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

The front hose also appears to have been replaced at some point in time. Depending on the I.D. of that line, the Toyota breather valve may not fit.

 

Finally got a dry day to paint up the bumper

 

that's a pretty nice bumper

 

Took my tint off and got some new tint

 

The ID of that hose looks about the same as what's on mine. According to this parts diagram, I think Toyota replaces the entire hose assembly.

 

Just ordered two new rims, since I bent two of them wheeling this weekend

 

steel wheels?

 

Yup. Summit racing. Last post of build shows damage

Gave it a little to much skinny pedal and bounced into a rock

 

crap! same wheels as mine! are they letting air out?

 

I've jumped the truck with the tires aired down to 12psi before, so it's not like it's easy to bend the wheels. I wouldn't be too worried as long as you don't hit the bead of them on a rock hard.

 

Nope. All is good. I'd rather replace them for peace of mind. Only $47 a piece.

I was aired down to 18. Brand new tires so they were stiff. Don't know if that had anything to do with it you see my pics?



I'm sure 99% of the rim damage is driver error.

 

Yeah, looks like you just came too close to the edge of the wheel with a rock. I doubt tires would have made any difference.

Glad these are cheap. My luck I won't bend a rim until after I switch to more expensive aluminum wheels haha

 

This is exactly why I got rid of the TRD beadlocks. What do you typically air down to?

 

12psi

 

I air down to 15-20. I got some rash on one. No sense in replacing yet....many more to come I'm sure...lol.....

but I do agree, glad they are cheap!!!

 

Yeah, I have a few small chunks out of the edge of a couple wheels. But still well past the tire bead, so it's all good.

 

Got a new idler pulley installed. I was gonna do the whole snap ring thing and get a new bearing. I decided against it as I was unfamiliar with the territory. So I just went to Autozone and got a new one for $27 out the door. Took less than 10 minutes and had her running like a champ.

 

I thought it was my truck too!!! Had to do a double take.

 

Ok Gents i need a little help. Does anyone know what could be causing a short for a 10A fuse that is Labeled Tail in the engine compartment fuse box. The fuse is for the lights on the RPM, MPH, AC and heater, RND21 on an auto shift. I put a new fuse in and 20-30 mins later it blows. any info would be appreciated. thanks Ray
