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

I just got a set today but thanks

 

Installed husky liners in the back today
Not fully satisfied with the "fit"
Maybe the heat will help them out tomorow

 

$100 on Amazon prime shipping

Wish it was all one piece
The middle part overlaps one of the mats and just lays there

 

@Speedytech7 Hey I remember you mentioning what you purchased to replace your vacuum tubes with - mind sharing some links? I know there's a few different sizes - mind giving me the scoop? I have a couple lines that could be replaced.

Also, if anyone could ID this part for me, I'd greatly appreciate it:





Gracias señors!

 

where we looking here? looks like fpr

 

Yeah, Never understood why one of the most popular Tacoma's (01"-04" x-cab) has had a fitted rear liner available.....

 

Rear Drum Brake Question:

Inspection tells me my rear drum pads have 1MM left on it.

Any thoughts on cost to replace? Anything else need to be replaced while "in there?"

Dealer quoted $239.

Truck has 207k miles. 2001 DC 4 cyl, AT. Rear brakes are OEM, never been replaced.

 

get the spring/hardware kit.

 

??

 

Probably want to look at replacing all of the hardware in there as well. Springs, retainers and whatnot. Also, check your drums wear as well to see if those need replacing. Esp with that high mileage.

 

Thank you.

Any recommendation on where I can get "all the hardware?"

Do they come as a kit?

I have 0 knowledge about drums. Appreciate the help.

 

Yes you can get the hardware as we kit. Carlson makes some pretty good parts. When I did mine, I think I used Centric Drums and pads. I bought a cheap hardware kit and some of the stuff didn't fit correctly so i had to reuse some of the OEM stuff. I don't put a ton of miles on my truck as it's not a daily driver, but I haven't had any issues with them. Others like to go all OEM parts. IIRC, brembo may also make rear drums. Someone else may know this for sure though.

 

looks like you were already answered. i just used a kit from carquest. worked fine. your shoe retaining pins are probably pretty crusty at this point.

 

OBDR Day 7: Out of the Mountains.

... And then, we arrived at the end of the OBDR and the Oregon - Washington border.
A non-descript section of road, where the gravel transitioned to pavement, we couldn't believe we were done.

850 miles of Oregon backroads, less than 50 of which were on pavement, and with relatively few problems.

Right next to the heater tubes and fuel rails in the back of the engine just above the center intake section.

 

Necro reply, been offline for a while.
Currently running a K30. I would not recommend that antenna, I cannot tune it no matter what I did to it. Ill be looking into a Wilson 1000 next or installing a firestick above the rear taillight.

 

Finished my ghetto snorkel:

 

Fuel pressure regulator by the look of it. My most recent trial has been of silicone vacuum line, can use it on everything except fuel vapor lines and PCV lines.

But regular EPDM line can be bought in bulk (how I get it) from Summit Racing or Jegs, hell you could probably find some on Amazon. But it is usually 25 or 50ft rolls. For what you're doing I would recommend taking one of each size to your local Oriellys or better yet NAPA if you have one and having them cut you 10ft of each. Just check the marking on the lines to make sure it is EPDM, pretty sure all of NAPAs is Gates or Delco so it should be.

 

Thanks man. Is there a diameter I should be looking for specifically or does EPDM come in only one size?

What should I use for the fuel vapor / pcv lines?

 

EPDM is the type of rubber with good longevity. That's why I recommended bringing one of each size to NAPA, so you could make sure you have the right sizes. You can use EPDM vacuum line for PCV and fuel vapor too. I was saying not to if you decide to go for silicone because fuel and oil will reduce silicone to sludge in a matter of days.
