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

Vacuum switching valve. There's actually 3 of them. And they're only 45$ not 300.

 

The new shocks for now. Until I can get bilstein.

 

Let me ask you, i ordered the PCV grommet when i changed mine out. Though in replacing the PCV itself, i found no place that this grommet i have goes. Where did yours go, perhaps is a Cali spec difference?

My PCV looks like this:

 

Got my seats all mounted up properly, just gotta finish welding now that I know the measurements are right. Here's a sneak peek though.



And one of my war torn workshop...

 

Those look pretty cush. I may have to search for a set.

 

the picture of your shop is nothing compared to what ours looked like when rebuilding my truck.....what a mess.

 

He is correct and wrong at the same time. There are 3 VSVs attached to the VSV canister under the hood. That canister is usually the main issue, as it cracks, it (with new vsv solenoids) is ~$300. There are ways to test each solenoid to see if they are the issue, if you are lucky you can change out just one of them.

 

wait wait...

you're gonna replace those...with billies?...



no



no





no


If your trying to save money for shocks. Get a rebuild able shock that is tune able for the love.

 

Your pvc looks like it threads in. My pvc is smooth with a small lip athe bottom the gromet is rubber. The old gromet was hard as plastic and that's why it broke.

 

so glad i spent enough time on this site before i was able to really mod my truck so i could learn to do stuff right the first time

 

Wonder how much he spent on those, billies probably would cost him $50 more...

After my bumper I'm gonna fix my entire rear setup

 

Nah see i replaced leaking shocks with shit billies...to hold off till the ADS....





thats what i tell myself now anyways

 

i really wish i could test my rear setup and see how it does. waiting for labor day weekend to go back home and install rear bumps and need to fix the hole in the steering rack boot before it ruins the rack

 

have you redone you rear setup? or are u leaving it alone for now?

 

I think since school starts and he's saving up for it IIRC

 

Yea basically. Already know what i'll do. Put new bumps in though.

Gonna do a mid travel setup and then save for links probably.

 

These are just temporary shocks until I have the money for a lift kit with bilstein shocks

 

Before you guys decide to comment about my poor decision read this
I wanted to put bilstein shocks on BUT I can't. The Bilstein shocks I want are 5100 (which won't fit my truck without a lift kit). These shocks only costed me $40 in total. Until I have the money for the lift kit I will then put the bilstein 5100. I do my research before I make decisions not the other way around.

 

WRONG!! My dad's O'reilly discount really helped me out here. I basically got a buy one get one free
