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

I should add my original plan in the first place was to build a trailer out of the bed, but this deal came up for roughly what I was about to pay for a double cab bed and bumper. It's absolutely still the plan if I can't get a title for it.

I'll probably cut the cab in half and make the front clip a cool desk, or something.

Yup I think that’s who i talked to. Really great people.

 

Dude you're young sell that thing to someone in Mexico and move on with life.

 

The corner light fell out this morning, reminding me that I broke both of them months ago when I took the grill off to do the radiator. I pulled them straight out like you’re supposed to and the plastic just shattered. Had them just shoved in riding around.

Ordered some flea-Bay clear corner cheapos.

 

If you have a spare Toyota intake you can use a hose barb off that. Otherwise it's 1/8 NPT to 1/4. I've also seen folks use a whip from a grease gun.

 

my ac was off.

 

I would start by pulling the TB and cleaning it along with the IAC. You can then test the IAC while it's out.

 

Mmk I’ll do that tomorrow when I have more time.

 

Like off the pavement?

 

I found a nice big lawn in the suburbs that we can use.

Kidding. There’s an SVRA down by Santa Cruz my friend and I might hit up.

 

ah. I don't remember what a stock on looks like hardly lol.

Id just take it up all the way. Even with it up that high the rear bias is still low.

 

This was from last weekend's adventure, but not inside the park.

 

Has to be 2000' or more away from pavement to count.

 

Uh oh.

 

Ha ha ha . No
I'm going to remove the rear seat and make a platform for him. He likes the truck. The Tacoma is a wonderful truck,I just needed the room of a Tundra.

 

Good job picking up the greasable shackles, I just installed the Dakars on my truck a couple weeks ago with the non-greasable bushings and they are already squeaking like crazy. Really wishing I had spent a little extra on getting the upgraded ones.

 

Paid too much money to get my rear extended brake line installed($100). Oh well, too much is the price to pay when you dont have time to do it yourself.

 

I have one sitting in my office but I can't seem to find a good youtube video on how to install it myself; one video I saw on a 2nd gen Tacoma said it was a 2 person job
It looks pretty easy but I want to be sure I know what I'm doing before messing with my braking system.

 

god damn.

I think I did my first rear brake line in like 10 mins.
