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

Cool, hopefully that fixes your clunk

 

Didn't do anything to mine, but i drained and dropped the trans pan on my uncles 04 pre runner.
Giant PITA.

 

Yeah the fucking tranny pan is a bitch!

LOL it wont go away, it's your coilovers

 

They do make sounds, my were super loud before I rebuilt them but after I can still hear them, along with my rear shocks and leafs, you might go crazy if you ever rode im my truck

The coilovers don't make a loud clunk but you can still hear it as it's metal to metal. Just giving ya shit

 

LOL

 

What's going on here?

 

Where were you leaking from the front diff? Axle seals? I think mine are leaking and I don't know how difficult of a job it is.

 

I knew it wasn't a priority and I could get it some with out it. So eventually I'll get one on there

 

Ran across this. Looks pretty cool. Someone buy it!!

lol naw.. it was the first time i had changed the front diff oil and i had over tightened the drain/fill plugs.. Got new washers and tightened them to torque. while i was doing it i noticed it looks like its leaking from where the cv axles go into the diff as well so when i replace my cvs i should probably replace whatever seals/bearings i need to as well.

yea i have not done any axle seal type stuff. id say its a bit out of my league at the moment. I'm sure with enough research you could do it though.

 

Got my ballistic joints today.

 

What are these for and do I need them?

 

Sweet! Have fun mate! Whatever you do triple check your creeper placement, don't end up like me fucking up the shackle angle twice

 

They can be used lots of ways but I plan on using them in leaf spring hangers. Allows for freer movement and less binding during articulation. Pic taken from Slodghetto's build:

Ha you did it again!!?? I have a good idea of how I'm going to go about it but the only thing is, now they may not be going on the Tacoma...

 

I think the answer is pretty obvious for most of this site.

 

I asked two questions. Which of those two questions are pretty obvious for most of this site?

 

Not sure if you are on Tapa but I bolded the "do I need them?" part because the answer is almost always yes regardless if you can afford it or if it goes along with any plans you ever had at all.

 

The bold shows up on Tapatalk. Creeper joint or anything similar are more of a novelty than anything else.

 

Ahhhh, I'm going blind I'm guessing. I just now saw that.

I owned and sold my 01 double cab without ever knowing tacoma world existed. Now I have an 02 that's almost identical in features. Wasn't until I came on here that I realized truck NEEDED so much hahaha. In other words, you are correct sir!

 

Ya at first it was too vertical, then I got it put back a the angle looked good and I got home and it settled and was flat as fuck, so I gotta move it back a bit for the best droop and ride height angle

And wtf! What is it going on!?
