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

When my pulleys seize my belts melt

 

Thankfully it wasnt that bad when we caught it, still kinda intermittent. Basically we heard it, then took it in to get it fixed. Cant recall if they replaced the belt or not.

 

Finished building my bumper

 

Yeah it is for dirtbikes for sure. I just take the dog up there when no one is around.

 

Nice effort man. Looks good!

 

How are you breaking dowels?

 

Fuel pump should be pretty easy to determine, if it's louder when you're near your gas tank then it's the pump. I have the typical Walboro fuel pump whine so I'm very familiar with what whining fuel pump sounds like lol. I can hear it in the cab sometimes but if I put my ear near the gas tank it's much louder.

 

Spent the last two days ,i work slow. Replaces the lower control arms with a set of stock arms with whiteline bushings. I thought id be clever and make the job easier by replacing the inner and outer tie rods while i was at it. Still ended up having to move the steering rack. Mainly on the drivers side. Off to get it aligned in the morning.

I thought the passengers side was the only bad side but im pretty sure that the drivers side bushings were further gone.

 

The latter by far. Should have used a bigger one as in thicker handle.

 

The one I used was 14" long and the handle was like 1" at least. Tapered to 3/8 slowly.

 

Only does it when I'm driving, at idle everything sounds normal.

Shittsburg punches are terrible.

 

It was as though someone had taken the brightest yellow paint available, mixed it with sunlight, and spread it throughout the landscape. We were truly lucky to be here - a week before or after and we'd have missed this spectacular display!
