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

I would really appreciate it if you could!

 

Ahh, i thought this was the camshaft we were talking about. Carry on with the torch.

 

I'm just now having the same problem. All good til the drivers side rear lower bushing. Then frozen solid. Now I have to put it all together and wait for cam bolts. LoL.

 

Same here, passenger wasn't bad. It's the driver side that's being stubborn.

 

Switched out the factory 1.2w bulbs for 1.4w on the climate controls. I had one burned bulb. Figured 30 for $6.99 shipped, I couldn't lose. Turns out these are slightly larger diameter and a little longer. I test-fit one and it worked fine, so away I went with the modifications. --- I ain't paying $7 per bulb for the factory stuff.

So, I made a cut down both sides of the holders, crammed the bulbs in, re-wound them on the holders, then slightly enlarged the holes on the circuit board with a sharp kitchen knife (had to completely disassemble the controls).

I thought it might be noticeably brighter, but to my deLIGHT ( ) it looks factory. I guess .2 of a watt isn't really discernable. Now I have replacements forever. Now that I have so many I will never burn another one out. Murphy Insurance; a threat to the current set of bulbs, if you will.

 

Should have just went led

 

Installed a magnaflow muffler today

 

This is the one. looks identical to mine.

Perfect.

Thanks for the help gentlemen.

 

That might work for you. You may be able to get your dainty little hands down in there.

Might work for the top ones but not an option for the bottom ones. Access for me is only through the top between the radiator and the grille. There is very little room to work in there with all the crap in front of the rad. And zero access from below because of the bumper.

 

Long travel along with countless other mods in process. i don't think my truck goes fast enough to use these new rotors to their full potential haha

 

What kit is that? A DD kit?

 

It's a camburg long travel...kind of just mocking things up at the moment because it was highly customized on the last rig it was on. It just looks funny because the lower arm is hanging waay down. Trying to sort out some alignment cam issues

 

why do people think that drilled and/or slotted rotors are any good?

 

Slots are nice because they aid in the removal of brake dust and off gassing from rapid heating of the pad surface from the clamping surface which allows for a better grip. But the drill holes don't seem to serve any purpose other than looking kinda cool. The pattern of the slots on the last pictures are a bit confusing but I imagine they serve the purpose fine, and they aren't deep enough to proliferate cracking.

 

Is that a 10" coilover?

 

It's an 8"...Why-seem a bit jam packed in there?

 

Really long. The LCA is steep. But hard to tell I guess from that angle.

 

Well there is about an inch or more in length added due to the coil bucket adapter I got from total choas...an option would be to mount the adapter on the topside of the coil bucket to offset the extra length. That is full droop btw and the limit straps are obviously not installed. Might have to take another look at where I'm at under full compression...

 

Put it up for sale....

Now officially for sale in Sacramento:
