away the instructions.'

But yeah, mines been fine, so you should have no problem. I do notice that the screen reacts kinda slowy and looks a little funny when its really cold though.

 

Looks familiar. I did the same with the wire. Was wondering if it had been done a better way.



Thought that if I used the horizontal mount, it would be a pain to swap out the stickers on the window behind it, so I used the suction mount

 

Ordered LBJs and tie-rod ends. Compiling the list for the flywheel job, hoping to order tomorrow night or the next day.

 

Hoping the lbjs are oem

 

I like mine posted here.

 

Warm up the truck, shut it down, pull the injectors, turn the key as far as it will go without cranking the engine a few times, watch for drips and put your finger over each injector to see if there is any pressure. If you feel pressure or extra wetness, that injector is probably leaking.

 

nothing but Toyota genuine parts. I don't mess around anymore.

 

mind if i ask what the total was, im on the hunt for both and wouldnt mind knowing how much i need

 

yeah i went moog and then a few months later found a whole thread on lbjs and now ill be replacing the lbjs prematurely with oem ones. only reason i went with moog is because i thought they were quality and it was half the cost of oem but still the most expensive aftermarket lbj. I was wrong and in the end ill have saved nothing

 

Not really today, but recently.

1. Stereo install with review camera
2. VC gasket change,pcv valve, plugs
3. New radiator (TYC, no longer KOYO , at least the one I got)

JVC


Rearview camera

 

Hell yeah, another FOG.

Yeah, I was around when Shannon was starting Tacoma Territory. I guess in the big picture, it wasnt all that long ago. Summer/Fall of 1998? Those were interesting times and my first exposure to wheeling.

I honestly don't recall COs designed for the Tacoma back then but I respect your memory so I'm sure you are correct in correcting me.

 

Dropped mine off at the shop for new lca bushings, lbj's, swap old billies for new billies and alignment. Hopefully she drives way better than she has lately.

 

new mirrors. $75 delivered, really good quality. BOOM!

 

The NAPA/Moog/555 LBJ's are lifetime warranty. Mostly the reason im having a NAPA service center install mine. If they ever fail they are replaced for free. At any NAPA service center in the country. We shall see how they perform.

 

Is that a powered mirror?

 

I've been running Moog upper ball joints for over 10,000 miles. Still no issues...

 

I dont think the uppers take quite as much abuse as the lower's, my factory uppers are still going at 177,000. This will be the third set of lower's. Original, factory recall's, now the NAPA/555's.

 

Yeah, I need to replace my lowers as well. No play, but the boots are busted. They've got about 50,000 miles on them.

 

Seems like yesterday, time really does accelerate in later life.
One post from back then has stuck in my mind "Do we have 100 members yet?".

 

Nope, they're manually adjusted. My year didn't come with the power mirrors so I searched a little more and found the manually adjusted version instead of getting one with a motor and just running it dead.

These guys.
