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

You change just that one mount?

 

Perfect except UCA it needs about a 1/4" spacer to be perfect ..rubs a tiny bit but not to bad only on compression..will just be careful til I get home to park don't want to possibly ruin new tires..

 

I'm still on the original coils. Never had and issue with these older style coil packs. Just wires every 100k. Don't think I've seen one go bad since I've worked at Toyota too

 

Get a set of replacement main eye bolts in case you have to cut yours, and be prepared to cut yours.

 

What would cause a high idle? Do I need to reset the ecm? Or just give it some time ? It's about 1100 Rpms afte driving several miles.

 

Post whoring today but i started cutting up my spare grill for a satoshi.

 

Hit 200k today!

 

You can pull the EFI relay and after about 3 or so start and stops it'll have relearned itself.

 

Thanks again, Zane! There is also a steel sleeve, correct? I'm assuming that gets reused, and it reduces from the 3/4" bushing ID to a clearance diameter for the ~1/2" bolts. Just trying to make sure I don't miss anything!

Great point! The truck is super clean and rust free, but not having new main eye bolts after cutting out the old ones would bring it all to a screeching halt.

Thanks, fellas!

 

Exactly. Thing is, even on non rusted trucks those bolts seize.

 

So after pulling my mud filled skids I found this...

 

Put some new rear shocks on today along with all new hardware. Oem Tokicos, but they will do for now till I can afford something better. My old shocks I believe were original and crumbled in my hand when pulled off. Soaks up the bumpy bumps better now

 

Shoulda gave her a little wire brushing and a quick shot of rust paint while you were under there.

 

Well a few hours and 30$ later and its fixed.

 

Seals pretty easy to replace. The needle bearing not so much if hes showing play.

 

Hate those front diff oil seals at the cv

 

Yeah I plan to get it undercoated soon...

 

Yep. PB Blaster is great stuff, but I've already found out what it can and can't do. I'm gonna take your advice and get a set on the way from wheelers.

Were you able to reuse the shock bushing sleeves? I think I might have found some on summit, just in case.

 

No sleaves used in the factory location.

 

Right on, brother! Thanks for the assist!

Another rookie question: It looks like I need the hourglass bushings with a 3/4" ID. Does that mean that the stock mounting bolt is around that diameter, or is there some slop between the bolt and the bushing?
