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

I managed to lose a caliper bolt on the trail today. By the time I noticed it was gone, I was already too far to turn back and look for it. I tightened the upper bolt and used some baling wire from my “oh sh*t” kit to get myself home.
Now, could anyone tell me what the part number is for a replacement? I’m having trouble finding it. This is a 2004 Double Cab 4x4 with the 3.4l v6. Thank you!

 

Going to be 90080-10213

If you run into issues finding it, try 90080-10129. 90080-10129 was replaced with 90080-10213.

 

Home stretch!!


Here's the new duo bumps that they sent vs the old" I think 2nd gen" used and abused.
The others pair still in the package is supposed to be a replacement for the stock smaller hard bumps.
I'm not sure if I'm going to run them,trying to decide if I want to place them on the arms or on the trucks frame.
The solos are not offset like the stock arms. I may just try them in my boys 4runner.

Oh bald 35's kinda fit.

I know it's a jankey way to lift the tire but I couldn't get the jack under the control arm.

 

Thank you! Time to order a replacement (and probably a spare)

 

Spent the day cleaning the previous owners One Jug A- Week oil Leak habit. From valve covered gaskets Leaking. I'm gonna say for years.

 

Oh and pulled a motor with my hillbilly bring mountain to Moses setup. AKA LIFT MOTOR PUSH CAR BACKWARDS LOL

 

Just think of it as a thuro rust prevention method .They were saving the frame for you. Lol

 

Changed out the original brushes from 1996 on my alternator. 224k miles ain't bad!

 

Part Number?

 

If you end up throwing some 35's on, post how much you have to cut with the solo arms. Would be curious

Not today but brought her home after a long, long build!

 

Bed is off. Frame derust and POR15 is next. Then OME suspension. Gonna do a few other things while it's in the garage, adding tow hitch, breather mod, AC drain mod... Any other suggestions for things to do, particularly since I have the bed off?

 

Wow, I don't envy you guys dealing with the rust and corrosion. I'm doing a new to me motor install and other work underneath and its cream puff. I don't know how motivated I would be if I had to fight that rust. Hats off to you and your work. Im Spoiled with easy to remove bolts in Texas.

 

Mocked up the turbo kit today to see if anything needed preliminary adjusting or grinding. Maybe tomorrow I will weld in the turbo oil drain bung.

 

That engine looks mogged. Is that just for mock up ? @Speedytech7

 

Just my dirty ass engine with 157k on it. I just tossed the kit on to see if anything needed grinding before more cleaning. Moab mud stains things rust colored pretty good.

 

From my initial cycling I think just the flair and slightly more massaging of the fire wall. I'll try it again after the aliment.

 

Question, for those who have made a tcase skid, what material did you use for the additional cross member? I have some 1x1 .120 square tubing that would fit up nicely. I also have some 2x2 .188 square tubing that would definitely be stronger. Just a little torn on what I should use.
