I just did mine on my 1st gen Tacoma. I followed the video from @funjunkiegarage also. He was the only guy that had a video of someone doing this without pulling the entire drive shaft off the truck. Mine went nearly as smooth as yours did. I had some problems getting the two drive shaft sections lined back up. My truck was on a driveway with a slight incline. I put wheel chocks behind all 4 wheels but when I split the drive shaft it appears the truck settled back a little against the chocks. I had to get my foot on the front frame crossmember and push the truck forward while lining up the drive shaft and wrestling the bolts back into the driveshaft. Took a while but I got it. My stake nut was not staked either. And the drive shaft bolts were real tight on mine like yours. The torque spec for those is 54 ft.lb. but you can't get a torque wrench on them so I think people just tighten them way too tight. Also, the torque spec for the big stake nut is a 2-step process. You torque it to 134 ft. lb., then back it off and torque it again to only 51 ft.lb. The bearing is not pressed on but the 134 ft.lb. torque sets the bearing. Congrats on getting yours done! It really isn't that hard of a job. Other generations of Tacomas and Tundras have a different design where you have to disassemble the double cardan joint. That's a pain in the ass that I'm not sure I'd attempt.

Well apart from the weight savings, I haven’t spun a tire on a rim as of yet. I’ve aired down to 10psi in some cases just to see. The other factor is I don’t think I carry enough weight to squish the tires so 12-15psi is about where I am for

1) I might have to run offset in the -38mm range since thats what i see most wheel sets come in. 2) Not really since i knew i was sacrificing the load rating for weight savings. I ran the tires through different terrains with the last few runs at about 12-15psi with no issues other than some radial creases. Held up good to being pinched and some jagged rocks.

If your water pump leaks just a little , enough to get on the back of the timing belt which drives the water pump it starts to slip a little and it will start to over heat and pressurize the cooling system. You can't tell that its doing that because its all covered up. I'd keep putting coolent in it and it ran for a few weeks until it blow the top of the radiator off, blown head gasket! I got a JDM replacement motor and as I was taking out the the old motor I could tell the back of the timing belt had had slip marks on it and had been slipping on the waterpump so it could not have been working good enough. I haven't put the new motor back in yet (winter) but when I do I'll be sure to have the waterpump go on without RTV because it looks like thats what failed. I'm going to use Magic Lube, a swimming pool lube/sealant. Just a very light film on the gasket because it doesn't dry out or push out like it looks like the stuff that was on it did! My truck's a '95 T100 4x4. Its a lot of work but we both know is worth it. Good luck!

If yours has atf lines running through the radiator you should replace the radiator 5-7 year mark or 200k miles if you don't know how old the radiator fluid is to avoid pink milk shake. It will cost you as much in atf to flush that out and still risk having messing up the transmission. A new denso radiator is 150-200 bucks.
@morenothing4u4 ай бұрын
I don't remember if the tacomas had this setup but the gen1 Tundras did with atf running through the radiator. The original toyota red was supposed to be replaced like every 2 years or 30k, chances are the inside of your radiator looks like the thermostat if that was the original radiator.
@dr_omiz4 ай бұрын
hmm atf meaning auto trans fluid lines? Do the manual models have these cooling lines too? Not sure how old this radiator is but the thermostat seemed to be the culprit here.

@morenothing4u4 ай бұрын
I check looks like the automatics did have atf run through the radiator. Those radiator lasted like 10 years in California so about 200k miles had to replace them on a Tacoma and Tundra. Bought some used gen1 Tundras and sequoia a few years ago, they all had aftermarket radiators. One sequoia would be on the third one atleast because I replaced the aftermarket with a Denso one. That sequoia had over 400k miles. These were 01-06.
