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

Depends on if the washer is integral to the bolt or not. 217 for integral, 187 for separated washer I believe.

 

217

 

snazzy brake light!
makes those 2nd and 3rd gens brake lights tremble at their masters

 

Thanks gents, 217 it is

 

got some estimates on powdercoating this and that
the spare salvaged winter wheels are a bit more than I thought they would be
fuel tank lower shield is not bad, will get that done as soon as I can get it off, hope its not too weathered to do
the frame is a very modest amount to do I thought, inside and out, friggn bake that chit

 

I finally got around to working on my truck.
New icon uca with delta joints
New lower ball joints
New tie rod ends
New extended travel sway bars
New wheel bearings
Manual hub conversion!
New cv axels
1” diff drop
Got the front end set to 4.25” of lift
I got tundra brakes but I ran out of time so till next weekend.

 

Looks good, but I hope you are good at changing CV axles.

 

Also notice the Moog LBJ?

 

Where’d you get those corner lights at?

 

where did you get the front license plate holder/protective cover?

 

My 4x4 has been slow to engage (sometimes takes up to 15 min). Transfer case shifted properly. I got down and checked the ADD (vacuum ADD for 97) and everything moved smoothly. Traced the vacuum lines up to the "little plastic dohicky" up by the battery. Used vacuum pump on it from there... no go. Unhooked both lines and connected the ADD side to the compressor. Blew out whatever has been building up over the last 22 years at 150psi. Reconnected the vacuum pump and pumped it up. Whammo! 4x4.

Reconnected all vacuum lines and shifted a few times, works as designed!

 

Ended up just ordering the HD wheelers greasable shackles. Going to install shims anyway so while im doing work in the area ill replace the shackles.

 

Hahahaha I finally had enough so that’s why I did the manual hub conversion, I shouldn’t have to change them again

 

Just a napa lbj unless that’s just rebrand?

I got it on Amazon and just used some stainless fat head screws to fasten it

 

Nice! Let me know how you like them and if they stay quiet.

 

My memory is kicking my ass. I use distilled water with my toyota red right?

 

Yes distilled for coolant systems.

 

Thank you Bud
