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

Has anyone seen a side by side or know the answer to whether the new gloss grey wheels (

$1,130 PTR20-35110-G4 (4)

PTR20-35110-G4) are lighter in color than the matte grey version? Or are they simply just a gloss version without the red TRD lettering?

 

Just rinse it reverse of the flow with some transmission fluid. There shouldn't be much of anything on it. You may see a grey haze on it that should pretty much go away once you rinse it.

 

Sweet thanks!

 

Tried to do some proactive maintenance and made things much worse. I noticed my clutch fluid was very dark a week ago and decided to do a flush. My flush involved putting new fluid in the reservoir and cracking the slave cylinder bleeder to drain into a 20oz bottle, I did this until the fluid ran clear. I believe I introduced air into the system and now I'm having trouble fully actuating the clutch to get out of gear.

[Edit]. After taking some videos, I've found that the slave cylinder does not consistently hold pressure. I can press the clutch pedal and on some attempts the slave cylinder stays extended, on others it slowly retracts and after a second or two the clutch is no longer disengaged. Does this sound like I still have air in the system, or do I have a failing slave cylinder?

 

Wok= Overlander, right?

 

I can feel my colon shaking from all that protein. Fuckin jelly man, enjoy it

 

So I noticed one of the studs on the output flange of my transfer case was loose. Splines are rounded on the stud and completely gone in the flange. I noticed my prerunner output flange uses nuts and bolts, can I just use those or should I get a new flange from toyota.

 

I would just order a new one from Toyota or aftermarket. Might need to get one with a larger spline as the id might have wallowed out on the output flange. You shouldn't need a new flange.

 

I ask about swapping to bolts because toyota does not seem to sell the studs by themselves

 

Just put a nut and bolt on it you wont die

 

I'd you have calipers you can take dimensions and purchase online. McMaster Carr is a good place to start.

 

For once I don't totally disagree with your half assed suggestions. If the hole on the flange isn't too wallowed out it shouldn't be a problem until he gets a new stud. But I wouldn't run it like that long term

 

What I find interesting is the 2wd driveshaft uses nuts and bolts but the 4wd uses studs.

 

He could take the stud 180 degrees away from it out and put the same nut and bolt there so whatever minute harmonic imbalance results is mitigated

I'm not wrong

 

Washed the uni , quick photo shoot, Max photo shop.

Generally removing and replacing used splined bolts is not recommended, has nothing to do with balancing so yes you are wrong.

That said I'm not really sure why they went splined bolts on the output flange for the t case and front diff. I don't really see a problem just tightening it up and running it.

 

There was a tsb about weighted bolts on driveshafts somewhere on this site for minute balancing

The bolt and nut would weigh different from a stud and nut thus throw off the Ballance in theory

Putting the same nut and bolt 180 degrees away would even it out

 

After taking a 2nd look I think I can go that route
