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

yes there are. And for whatever reason they are bigger then the stock 3.4l ones.

I lied though, they don't "bolt" in. But very easy to mount.

El Rojo's old truck:

 

Well this arrived.

 

On my first car (1987 Olds Delta 88), I got a hole in my intake manifold (how that happened is beyond me) and my dad used JB Weld on it. It held perfectly from then until I got rid of the car. I'm not advocating it as a permanent solution, but that shit is damn good. I'd use it again, and trust it for a while until I got around to a permanent solution.

 

I used jb weld to make my grill. That and the monstaliner is the only thing holding it together. I used it to patch my fender flares too.

What a Delta 88 reminds me of lol

 

@TacoVio Did your brother say why he was against using JB Weld on the radiator. I am curious because most of the other epoxy and cyanoacrylates break down with heat and moisture.

 

Yeah I already have weather techs which I would keep, just want to get rid of the carpet too.

 

He got a lesson in gravity, and I got a lesson in thermodynamics. Much to be learned from those cars.

 

Oh I use that shit all the time but idk about the radiator I'll have to do some researching!

 

So weathertech makes floor liners for a 2004 but not 1998. Which is dumb cause they should be the same thing. I'm sure the 2004 ones will work but... it says not designed or recommended to be used on vinyl floors?? Why is this?

 

Slip n' slide.

 

Figured. But I feel like it would stay put with all the material on the sides of the floor mat. Maybe you could put some like small screws or thumb tacks to keep it in place.

 

Or even put a small rubberized coat on the weather tech.

 

its already made out of rubber though correct? Or is it hard like vinyl? Could maybe put some velcro on the floor and the mat??

 

Can't really say with confidence whether it'll work or not. I believe my manifold was aluminum and that thing gets damn got and has fluid going through it, so I'd imagine it would work for a radiator.

 

It's a hard plastic, at least the digital fit ones are. They call it HDTE.

 

Tempting!

 

Nope. That shit is tough though! I have used it a lot!

 

JB weld ftw, I use it on everything that does not need to come back off. My air filter box is held on with JB weld.
