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

Ha! Just noticed that it does not say in the pic....all pro.

 

AllPro as mentioned above....also you get a huge For dumping the 2nd Gen to build a 1st Gen!!!!

 

What you gonna buy?????

 

Everything!

 

Yaaaaas! I know a guy that did that .......sounds like a build thread in the making!!!!! #finally

 

What's a build thread?

 

Just finished up pressing in new UBJ for both sides. Trickiest part was pressing the ball joints in straight. Both sides began pressing in unevenly but pressed into place in the end. There was one tube in the ball joint press kit that had a taper on it, so I used that to straighten them out before switching to another tube for the final press, if that makes sense.

These first two are of the UBJ coming out. I had to use an axle nut socket to fit because none of the ball joint tubes fit correctly. Too small or too big.




Here it is going in. I used a wrench to spread out the pressure more evenly. Again they were a bit tricky to press straight.



Previously replaced the passenger outer tie rod and steering rack guide. Seems much quieter from the limited miles I've put on it since all the parts were installed.

I still have a thud/clunk/nock sound from the front end, but I saw a blown up sway bar link that needs replacing. Maybe that?

 

This is on 32s with stock 3.91 gears. About 10secs. When it was on 235s it was quite a bit quicker.

 

well damn. did you click on it? should take you to photobucket.

 

That's about negative

 

well. picture me pulling out on a road. stopping, flooring the truck, my open diff at the time slips tire a little, various vrooming engine noises are taking place at this time. about 10 secs later the speedo hits 100km/h, vrooming noises lessen at this point.

 

Eh like $600...but I know a place with a substantial price cut. Fuck it I'm gonna order it.

 

$600 for exhaust? Hell nah

 

Lol I'll post a pic of the price I'm getting it for once I actually get it...knowing my luck someone's gonna say discontinued/out of stock/or computer glitch.

 

Ha ha. I always wanted one.

 

Really gotta get some sliders, and now a new passenger mirror.

 

I saw the video. It's as you described. Your truck seems just a little slower than mine. And both of ours are considerably faster than that one in the prior video.

 

The day I bought it. Isn't it cute?
