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

It can be closed up, just need to adjust the brackets.

You are the most awesomest dad ever! What's your address so I can send a father's day card!

 

From summer hibernation to winter hibernation. Your truck has got it made.

 

Hey everyone. Just bought my first Tacoma a couple of days ago. 1996, 2.7l, 4x4, LX with 260k on the odometer. Pretty clean truck for the mileage, however there some small I want to do to bring the truck back up to stock. I replaced my driver side window lever. The old one was missing the knob. Next, just waiting on my rear window latch, then I'll order some new exterior window stripping.

 

Welcome to TW

 

Welded limit straps on.

 

Ah welcome aboard. I finally just bought one myself, earlier this week. Good times ahead for the both of us.

 

noice. my kit will be here soon

 

Welcome to TW!

You might wanted to post a pic, otherwise we'll kick you out.

 

Finished the Toytec shackles. At the lowest setting they are still 1" longer than the stock shackle. I'm guessing it is 2:1 shackle length versus lift so the 1" is 1/2" of lift over stock.

 

The 2.7 has a chain, but yah op should definitely check on the water pump for leakage and see if the pulleys grind at all (you'd probably have heard it by now)

 

I have often wondered (not that often) if the timing chain really ever could get enough slop to do any harm with all the guides and tensioners on it. Toyota calls it a "lifetime" part.

 

I'm guessing you might have experience.

 

Wax the silver bullet today with the machine...

 

Got the URD 7th injector in, 2.1 Pulley,changed the spark plugs, TC Diff drop kit and after we got done we felt kinda worthless so we did the Grey wire mod real quick. Then started drinking, ok,there was a few prior but it was after 10 AM I swear.

 

It's a 12" strap that came with the TC kit. If your looking for one, I would get one that is shorter. Maybe a 10 or 11. Depending where you mount it to the LCA.

 

I've changed the head at around 150,000 and the chain looked brand new. I don't see why anyone would have to change it. Its will take a lot of time to ware that chain down. It's more of the chain guides that worry me they are plastic. But hey now i'll have to worry about belts again.

 

Please tell me how you like it!!!!! I'm looking for a nice touch screen that is worth the money.

 

How does it ride compared to stock?

 

Ordered full OME heavy lift with the extra leafs and some TC uca's.

 

It is....I buried two hot wheel escalades...you know, so it seems real he crawls up them like nothing, its awesome.

Damn dude, sounds shity. Hope u recover quick.

Lol thanks man! Much appreciated
