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

Crack in the driveway, what a bummer

 

Ha very true

It's weird because I filled it with air brought it in the garage and checked it, no nails or nothing. Put soap and water around the rims edge (front and back) no leaks. So now I'm just checking it every hour or so. Good thing it's spring break

 

I killed my alternator yesterday...
It was fun though

 

Valve stem?

 

Stupid hoodlums? Punk kids?

 

Poured water and soap on that nothing either, gonna put it back on the truck maybe with weight on the tire I might find it. If not

Ha as of right now that might be it or when I added air to my tires on Saturday the valve stem might have been moved ever so slightly and let air out

 

Did the blinker relocation. Also started installing my strobe light kit, got the rear lights installed and wired to the controller. Still waiting on my switches to come in, maybe today.

 

Are strobes legal where you live? I'm not sure if they are here.

 

I just ordered me 3 OTRATTW switches, so now I have 5 including the ARB locker and air compressor... Wonder what I could use for the 6th slot. Spring break mania of installing coilovers, UCAs, complete new exhaust, and if everything goes perfectly, I might even get my new gears and airlocker.

 

you aint doing it right bro

 

I know I know haha, that was my 2nd run through the puddle. The first one was better

 

How much does that weigh? and how does it ride with that back there? I want to get a carrier like that for my bike so I don't have to take my camper off, but I don't think 400 lbs would be too great for the back

 

Got some more pics

 

Looking good Logan

 

Thanks buddy

 

The bike is 320 wet. I was a little skeptical about it but same thing, I wanted to be able to keep a canopy on and haul a bike. It seems to drive fine, I was worried at first with all the weight out back. I took it on the freeway and windy county roads. It definitely sways a bit, especially when hitting potholes so I tried to slow way down for those.

 

On the road... No. The cops look the other way when we are working a public event like a marathon or bike race. They help when fallowing the last runner or providing aid to someone. I usually have my magnetic signs on my truck saying I am an official vehicle. They are the same ones construction vehicles, just completely hidden when off.

Several events I work are races that are off the road and then they are legal.

Main issues are no blue, period and no forward facing red.

I got my switches today and as always, they are awesome! Thank you OTRATTW!

 

You can take it apart and clean the brushes and you will be back in business. Free.

 

My magnaflow 18 came in a day early.

 

Does this seem right?

Tranny = Toyota ATF-D-11 or Dexron III 2.1qts

T-Case = GL-5 75w90 synthetic 1.1qts

Front and Rear Diffs = GL-5 75w90 synthetic Front 1.2qts, rear 2.6qts

Radiator = Toyota fluid only 11qts

Seem about right?

going to give the Tank all fresh fluids in prep for some summer wheeling!
