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

Yeah but it's a Honda so it'll be cool! Everyone's doing it.

 

I want to boost my 700k mileage corolla.
But funds.

 

Then you can go drift it! FWD, no problem, pvc on the rear tires or drift in reverse.

 

I don’t think my 75 year old neighbor who owns the van goes very fast. Haha. I’m fixing it for him.

 

“Fixing” sounds like trying to wing it

 

Just be careful of the rear cam gear timing mark. People manage to be a tooth off all the time. Use a mirror to make sure it’s right

I actually have a little tool to hold the belt still when it’s on the mark while I do the other gear

 

Pretty much. Just following the FSM instructions.

That’s how I did the 4WD swap. I winged it.

 

Metal trays from a restaurant work too lol

 

Crazy how many problems the Sienna is giving him. The wheel bearings went bad, passenger CV, water pump seized, shredded timing belt, tailgate handle broke, parasitic draw on the battery.

He bought it three months ago. In his words: “I’ll never own a piece of shit Toyota again.”

 

I wonder if i can throw it on my frame

 

You want to throw a minivan from the early 2000’s on your Tacoma frame?

I was about to laugh at how stupid that is, and when I googled it, it appears that it is a thing.

I was just saying it because its a stupid idea...

 

I'd would change a few cosmetic things but I'd drive that.

 

Is the Sienna unibody, or body-on-frame?

 

Uni

 

Hmm those are usually pretty reliable cars

 

Previous owner must've neglected it. My mom has the 1MZ in her 2006 Highlander with 160k on it. My folks have followed the recommended maintenance to a T since they bought it new. Never had any issues. Timing belt at 90k, oil changes every 5k, tranny spill & fill along with other fluids as the dealer recommends. That car is what I think of when someone talks of Toyota reliability.

 

Maxxis RAZR 33X10.50 Tires

 

Thought so

 

Pretty much everything that isn't a truck is nowadays.
