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

Well this is from yesterday, but rear suspension is turning out pretty good.

Apparently not going to be refreshing the front driveshaft today... Thanks for sending a reboot kit Amazon. How the hell the two are mistaken for each other...

 

Exhaust is in with EGR block plate and downstream O2 block plate. High heat paint on the muffler.

 

Cool, thanks man!

 

Organizing and packing the truck.... Hung up a banner today too

 

240,000 miles on a 27 year old truck and the fork let's go. Original clutch still had ~<5% clutch left on stock gearing and 35" tires. Pretty happy about that.

 

Parts store ujoints are cool

 

So much room in there!; toolboxes moved somewhere else?

Where you headed?

 

I realized it was really dumb of me to put the box directly in line with where the truck pulls in, so it's over on the far side of the truck now. I've done a lot of organizational stuff to make working a bit smoother depending on what the job is.

Heading to Utah to see some things I haven't seen before.

 

jealous. Wish i was. hope it's fun

 

I'll bring back pics

 

You chose a good weekend, if it's this one anyway atleast, next weekends supposed to be stormy.

Just bring orange if you're planning on spendy anytime walking in an area with any sign of deer.

 

Looks like should do the rear main as well given that puddle in the bell housing.

 

My replacement

$659 sp9100 switch pros SP-9100 8-switch panel power system with concealed mounting hardware

sp9100 showed up.

 

What killed the first one?

 

Mud

 

Did you fab that yourself, or is that the OptOffroad kit? (Or, is that a different kit?)

 

That's just me degreasing the tranny to keep the nasty clutch material for floating in the air. But yes, definitely did replace the rear main seal while everything was out. Happy I had the Lisle seal puller, it's a MUST.

 

Knowing Cory, he fabbed it himself.
The towers on the opt offroad kit come fully welded.

 

No idea. Just stopped working. Code it was flashing said short in wiring. But even if it wasn't hooked up to anything didn't work. Seems like there was a bad batch of them just over a year ago. I'm not the only one who's had theirs replaced. Thankfully for free. So kudos on SP for doing that.
