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

Don't do it. You'll have it covered all winter anyway to keep the water out.

 

Late to the party so I don't have the back story... but your gear ratio is detailed on the code chart found on your driver's side door jamb

(link is for an '04 but it's the same for 98-00 and probably 95-97)

 

Yeah I know the drill

 

Absolutely pointless unless your into all the sucking sounds.... Even then there are better ways to achieve those if you catch my drift

 

How did you get the clear cost so clear! Mine came out very orange peeled and foggy.

 

Will do didn't know about that.

 

It's a great feature, and simple to use. At the bottom right of any post, you will see 'Multi-Quote +'. Click that on any number of posts and when you have chosen all posts you want to quote, you go down to the text box where you type your post and you will see an 'Insert Quotes...' button appear to the bottom left of the post box. Click that and you can post all of them in one fell sweep.

 

whats the sealant do?

 

2nd... PLEASE!!!

 

Seals.

 

Anybody have the part numbers for OEM lower ball joints? I've been digging thorough the internet and all of the Toyota online part dealers have changed their websites so it's like trying to swim through molasses. Boots have started cracking on mine so I figure it's better to change them now and have the piece of mind than wait for the decision to change them out is made for me. Especially at high speed

 

Yeah may be able to squeeze out an mpg or 2 if you get an afe filter too.

I got a little bit better mpg in my 96 3rz when I did the deck plate mod.

 

Toyota recall- the dealer replaced both lower ball joints, and installed a fuel hose protector.

I'm pretty sure....

 

Thanks! I have a bit of orange peel and overspray too, but I will probably wet sand it and polish this weekend.

 

Tried to see if I could be part of that but when I checked the only recall I can be a part of is the spare tire carrier recall.

 

You are the real MVP

 

They reused the old bolts I see... You'd think they would use new bolts.
