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

I see a spring which I assume is the front so maybe transmission mount?

Edit - I was close

 

You know it's possible to "pause" a build, right?

 

I could see the diff part breaking but what'd you hit to also crack the crossmember ?!

 

The diff mount isn't hard to replace. The crossmember for the steering rack...is cracked that high on both sides...

So...anyone who has done a SAS recently that has their crossmembers still laying around and not hacked up should PM me.

 

Da hell where you doing?? haha

 

I've got this really weird vibration out of the front, just can quite pinpoint it.....

Hey Timmy, did you check to make sure that wasn't causing your clunk?



But seriously, how did you accomplish that one?

 

I honestly have no idea how this happened. I haven't wheeled it hard in awhile. Went wheeling last Sunday, but my CV let go before I got to anything hard. I was really confused the CV blew up, but it had, had a ripped boot for awhile. Figured it had gotten enough grime and stuff in it and was just ready to die. This stuff was a total surprise, I was under to replace the damn CV and stumbled on all this.

Fml haha. At least I still have half of spring break left to deal with this.

 

I vote just SAS it

But if ig et to cut mine out before you come across a new one its yours, hope to not be too far out on getting it done

 

haha I wish. I want to LT this yota though!

We'll have to keep in touch. I'm just going to pull the diff and steering rack so I can get in their with a welder. Plate the shit out of it as a temp fix. Hopefully nothing else is fucked.

 

Just fully detailed my truck..
Got new wheels and tires too

 

I need to replace the struts on my snugtop glass. I have called the company headquarters in California, and their "local distributor" in my area to no avail. All I was trying to get was the measurements. I even asked how they measured them, extended to closed and they wouldn't give me an answer.

So does anyone here know how I should measure this to purchase the replacement? Or has anyone replaced theirs and happen to know?

 

I just want the measurement so I can buy redline struts.

 

^ This. Take one of the old ones into auto zone or the sorts and just match it up. I have the specs at home ( I had to replace my rear glass...)
Actually, come to think of It, I think I saved the struts from my old glass assy. The new glass came with all new hardware including struts. I'll look tonight. If I have, you pay shipping and you can have.

 

12.5" x 17" (whats on mine right now) and I think they are 45lbs of lift....

 

Love it.

 

I know for a fact Auto Zone has a book for the Might Lift part numbers by length. Just ask to look it the book and find one that matches yours the best. They will have to pull up the description on the computer to get exact measurements of collapsed and extended.

 

I hit 185K miles the other day....

I gave $ to rock auto today.....
Cam Seals
Crank Seals
Timing Belt kit (with water pump)
T-Stat.
Valve Cover gaskets (DS has been seeping for about 30K miles now)
New plug well seals and grommets
New Plugs
New wires
Upper and Lower Rad. hoses

 

Damn that's a good looking truck

 

Holy shit. That's some damage! You wheeling hard as a mofo

 

Thank you
