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

Use aftermarke

 

Added a ram mount I picked up for cheap from a member on here. Using my iPad for music, nav, and to use a obd2 app.

 

Dose that mount under the passenger front seat bracket?

 

Dude that jump looked like a blast! Shows how versatile those 5 lugs can be with just a 'little bit of modding' looks great man

 

Does atf shrink in volume when it goes dark?

Last i checked my atf was cherry red and full just checked it and it was about .75 qt low and brownish

Zero leaks

Idk what type or brand it was in the truck when i got it

 

No. But temperature makes it lower when it’s cold

 

did this about a month ago but never posted about it (how dare I) new spark plugs and ignition coils

 

i like the switches

 

Heres a new one, it's 2am wjere i live and there was a wet corner so i went over it and floored it to initiate a sicc slide only for my traction control to correct it

While the traction control was doing its thing it was like the trans put itself in neutral (empty reving to redline) is that trans slip or abs being weird

 

Traction control kills the throttle too...

 

But it was redlining... it can only kill the throttle to 30 percent since it physically opens that much it opens at full throttle

 

Going from
Full to 30 will still feel like it went in neutral.

 

Ok... but it redlining... was that trans slip or wha?

It has like 40k on a rebuilt trans that i don't feel shifts right compared ti how my tacoma did but its an entirely different setup so ehh

 

I can’t tell you without feeling or at least seeing what’s happening.
Traction control feels like you lose power.

 

Sounds like it felt right than

But what didnt was redlining and not going anywhere

 

Picked up a used camper shell today. Ordered a couple of quarts of paint to match the rest of the truck.

 

wow, that's a lot to chase down some MPG and ride issues

 

Did the breather hose come of the diff? Or is it coming out of the hose itself?

 

@m3bassman mine did that right after I changed the fluid when I got the truck. I’m pretty sure I overfilled it a little and on my first off-road use afterwards caused it to heat up and spew out the breather.

did you recently change or add diff oil?

 

Maybe drive it around and see how hot the diff is getting, maybe compare it to the rear after being in 4wd. If it's getting hot it would cause the fluid to expand. The heat would be caused by a failing bearing or an issue with the gears.
