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

I'd mark the driveline with a sharpie so if it does fall out you can line it back up.

Jack up truck, remove tires, lower spare(makes more room). I'm going to set my spare under the axle to support it. Remove shocks, remove u-bolts, unbolt only the bottom shackle bolt that's on the stock leafs, unbolt main-eye bolt and you're done. Then just do it in reverse order.

 

Installed.

 

I had just left my house and turn down the street and he ran a stop (With another Tacoma) and hit me no body damage but he paid for an entire inspection on my truck, an alignment, minor damage, and the spare

Free stuff always is

 

This sounds more like it, its been a while since I swapped on.

 

Yup I hate you, so want to add that stuff to mine.

 

looking for a driver side corner marker light clear lens black trim or just a clear lens off a broken set?

 

I'm pretty sure you can buy just the corner lights off ebay

 

First time? Up to 8 hours depending on how easy your stock ones come off..

 

Picked up this little fella today! Gotta thank my wife for driving with me 3hrs away to get it today lol!

 

Hope ya got an axle for it too!

 

Mine does. 2001 prerunner

 

You got a good one there. Lets you buy truck parts and drives 3 hours to get them.

 

Yesterday I was pounding on the truck kind of hard and went to put it in park so I could start hiking up the mountain. Well my shifter wouldn't let me go past neutral. I was freaking out like you, then I thought that should have nothing to do with the tranny. I had snow and muck built up so thick it was stopping the shift linkage. I cleared it off and it shifts up and down fine now.

 

Wait what? No drop the axle first then go about taking the leafs and shackles off

 

Got my new speedo cable installed. So much quieter now. The job wasn't too bad. I was really happy it came with all the insulation and clips installed on it.


Also finally got my SOS Concepts bed bar/tire carrier bolted down with a 33x12.5 Goodyear Duratrac installed. I plan on using this spare to test the cleareane in the front and trim before I order 4 new ones.

 

how much was the cable?? mine in my 96 makes a little noise i havent taken it apart to see if i can lube it
