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

Fixed a squeaky clutch pedal with a bronze bearing. Thanks Tacomaki.

 

I thought about trying the brass bearing

 

much appreciated

 

Simple job, 12 mm wrench, hack saw, file and a $2.50 bearing. Would have taken less then 45 min, but dropped one of the cylinder nuts and had to spend 45 min fishing it back up.

 

I don't know what to do here. My transmission skid is 3/8" from clearing the transfer case. I'm tempted to use a 3/8" thick washer at the trans cross member and extend the plate past the transfer case. I would have to cut some weight somehow. Maybe make it narrower. I've had a lot of people wanting transfer protection, but I don't have time to make a skid row type deal.

Camera angle sucks but I measured it...

 

Struts and ball joints. End links next or ditch them and leave the bar

 

With that code get a new MAF and if will run even better

 

They ever figure out what was up with your truck? Got mine back today and the valve cover gaskets seem to have stopped what little leaking there was. They changed the spark plugs too while they were at it, my baby runs like new.

*EDIT
Actually, I'm not exactly sure what it runs like new... I bought it with 220K... Nonetheless it runs good haha

 

I guess I'll make a tank skid sometime to replace the only rust on my truck.

 

That's all you get omg

 

Guessing u have a 4 banger? My 03 gets about 300 miles to a tank. Blue pearl, why drive with the ECT power on. That is probaly killing u too. No need for hwy driving. Only time i use it is pulling my boat or a load.

 

whats ECT power? I have a stick

 

For the auto, it raises the shift points for wheeling/towing. Just changes the Trans calibration while its activated

 

It'd be a lot cheaper to just use POR-15 or KBS coatings. It really does what they say.

 

The most I've ever gotten is 240 miles out of a tank on my 4banger auto :'(

 

Finally got new tires put on! I went with the Cooper Discoverer ATP in 265/75/R16 with all stock suspension. No rubbing!

 

Explored today. Got it muddy. Must say I'm pretty impressed with these BFG ATs. I hit some pretty sharp rocks today and they kept trucking. I'm sold.

 

^^^^^Looks like a lot of thread depth for an A/T.

 

Yep! Got it back about an hour ago. Blew the CV shaft seal where it enters the diff. Not sure what caused it because it was very sudden. But whatever, it's fixed and now I can focus on ordering my lift They did say the rack bushings are bad, which I already knew. So I'll pick up those as well and get that done when I lift it.

 

Lol you could've kept your comment. Tons of people run the BFGs and swear by them.
