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

Damn she’s really starting to blossom haha

 

Paid $30 for a gallon of Toyota pink coolant to top her off

 

So it begins...

 

Did a few things yesterday.

1 front brake pad replacement
2 full oil change
2 front diff fluid changes
2 Tcase fluid changes
1 rear diff breather relocate
2 sets of BAMF skids install
1 set of BAMF slider install
1 full OME lift with ECGS bushing replace, SPC UCA install, pinion shim, and Ubolt flip, and front/rear Superbumps. (From @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc)

All on 2nd gens tho... Does that even count?

 

All that work and it's still a shitty 2nd gen.

 

Don't get me wrong... I'm 100% (1st gen) best gen. But 2nd gens are nice rigs. And have more cool stuff readily available.

3rd gens however... They are shitty.

 

@eon_blue @Speedytech7 @Blue92 how do I get this bottom shackles bolt out to replace it with the Daystar bolt?

 

Hit that bitch... Or cut it... The rust and shit is what's holding it in there.

 

They’re press fit, have to hammer it straight out

 

Thank you both.

 

Where'd ya get the hood scoop?

 

Thank you sir

 

They're pressed in, I thought the daystar bolts we're just for the main eye in the front if the leaf pack

 

Here’s round one of sandblasting, next up is the intake manifold.

 

I'm so far behind lol, what're you up to now?

 

Does anybody have access to toyotas wiring diagram site? I forgot what its called but its a very resourceful site. I need fusebox wiring diagrams for a 2014 toyota yaris

 

Newest mod for the truck, Alpine TRD I4 supercharger. Few things that need to be done before I can install it. Both EGR stud holes need to be welded shut and re-tapped, and the rotor casing side of the intake manifold needs to be machined flat.

Going to get it jetwashed too, the inside is absolutely horrifying from the EGR residue. I'm hoping the meth injection will help combat the oil and sludge buildup.

 

Technically yeah but I've used them in the rear for several months now and they work well. They're maybe 3 threads shorter than the stock bolt but I haven't had any problems. Didn't realize until recently that they make another kit for the rear shackles but the only difference must be the length of the bolt being slightly longer.

 

Eon blue had them on the back too. Doing the same.

Dumb question that I think I already know the answer to but these don’t come with instructions - military wrap to the front of the truck, not the back, correct? I ask because I’m not quite lining up I want to make sure it’s not on backwards before I go further.

 

Military wrap always goes forward, 1st gen leafs are uneven too so that's a good hint
