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

The antenna I use is VERY flexible, I don't believe you would have a problem with your garage door. I run the Diamond antennas on the highway, they have better reception for distant repeaters.

 

My truck has never seen the inside of a garage. It gets no love there.

 

My hit the over hangs at drive through a lot, get some funny looks

 

I havent done anything to my truck YET, but in preperation for a lot of stuff, I ordered a creeper and picked up a new jack with a harbor freight coupon.

 

Creeper is one of the best tools I have.

 

I have that exact jack. Money well-spent.

 

That's about what I had in mind

 

What kind? I tried one once and HATED it, but maybe it was a shit one.

 

I got the plastic blue one from Advance Auto. It was nice for a few weeks but then the middle casters broke. Trash.

 

Valve cover gaskets

 

Got rid of my broken stock CD player and made up this wooden push button switch plate instead. Ended up coming out really clean.

 

Last one done and freshly greased. Moves smooth like my bowels in the morning. Finally gonna get the driveshaft back in.

 

Looks nice, unlike the fake burl Toyota used on some tacos and runners haha

 

Aaand I got the carrier bearing on. Old one was so shot.

 

Compression test results are in. Motor is at 293k so I think these are pretty good numbers.

 

I got the plastic one from harbor freight. I'm not easy on it and it's been around for 4 or 5 years. You've got to make sure the caster nuts are tight, otherwise the plastic will fatigue.

 

I think that was the one I had, casters would not change direction for shit and would just make me angry. Thankfully I'm young enough still where I just lay on the concrete still.

 

Picked one of those up when I picked up the transmission jack. Figured I might need it when I'm under there pulling the trans. Now I think I'll just be on the concrete. I'll check those caster nuts.

 

Mine works great, even on the rough driveway. I used a buddies, the casters weren't tight and it wouldn't pivot. It's just so much easier and faster using one.
