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

Stand up & be heard Lauren..!!
Now you have a voice.......

 

Yep sounds just like it, though mine only goes when over 25.

 

From my research it seems they aren't very reliable, at jest not up to Toyota reliability. I would love to swap a manual in just don't have another dd.

 

Nothing some sawdust wont cure...

 

Y'all need to flip those speakers down... Otherwise they'll fill up with even rain water and die. Happened to my beloved Dixie horn haha

 

No idea where id mount mine down lol

 

If yours sounds like that, I'm shocked its even moving at all....
mine wouldn't..

Yeah, I'd thrown sawdust in there but there wasn't any room, too much of this in the way...haha

 

Flip it over right where it is?

 

or buy a waterproof one

 

Well gents, it is done. My Taco has been traded for this 2010 FJ Cruiser. And while I'll miss my Taco, this FJ is sweet ace!

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Have my rear bumper mount brackets cut out. still have to drill hole for recovery shackle. They will go through the bumper and tie into the frame.

 

I finally replaced my door handle. Almost a month and a half with a hole in my door. Good thing no one knew the schematics of the door lock and jacked my truck. I waited on a part from a friend of a friend and got let down. Went to a local shop, bought the handle, and in the same hour installed the handle and the panel back on. A month for less than an hour of work.

 

I got that same door handle from rock auto for 6.00. For a future reference.

 

Damn, same exact same with mine.....new axles? New boots? Reclamp and regrease? Or leave as is till they go out????

 

Once I saw it and drove it, I just had to. I've already got a lift and tires picked out for it, but that'll have to wait til after the wedding.

 

Raised my kings a couple more inches. What a bitch and a half. I had to use a spring compressor and pound the piss out of a harbor freight punch to get any movement out of the collar. No way could you do it easily on the truck.

Before:

After:

CV angle is still okay:

 

I am sure you know it is a 2 piece collar. I was looking at adding a few to my Kings but have not done 8th yet. King is only 3 to 4 miles away from me so I may just have them do it.

 

It's definitely 1 piece...
