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

For all you diff fillers. Keep in mind that that rear suspension lifts can and most of the time will, rotate the axle housing to a degree. Most of the time it will be pinion end up. This effectively lowers the height of the fill hole. This is even more pronounced if pinion angle has been properly corrected thru the use of angled shims. I fill to near 3 qts (e-locker) and I have to put my thumb over the bottom half of the fill hole to get the last 1/2-3/4 qt in.
This issue is why the different wheel base (drive shaft lengths) have different capacities for the same axle.

And thanks Pliny for explaining the jiggle valve bit. I was getting tired of repeating that to the search challenged. You can carry the torch now.

 

Brand new already. Like 6 months old maybe.

 

Umm

Must


Do


Mine

Pleaaaase!

Haha, that is sick dude!

 

AWESOME!

Did you do a DIY?
Where did you source the headliner material?

 

Must know where and how you did this..

 

Remove headliner. Get fabric. Glue fabric to headliner. Replace headliner.

 

If you mess up once though....

 

I have Realtree on my head liner which I will swap for a tan headliner! I also have the matching seat covers that you can have with my head liner.

 

Haha thanks man, I'd love to do it again actually if your up to it.

Yessir did it myself!
Good ole joann's fabrics had this pattern I really liked. But Amazon had a lot of good camo fabrics that I was considering.

Some guys above pretty much hit it on the head haha.
Although Ill add that whatever fabric you use, Wash it with a metric ton of fabric softener to make it easier to work with. And for the glue, use 3M super 90 spray adhesive. That will hold just about any fabric with eaze.

 

crappy pic with the new suspension

 

Well I already have king ranch leather seats so a new headliner would go good with them along with new flooring.

Thanks for the heads up. Can't stand my ugly ass grey headliner. You'd think over 11-12 years it should've deteriorated but alas it's a Toyota.

 

New stereo installed, thanks to TWSS!

 

I wish I had the Gray interior. Between the brown seats, Brown dash, brown floor, mats, and the roof, I just had to change something hahah.

But its a super easy job, I did it in about 2-3 hours. I would definitely let it air out for a long time.. I didn't, and now my truck is fumigated with glue.

 

There we go! Lookin good.

 

And u live close by huh! Lol...my wife said "don't get any crazy ideas"! Haha...it came out great bud!

 

there's a thread for the FSM in the 1st gen subsection and it works just fine, where I got mine

Thanks! Haha got to listen to the boss!

We should get a Hollister Run organized for the winter break. Haven't been up there since I got rid of the Drop Bracket

 

My UG showed a P0750 code on the way home today. Yay.

 

Haven't been on here in a while, but I bought a 1st gen about a week ago. Traded in my 2006 4cyl Prerunner... couldn't handle the snow in southwest Colorado. I've taken off that stupid dealer tag and put on my softopper from the last truck.
