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

Forging can leave seams as well.

 

Just a simple oil change for today! Time for another 8000 miles.

 

If you're anywhere near the PNW I know where you can get one for $50

 

Got it. This and a crow bar. Had to smack this on then use a crow bar.

 

Added some patriotism to the truck today and received some goodies from skysoffroaddesign.com

 

I’ve been working at a Toyota dealer for almost 5 years now... only ever seen like 3 leak from the output shaft. Axle seals leaks though? Common as hell

 

Front output shaft seal. Replaced mine and no more leaking.

 

One side done hours later hopefully the second side doesnt take as long. I think it's time to strap the truck also

 

I think it's time for some aftermarket UCAs lol...are those stock ones?

 

Just curious, whats wrong with doing the copper one?

 

That's usually for metal on metal, like sealing a stainless crush gasket or certain old style copper or stainless head gaskets which are becoming increasingly more uncommon

 

Well dang, that's what we put on my pan gasket.

 

Eh it'll probably work anyway if the gasket was rubber. On cork or paper it would be useless.

 

Yea it was rubber

 

Nice, clean truck.

 

Lol it's the very first kit camburg came out with that was meant for 2wd trucks

 

Nice good choice, Skylar makes quality stuff and paved the way in yota and sammys.

 

@eon_blue should have also said it's there first lt kit that was meant for the prerunners

 

Does McMaster and Carr have one with the captive washer?

I've had three front t-case output shaft seal failures in the past 18 months. Still on the original rear output shaft seal.

 

Yes, rear main seal is ordered.
