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

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

 

Ya. There is a breather on the top right(passenger) of the clam shell. Mine fell off a wile back never noticed. :/ milky oil... But the diff is fine. You can see it if you are looking from the front of your truck to the back.

 

Yo goomba, how did you drop the oil pan? I attempted to do the pan gasket an hour ago and it flat out pissed me off.. Did you have to drop the diff and all that gay IFS?

 

Yeah you have to pull the diff to get the oil pan off.

Make sure it's not a pulley seal or something that is leaking. I had a slow drip coming from a seal and it ran down along the oil pan so that's where I thought the leak was coming from.
I didn't have the tools at the time to do it, so $600 and a new oil pan seal later I find out it's a pulley. $250 later it was fixed.

 

damn i love your truck man. really diggin the look of the fenders. cant wait to see it up close and personal at shoe creek!!!

 

Ya. You have a pm. And you need an inch pound torque wrench. Torque the bolts to 52 in/lb.

 

We were traveling at 75mph or better for any extended periods of time? I had this happen several times before i realized it always happened when i drove on the highway for hours at a time over 75mph. Took it to Toyota and they confirmed that when the oil gets heated up like that it will spit out the top. It's completely normal they say. Not the kind of news you want to hear, but that's what they said.

When filling, you want to be about 1/8" below the fill hole i believe they said.

 

Thanks man. They are 265/75/16's. The BFG's I had on were 285/70/17's. I lost I think .8" but I think it looks much better without that .8".

 

So if my math is correct that's basically like a 31.5 x 10.5 tire? (which is very close to my stock 31 x 10.5 x 15)

Damn that looks nice

 

Picked these up for my truck the other day Got a killer deal that I couldn't pass up

 

Got the truck on the ground, but the hubs are not disengaging worked fine befor the install... any help?

 

Yeah 1,200 miles out to Colorado and back. But it's still leaking, haven't been doing any highway driving since then.

 

I'll bet that's it. Clean it up and then monitor the engine bay and i bet it won't be leaking anymore. That grease gets EVERYWHERE and it doesn't take much to have the appearance it is leaking a lot more than it actually is. Probably the same grease from the initial leak you're seeing. Same thing happened to me, twice. Both after 1100 mile trips via highway driving.

Just my .02

 

shes lookin good man, is the front bumper a 98-00? i hope so cause i been wanting to cut the shit up to be like yours

 

Ordered Projectors, new headlights, and angel eyes!

 

What brand, where'd you get em, and how much?

 

Everything through eBay. Headlights were prime choice auto (kingdom auto parts) 35 bucks a side free shipping. Projectors are Jekusa 80 bucks with shrouds for the H1's and angel eyes are autotopia for 8 bucks just to see if I could get them to work. Don't have money for very expensive ones

 

Sounds good. I would like to see finished product. What color led's in the halo's? White?

 

I would too! Hopefully will all be here in a couple weeks. I got blue, but it's almost a blueish white so I liked it.

 

I put Christmas lights on my radio antenna...
