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

Everything was as loosened as it can get (without the nuts coming off - cause that would have been as serious PITA to get back on) and I was pushing, pulling, cursing, praying... nothing worked

 

ok. Thanks for the tip. And it's kinda inspired by yours. I like roof racks but I'm not drilling holes In my roof for one.

 

Huh. Odd. Did you looses the mount bolt for the pump too?

 

Hell yea man me too

 

Meant to ask young how do you like ur cvt tent? I was in a tepui gb so they called it on t4r. It's now maybe gonna be a cvt one. I've not heard much obout their tents.

 

Had mine for 3 years and use it all summer and lives outside year round. Still looks brand new when I open it up. It's been great I love it.

 

That's the thread I used to change my belts and everything worked out

 

I loosened the two circled in red, then turned the adjustment head counter clockwise (until the whole long bolt was wiggling) then tried moving the pump to get the belt off. Didn't budge.

So then I turned the adjustment head clockwise until it wouldn't turn any more.... then tried moving the pump to get the belt off. Didn't budge.

 

Use a pry bar between the mount and pump

 

You have a 96 and your leds do or don't dim.

 

In the process of cleaning the throttle body and glad I decided to. I'll probably also do the intake manifold because it is also pretty bad. The air intake side is so much cleaner

 

you got the right bolts.

This, might be a little frozen on place.

 

I gave it the finger and headed to my GF's. About to sit poolside.

My friend's shop is warrantying out the power steering pump on Thursday so they'll throw the new AC belt on at the time.

 

they all dim just as good if not better than the regular bulbs

 

Cool thanks for chiming in. Was worried that the older trucks maybe didn't have the right components or something. Glad to know it will work. I mean I could always just turn them off completely when in the desert.

 

replaced inner tie rod, had wheel alignment, drove couple hundred kms, rotated tires, found 1/16" play in new tie rod.......

 

Check to make sure its not the rack guide in the rack. Had a shop tell me my inner tie rods were shot, put new ones on and still had the same play at the wheels. Turns out the guide in the rack was the source of my issues

 

At the low spot at the intake plenum to manifold connection there is a small puddle of oil and is the throttle body and entire intake system is very dirty and gunked up. Would this be from an oil leak somewhere?

 

here's a pic of the 3rd gen 4runner seats i swapped in to my truck. the color isn't a perfect match but the extra comfort and support makes up for that.

 

whats the guide in the rack. i pulled back boot as far as i could and the visable shaft inside doesnt move with the tie rod
