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

Built some shifters for the dual cases.

Pulled the transfer-case for final assembly before I finished working on the truck today. Only need to figure out the electrical stuff at the moment. Rewiring the front diff disconnect to a switch in the cab. If anyone would happen to have a 4wd computer wiring diagram available, that'd be great. Driveshafts go in tomorrow to get redone. Should be driving the old girl again sometime mid-week.

 

Only 20% hack this time. Much better than the 100% Velcro I've been running the last week or two. At least now the thing won't slide into the dash when I press a button.

 

Cant you just slide the collar and lock it in place/engaged ?

 

Bumper and swingout

 

Gunna starting calling my truck Patches

 

dang! If that’s the river I think it is (W*) I have never seen it that low. It’s has always been deeper than the hood when I’ve been there there. Did you come in from the other state or stay all on the coastal state side?

 

I could, but I'd prefer to wire a switch up to control the front diff actuator before I go that route. Plus I'd rather just get a non-ADD diff tube if I was to just go the route you have in mind.

 

I get that . Let us know what you find out.

 

We crossed the state line a few times getting there. The trail we took weaves back and forth

 

That's the easier way in. I'll never take the other way in again. Too rocky and slow - I'd rather ride my mountain bike.

 

Is the a 4xinnovations?

 

Quick question:

Auto IFS skid vs Manual IFS skid... is the difference to ckear the bottom of the Auto trans radiator hanging down farther?

 

not sure BUT the AUTO rad is longer than the Manual rad (meaning hangs down lower ±3")

 

@bartmaster... you've been spotted.

awesome...I think he only had that chain on there for a day or so too.

 

Took this J.C. Whitney bullbar and LED light off and sold it to a fifty some year old guy. Looks so much better without it. They were on there when I bought the truck a few weeks ago. Now I can get to work on making a front hitch for the deer carrier.

 

Poor guy gets so much shit

 

At least he didn't have his tent stolen. Petty theft is a such a huge problem where he lives. When I saw that story pop up on Instagram I barely had a reaction other than "well, no one is going to steal that now".

 

Sounds like that thing weighs about as much as a small house, but I guess a little big chain is cheap insurance.
