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

Line-X'd aaaaand it's a limited edition Elite... duh

 

I heard pink milkshake was a 4Runner thing

 

It is, but auto tranny coolers are in the radiator. It's a wear item, I've got a link somewhere off someone cutting one open, tons of buildup.

 

Bought a 4x4

 

Gotta update your vehicle information

 

Yeah that and might start a build thread for this one. Might be a boring thread though

 

Yeah, do it! I mostly use mine just to keep track of when i did what haha.

 

It's just something I've gotten into the habit of replacing when I buy a used vehicle. You never know whether the previous owner changed the coolant on a regular basis or used the correct kind of coolant or dropped crud into it. You can't see inside of it to see clogs, etc so I usually replace them.

 

Very smart. Plus the plastic radiator tanks are prone to cracking.

 

I usually cut my stuff open to see how bad it was but after doing the timing belt and water pump I was too tired to screw with it last night. Here's an extreme example of build-up inside a radiator:

 

Exactly, most people never change them unless they leak. Definitely worth the $150 or so. I did mine when I did my timing belt but had to re install the old one cause the new one leaked. When I finally did swap it the temp dropped almost 10 degrees.

exactly what I was thinking!

 

Sorry dude, if I can find a DC 1st Gen in something other than red/white w/ low miles then I might be stickin round' the 1st Gen scene, otherwise it's off to neverland for me

 

^BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

MARK my words, you will regret that decision, maybe

 

exactly
Kind of...

 

Started a small project today.

 

I'll trade you my double cab straight across

 

No shit

Doesn't mean I wouldn't do it..haha

 

No....
