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

Kinda understand. And yes...special enough that I have a picture of Monte and Jon making that bumper hanging up in my garage.

 

Today I swapped out my battery, LOL! Nothing major but I still like getting under the hood anyways.

 

Positive. Bought them from camelback Toyota parts department. Still have the receipt in fact

 

Whoooog Whooooooog! Thanks @BartMaster1234!

 

What antifreeze you guys use if you can't get OEM?

 

it was a special week that's for sure. Lots if great memories.

 

Getting ready to put my summer wheel and tire combo back on. I spent a good hour scrubbing the factory wheels front and back and they looks tons better. They had a slight brown haze deep in the spokes that the Chemical Guys stuff wouldn't phase.

This wheel cleaner is the shit, it's not for every wheel finish, but it worked a miracle on my stockers: Meguiar's D14001 Wheel Brightener

 

I use this red coolant. Most auto parts stores have it.

 

The Prestone green stuff. Has the right chemical needed to work in our motors.

 

I drove down to the river to do some fishing and well it was a bit muddy

 

Got the same ones when I replaced the calipers. Solid upgrade.

 

Eureka Dunes, from Steel Pass.

 

@drr I realize it doesn't mean much but my timing advance on hard acceleration is anywhere from 22-26 degrees and at idle is around 10-13 degrees

 

Yeah, at the price it was a no brainier. I know there's a group buy on this forum but at about 2x the price it didn't make sense to me

 

3rz intake looks a lot more simple than the 5vz but it's a pain to take off.

 

Mounted up a LockBox in my bed today after installing a double din in the old lady’s 4th gen.



On a side note, I’ve got a complete rear axle from when I did my elocker swap. You guys think it’s worth holding onto Incase I ever need the axle shafts/wheel bearings out of it or just sell it as a complete?

 

Hit up the Pilot Rock 4x4 trail today...starting to get too hot for me out here. About time for my annual 4x4 hibernation, unless it involves traveling farther north or deeper into the mountains.

 

That is exactly what I read in the post. I will look into that as well, but I havent had any issues until this week. Have had my eaton in there for a year..

Highway driving is what did it, but toyota put 1.5 qts in there. Pretty mych gave my diff the flu n it puked all over the place. It scared the shit out of me. Was a good wake up call and a good lesson. Its too bad my diff plug was froze, woulda never happened.

On a side note since the truck was in working order it was time to test my new rear suspension set up, works fantastic! Plus the guys at firestone fixed the rubbing with my alignment. Didnt get me to what some suggested but it sure is money.

 

Nothing sexy, just gutted my interior for a super Spring cleaning. As you can tell, I have not done this every year.

No after photos, had a honey-do list that demanded immediate attention.

 

What are you doing in here @desertjunkie760 lol
