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

I did a quick search

 

Working. Not super clean of an install but they are working.

 

I found a barely used one for a good price... although the next 6’ one that pops up is going on my Dad’s 2005.

 

Was trying to catch up after a session this week.. gave up lol

I did an ABS delete in Igor's build thread. But honestly, just pull the fuse and be done with it. Especially if you decide to have it back again.

Here is my double cab with the coilovers(Kings) at 0". The drive side I think had 1-2 more threads to make up for the Taco lean

And agree about 550 coils for the single cab.

 

Can someone take a pick of the parking brake switch, there should be a plastic cover on the arm. I'm trying to see what it looks like as mine broke. Thanks

 

Damn, holy porosity batman! Hope you have a good grinder, and another run with the welder...

 

i'll give him credit.. its pretty good for someone whos never actually had proper training or even someone show him

 

Ha, it most certainly looks that way. Did you ever fix it? What was the issue?

So either there is no plastic cover on the part that contacts the switch or every picture I've seen has one broken. Well I guess I've got to figure where the shards of 20 year old plastic came from, or just forget I broke something.

 

For what it's worth. Mine doesn't have a plastic cover on that part either.
These e-brakes are pretty temperamental. When I go offroading, the light will come on and off. Assuming from the switch just being real finicky beneath the dash.

 

Or your fluid is low. I had this happening to me. I flushed the old fluid and filled to max. Hasn’t happened again.

 

Do the flywheel bolts need loctite?

 

It’s a good idea. Red is what I use

 

New tires. 265-75-16 Firestone Destination AT2.

 

Looks Awesome! Wish my 2.7 was as clean as yours! Maybe one day lol

anyone else ever have this happen?
@mechanicjon ?

 

Pulled my front skid plate and topped off my front differential after installing the ECGS bushing and new seal last week.

 

Threw some Phillips Xtreme vision h4 bulbs in. Not bad, def better than the factory bulb

 

That sucks. I've been chasing some issues with my brakes as well, no fun.

That bushing is gone. Fixed it before I did my swap. I could've sworn I knocked to e brake when it fell off. It's white, I looked around a bit more today and don't see anything obvious. For all I know it was just some crap I tracked in there.

 

Machined a switch bracket today out of some acetal I had laying around. Laser cut the blanks out so I'm guessing the switches are a bit out of square. I could've cut it out of the sheet metal in about 15 minutes but figured I wanted chips everywhere, my life to be just a bit more difficult and most importantly not have to deal with paint.

And yes total mall crawler, I'll probably never use the front or break everything if I do. But why not....

 

I loved how 'real' you were about it
