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

Hey guys, trying to replace my front brake lines...how do you get the c-clip off? In the photo its behind the metal tab and impossible to get to...any ideas?

 

grab the lip of with a pair of pliers and pull it towards you in one quick hard pull

 

Yeah there's just such little room its impossible to get a grip let alone pull...it almost feels like its not a clip at all just one piece..

 

its just a clip... i had to rip and tear to get mine off. New brake lines came with a new one

 

It was time... before and after my engine cleaning. One day when it's not raining I'm gonna remove the intake tubing and repaint it.

 

Finally found the courage to tackle this project. Fabricated the mounting plate and wired it all up. Now I need to get my CB radio installed!

 

Got it out finally...took a beating on my hand but it worked, thanks!

 

Put it as far back together as I can.

 

There was myself and someone else that had OEM ball joints that prematurely wore out. 12 months of easy street driving. Camelback Toyota warrantied them.

 

Today’s project:

 

Hammer and right angle pliers, did it yesterday, it sucks but you'll get it.

 

Forgot to even post that @Kiloyard and I did this to mine yesterday.

 

Where is this taken at?

 

Looks like KP (or OP) to me...

 

Never heard of it
It it looks badass though

 

redoing my truck build list. i've cut alot of it out but the truck will be more capable for my needs. i dont see anything wrong with over doing it anyways, cause when this list is done and i start on my adventures im more then capable of tackling them. as much fun as the weekend trips are i want to do week trips lol. i probably shoud get HAM radio certified since CB is only good for 2-5 miles in most places.

need to finish my armor rock sliders, skid plates (waiting on for BAMF) and rear bumper.

 

Kitsap Peninsula or Olympic Peninsula. Located in Western/Northwestern WA.

 

Yeah that shit sucked bad....but I finally got them. Drivers side was even harder. My hands are beat to hell but I replaced all 3 of my brake lines with steel ones, rear is extended and brake fluid is bled. Brakes feel better than ever, still need to put the BPV relocation kit on next week though.

 

Everyone I knows uses HAM radios (including myself) and no one is certified...as long as you stay on the right channels you should be fine. There's a list somewhere on here of the best ones to use. 161.625 (iirc) 'Weatherman' is a common one.
