    Nice clean truck! The front is my favorite design of all Tacomas. Same with the rims.

    Tested out the weather stripping on my doors. Which leads me to my question, on the Gen 1’s is there a short piece of weather stripping on the bottom of the door ? Or is it just the one piece that seals the entire door to the body ?

    I'm using a Hayden 676 trans cooler for the power steering. It's small but works good for the power steering. I also have a Magnefine filter inline on the return feed of the system. I sent my injectors off to Witchhunter Performance. Still waiting for those to come back. But they do warn you on the main page that they have about an 18 day backlog. I'm OK with that as it tells me they are doing a lot of work and I have always seen good reviews on them. I also have a spare vehicle to drive while I wait.

    I think it went pretty easily, minus the one casualty...

    Which by the way if you want a great set of screwdrivers with full tang handles...

    Can't go wrong with witch Hunter. Just don't call them too much haha, they do not like the customer facing portion of service work but damn are they good at what they do.

    Yeah, I haven't had a need to call since they do warn about lead times on the main page of the site. I've got confidence in their work from the reviews I have read over the years. I'm not in a rush but I am hoping to have the injectors back sometime next week. I'm starting to forget where all the bolts go to put the intake back on! o_O

    That was a :rofl: moment for sure when that happened.

    I was actually out looking a bit yesterday to see who carries JIS screw drivers locally. McLendon - Nope. Might go by Napa today. Looking for something like this:

    I looked around locally for JIS drivers when I was removing my oh shit handles (b/c on 98-00, they aren't hex bots) and couldn't find any. Interested to see if you discover differently.

    Interesting. Curious where you looked and what you ended up doing.

    The smattering of #2 standard and #2 JIS is annoying. But after taking two Japanese cars apart plus parts of the cruiser I find I rarely actually need the JIS for anything

    Yeah, our trucks have many screws throughout them that use JIS-spec cross-head screws. These drivers are worth having in the toolbox.

    Pulling the steering and drilled it for a roll pin. No more dead spot in the wheel. Thank God. That was driving me nuts:crazy:

    Swapped my valve covers out because of leaky gaskets. I have never done the job before on a Tacoma, what a PITA! I thought that I was prepared, got all my gaskets and seals, wrinkle painted the valve covers. I took a bunch of pictures before starting and during the job so that I would have something to reference if I got lost, ended not using the pictures but did open a can of worms. I am going to have to change some of the small hoses soon but I can get to them without taking off the upper plenum again. With all the work I did taking off all the parts to get to the covers and putting my repainted covers on this is all I have to show for it, all the other stuff is hiding them!20190728_113759.jpg 20190728_113747.jpg

    Nice work. Here's a thread on silicone hoses. I just replaced most all of my hoses with new OEM. I didn't know about this hose deal at the time.

    Had to pull the wheel back off cause I had it one tooth too far to the right. After I got that settled, I detailed the interior. IMG_20190728_160734781.jpg IMG_20190728_160805252.jpg

    Also, I slammed my finger in the door and will be getting a nice blue fingernail from it.
