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

Finished up our trip. Was a long slog home today. Made it home safe. Truck did outstanding all the way across and back. Wife and I are already discussing plans for our next adventure(s).

 

This is happening right now! I don’t think it’s ever been changed

 

what the screen for the transmission

 

Anyone use this rubber gasket the transmission? Or should I stick with gasket maker? Or both?

Yes and the fluid.

 

Rubber will eventually dry out and crack.

Id just use toyota FIPG. Shits amazing.

 

Sweet thanks. I got some basic shit it has a 90 minute dry time before I can torque the pan down. Any difference in dry time ? can i torque the fipg down right away ? Newb questions

 

I use cork. If it’s good enough for IPT transmission it’s good enough for me. I also don’t have time to wait for something to set.

 

I've always just torqued shit down. Probably not the "right" way to do it haha but never been an issue for me.

 

Haha right on !

 

you can bring it to the dump scale on a trailer and take it off and run through again. Thats how I weigh cars and stuff like that.

 

Finished the transmission filter and oil change.The first gear whine is gone. A while back in the posts someone ask me if I would update them if doing all this got rid of it . It did the whine is gone.

 

This.

I've had cork leak on mine.

 

Added a table to the swing out, also there are two broken taps that will forever be apart of my swing out haha

 

Yes. Thats the one. Make sure to get OEM. I went with an Amazon special first and it hardly lasted a year. Also, I've never seen another dealer beat McGeorge Toyota prices...

started to put things back together.

 

Looks good.

I think I've abandoned the table for my swing-out, since the propane bottle for my stove sits - inconveniently - diagonally behind the stove, and so makes a table hard. I've been looking for a different neck/line so I can move the bottle to the side. Until then, no pressure for a table.

 

Just run a hose with the right fittings

 

I've looked (lazily) for one, but haven't found any. I'm all ears if you know of one that goes from a Coleman stove to a 1lb propane cylinder.

 

Here's what I did.



Propane distribution post

$39 Stansport 2-Piece Propane Distribution Post (192-100)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002R5YRBO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_aZ3AFbNW9MTFX

Hose that runs from distribution post to stove... this will also run from stove directly to a 1lb bottle (threads are the same)

Hose I use if I am using the 5lb bottle but not using the distrubution tree.
