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

Today isn’t to hot 95° only but for here that’s good!

 

It's a manual, so roll starts could be an option. Yeah, I've considered a few possibilities, including purchasing the tools so that I have them if need be. That way, if I need them, I have them. If not, I could return them.

 

lol just park on a hill - remember I did that when push came to shove in the day lol Good idea w/ the tools as a backup plan - of course if you go buy them it will die in the parking lot and if you don't it will go another 40k miles.

 

Drop the spindles off with new bearings and seals to get pressed in at the dealer. Passenger side front bearing was going out and sounded like I had mud tires. Decided to just replace them both and do the lower BJs while I’m in there (have about 110,000 miles on them). Noticed my driver side inner tie rod has some play. Planning on replacing my leaking rack and all tie rods within the next 6 months. Probably do the lca bushings and then consider the whole front end complete.

 

Sometimes just pulling it apart and cleaning it is all it needs.

Why's that thing hang 2ft from the bumper?

 

Part 4: The Last Full Day

...It was at that point that we were waylaid by the fishery folks who were back at the tent we'd investigated the night before - there to count how many fish they'd caught in their Archimedes-screw trap during the night. We chatted each other up for a few minutes - us curious about their operation; they curious how we even found this place - before setting off downstream.

Hike along with us to the confluence of the Snake and Imnaha Rivers in

Zane, you sell your hoopdy??

 

Truck's gone to its next owner. Still have my Land Cruiser and 300zx

 

Dang, who bought it?

 

My kid

@GuideWithVegvisir

 

@GuideWithVegvisir, hopefully he's out having fun with it.

 

Glad to see it went to someone here.

 

Haven't heard any bad news. (No news is good news with a knucklehead Private creeping around his first duty station lol)

 

Haha, that's good then.

 

Relocated my rear shocks today!

Still need to finish all the welding and get the bumps set up, but it’s mostly done.

 

Or get an LED flasher from O'reillys

 

Order this on Amazon. I get it tomorrow. Then I’ll swap it over to the marker lights.

 

Does anyone happen to know if the felt headliner is interchangeable whith vinyl headliner from the earlier years? I don't know if there's some sort of mounting structure they changed later on.

I have the vinyl now but an thinking about swapping to felt if its possible.
