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

I'm doing the same today with my new 32" pizza cutters. Hopefully I just need to heat gun the liners.

 

Which tires are you running?

 

you"re going to be jelly but i made a deal with a friend of mine to trade his built land cruiser 80 series float axles for my spare set of one ton axles.

 

KO2s 255/75R17's on 2012 FJ Cruiser Trail wheels.

 

Purpose: to trap mud and rocks to alert you that your truck hates mud, don't do it again!

When I need to do wheel bearings again I'll likely leave them off.

 

Replaced right side axle seal. Someone used gasket sealer instead of the outside “o” ring. That crap was all over the inside of the bearing housing and the ABS sensor. F’n pain in the a$$ to clean up.
Local place wanted $500, including brakes. I’m under $100 all in.

 

That o-ring is like $5 What a dick. Glad you got it taken care of. Make sure you pay attention to the other side, when one went out the other was out within 6-8 months....

 

Less than $5. I paid $3.82 from McGeorge Toyota, honestly the one cheapest OEM part dealers on line. Other side was good to go...for now.

 

Mounted a cheap air horn setup and plumbed in an air hose with a QD. 120psi OBA and a sweet horn for those pesky texters in my way.

This is the one.

Down fire blast when I pass.

 

You install a camera to catch there faces when it goes off too?

 

picked this up off craigslist for 100 bucks. Needs some finish work. But cheaper than I could've made it. Has 3 coats of urethane sealer on it. Fits a full size sleeping pad.now I can move crap from my cab back here.

 

No. I had to go into town to the parts house for a 12v relay. I spliced into my horn but was losing to much voltage from the 16g wire ran from basically my air box to in the bed behind the passenger. Installed it at a car wash on the outskirts and then 10 miles back into the woods. I ended up using it 3 times at texters. LOL. Love this thing. Now I’ll be looking for some bigger horns to get a deeper tone. This quad is loud but it’s a higher pitch than the 18 wheelers have.

 

New sticker.

 

@BartMaster1234 , I've hit Gunny up several times for part numbers. Just give him you vin number, and he will get back to you really quick. I just dropped $400 bucks at CamelBack Toyota in Arizona. Some things are worth buying original Toyota parts, and from what I've seen here on TW, Ball joints are one of them.

 

Sure someone has helped you already, but you can order a new ignition column and swap it out (super easy if you can shimmy the key and get it to turn to ACC) for like $25

 

do they offer free shipping if order total is over certain amount?
not including large or very heavy items

 

McGeorge price with shipping works out to be less overall than the free shipping deals. Once you pay for shipping on the first item, the shipping cost for subsequent items is lower. I once saw an online parts supplier that had the best price per item, but the shipping costs for each item were like separate sales and shipments.

Compare the price at McGeorge for an alternator to any other online dealer to see the benefit. Since I will be spending over $1,000 with them this year, their pricing discounts add up and make a big difference.

i need some rare parts, i tried camelback with free shipping over 150
they were small parts though!
project: save a taco

 

Indy time in the 02

 

No clue, I’ve only ordered small stuff. Shipping has been reasonable. Amazon, they are not.
