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

Don't know the answer to your issue but what's weird is when my IAC gets dirty & has cold start issues, it will throw a CEL for TPS when I brake hard to come to a complete stop. Clean the IAC & the CEL for TPS won't come back for like a yr or two. I guess I really should just change my IAC already.

 

Replaced this POS Chinese made intake hose with a OEM Toyota one. After 2 years it was hard as a rock and crumbled when i took it off. $10 difference between eBay junk and Toyota price.
Like they say buy once cry once.

 

What is the Hilux snorkel that fits our trucks? I like the looks of those compared to the one for our trucks

 

Hilux 167 Series

 

Thank you Tyler

@m3bassman this had me rolling

 

Can anyone tell me the correct torque value for the lower ball joints? I keep getting conflicting information. I’ve been told 103 ft lb to 166 ft lb.

 

The 4 bolts on the bottom are 54 ft. Lbs.

The castle nut just has to be tight because you need to line up the slots with the cotter pin hole.

 

For the life of me I can't get this stupid shifter cap to push down and turn so I can get to the bushings. It goes down a tiny bit and then won't turn or go down anymore. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

 

I use an upside down set of pliers to push on it easier.

 

Tried it. Nope.

 

Check to make sure the two locating dowels aren't bent then, it's usually not super hard

 

Its going to Toyota. The one on my pick-up popped right out. This is absurd.

 

After parting ways with Ben @m3bassman in Boise, we headed southwest towards California - and the start of our next trip! Along the way, several cool discoveries, and memories of trips past, and I finally got to weigh the truck. Man, it's not light!

How many miles, was it serviced regularly, how far, and how fast you towing?

 

@BartMaster1234 Yeah ask the tow truck driver he should know lol

 

Just unbolt the rear drive shaft from diff and tie it up with a bungi cord. Flat tow that bitch as far as you want.

 

He pulled the door off to put in his power windows and locks. He found out that wasn't the best idea.
