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

Perry parts front bumpstops got installed. Should have the chance to test these out soon in the desert on some high speed stuff. Hopefully they don't make the ride so nice I start breaking other stuff...

 

Those don't look like they will last long to abuse to me. Looks like they will split apart after some light abuse along the 3rd printing lines.

I'd look at Durobumps once those die.

 

The guy that makes them says they should last longer than duros and has a replacement guarantee

 

They have a 2 year warranty, so we'll see how they do

 

interesting. They don't look like they will last long given all the places it has to come apart.

granted I don't think really any rubber bump is meant to last long in this world haha

New heads finally came in
if I weren’t waiting on a single damn hose the truck would be going back together this weekend

 

Cleaned the EGR temp sensor on my daughter’s 01 because of the 401 code. Used a 3/8” line wrench cause didn’t have access to a 14mm. Worked fine. Didn’t realize coolant passed through the EGR valve.

 

For what it's worth I took Durobumps off in favor of the PerryParts. I've only had them since October but thats longer than I got from the Durobumps, the price is better and it came with stronger hardware too (10.9 stamped bolts).




@Burro
I would recommend getting a second set and replace the front bumpstops on the lower control arm as well. I still had some rubbing until adding the second set

 

I ended up throwing these on the rear of the LCA since that's what the durobump instructions said for theirs. Do you think it matters?

And the second set of perrys you got for the front of the LCA are the same PN as these correct? I guess if it is the placement shouldn't matter too much? I do see that durobumps use different parts for front and back.

 

You have it correct, I see that now.

And yes it's the same PN for the front and rear of the LCA with PerryParts

 

Technically they are different sized spaces. The rear is less than the front one. So if at the rear they touch first before the front ones. How that affect performance, not totally sure.

 

That's true and It may have some effect but I haven't noticed anything

Not really arguing for or against either of them but the Durobumps only replace the rear bumpstops and that would come into contact long before the OEM front bumpstop so it was a similar ish situation (I've heard Durobumps offer some for the fronts as well but I didn't get a response when I asked about ordering some after my original purchase).

The front bumpstops see almost constant action so maybe ill rotate them with the tires so they wear evenly

 

"clutch return issue" as in your clutch pedal doesn't like to come back up? If so, and if you have a V6, I can almost guarantee it’s your clutch pedal return spring. It's a goofy coil spring setup. The plastic bushings on it wear out, and then the slot in the clutch pedal that it rides in wears deeper. Most people just pop the coil spring out and replace it with a brake pedal return spring. It’s a linear spring, and the points to connect it to are already there because the 4-cylinder models use a linear spring. Here is a thread about it https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/clutch-pedal-truffle-shuffle.499079/ It’s sad to see so many people throwing money at something they can fix with a $10 spring. I know I did.

 

That is some interesting shit. I love the innovation 3D printers has brought to the automotive world.

 

Are silicone vacuum hoses safe to use for coolant hoses?

I'd use them on the two IACV coolant lines and the overflow hose

These are the hoses I have laying around that I would use:

$40 Upgr8 Universal 4mm/6mm/8mm/12mm Inner Diameter High Performance Silicone Vacuum Hose Kit (Blue)

Seems like they would work fine, right?

 

No, they need a rubber internal barrier for coolant, otherwise coolant and oils will leach through them

 

Glad I asked thank you!

 

Put sleeve over my turbo

 

Someone needs to make a front facing intake manifold for these engines. Would be so clean.
