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

That’s a long ass drive, lol. I don’t think I can make it there in 1st only

 

If you can get it into 1st without stalling, you've already done the hardest part. Changing gears is easy

 

Put a new battery in my iPhone. Old one took a dump.

 

True, jerry cans hold more. Damn I see you have like 5 roto cans, 1 roto 2 gal cost about as much as 1 jerry 5 gal. Justified!

 

Yeah, I got a great deal on the Roto's on CL (basically free when it was all said and done), and thought I'd like the smaller size of the roto's for maneuverability. But really, I don't like them b/c you just can't carry enough in them.

 

Okay finally done with the video editting.
Hope you guys enjoy. This was a hell of a day on the trail. I hadn't seen a Warn M8 winch stall before last weekend.

Pop out those front bushings and put the daystars off wheelers in, you will be happy you did. New leafs are always fun!


My taco related day involved new wheel bearings. When checking my LBJ I checked for signs of wear in the wheel bearings. Passenger side was def pitted and ready for replacement. No pics but glad I have all new wheel bearings in the front.

 

you start to be more conscious about spending, yup.

 

Replaced these.

Coolant lines for oil cooler
Replaced alternator with this big bad boy. CS-144 140AMPS

Mounted this in prep for new 4gauge battery and alternator cables.

Finish cables up on Saturday. Waiting for hydraulic cable crimper.

 

Anyone have any ideas for what went wrong on my speedo gear swap? It appears that the actual gear drive isn’t turning from inside the transfer case.

 

I was scheduled to have my windows tinted last Saturday, got home from work that Thursday, rolled the drivers side window down and the damn thing wouldn't roll back up. The switch was working fine, i could hear the motor trying its best to do its job but the window wouldn't budge, the next morning I called and cancelled the tinting appointment and ordered a new regulator and motor combo from Rock Auto. Installed it last night, as you can see the spring was shot.

 

Is this a first gen iPhone???



As regards to clutch mine grabs at about the middle, doesn't grab much. Like some have said I can release the clutch on 100% level and it creeps up. But I drove my buddies automatic 2nd gen off-road. How boring! You just pick your lines and add gas where needed. I'll never own an auto for a wheeling rig

 

Been very happy with my Marlin Crawler Heavy Duty clutch kit.

 

Is the heavy duty to much for city driving? Unfortunately I’ve got a few more years in the city before I can move back home.

 

If I had the extra coin this is what I would have got as well. Instead I just got the stock Aisin clutch kit. Which is what Marlin uses but with a heavy duty Seco clutch disc.

 

That's for water systems on rv's, so the plumbing doesn't crack. Would smear a window bad

 

I need to do this to my phone

 

Heads up Apple will replace an out-of-warranty battery for $30 at an Apple store. There was a recall or something on them so they lowered the price.

My iPhone 6s battery couldn't take a charge anymore, and I didn't feel like replacing the lighting cable port since you have to take the damn thing apart from step 1 to replace it. I got an iPhone X instead.

Such a pain in the ass to fix iPhones nowadays. I used to fix iPhone screens back in the day and it's just gotten harder and more expensive every iteration.

 

I need a new phone soooooo bad, I dropped a breaker bar on it when I was changing my leafsprings and bent it. Then when I was rotating my tires I drop my star on it and cracked it.
Doesn’t Help that it’s my uncles phone that he replaced cause it was old....Hasn’t been updated or backed it up since like November hahah....

 

Look how big the motor is the OEM Toyota vs the Cockauto
