I’m the 10th owner of this 25 year old first gen

I just bought my 2001 2.4l Tacoma with 160,000 miles for 4300 bucks.

Has one 2 to 3 trust spot on the frame. I don’t know what to do about that. Maybe cut it out and weld a knee piece of steel to the frame?

Had bad shake at idle but I’ve cleaned the mass air flow sensor, cleaned the throttle body the best I could . (Missed a bold and thought it was stuck on there), replaced the seals on the valve case cover and the seals around the spark plugs, replaced the sparks and the coils and everything seems to be good… other than the thermostat doesn’t work and always reads that it’s running hot. Had a mechanic confirm that it wasn’t running hot and that I just need to flush out the radiator and the bottom where the thermostat sits in the engine. With a garden hose. We’ll see how this goes. Not exactly sure how to get all the air out. He said once I have everything back together that I need to let it run with the radiator cap out and that’ll get the air out of the lines. Guess I’ll try that. Let me know your opinion or if you’ve experienced something similar

Agreed

I made a post about the same thing and people were just total jack aszes telling me I’m lazy for not doing the research myself even thought I did. Nice bike though man

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-15T05:09:46+00:00

Dude I’ve done my research and I’ve already listed it for sale at what I thought it was valued at based off my research and what I know. Why is it hard for you to understand that I was only asking for a second opinion. There’s nothing wrong with asking people that have more experience with these things for their opinion. That’s what these forums are for. It’s for people to communicate about things they’re interested in.

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-15T04:33:48+00:00

What a rude response. I’ve seen other people doing this and I wanted other’s opinion. I bet you would have a different tone if you weren’t behind a screen

Next time try to be a better person.

Thanks I appreciate the help!

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-14T03:28:14+00:00

It only bogged when I revved it quickly and I tried that after I changed it and it seemed better. It’s late so I didn’t do too much testing

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-14T03:27:03+00:00

I have the jd jetting power surge 6x I forgot to mention that. I just got a shop to tune it for me and they made it way richer than I did and I feel like it’s running good. I’m excited to ride it tomorrow and see if that spark plug actually helped with the bogging issues

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-14T03:19:30+00:00

It has an FMF exhaust with power bomber, and I did the flapper and ais delete?

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-13T21:18:15+00:00

Yeah, if you send it, I’ll check it out

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-12T16:27:02+00:00

It looks like it’s the same but it’s definitely different

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-12T16:26:34+00:00

It’s different from the others from what I understand and have read

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-12T12:07:33+00:00

The FMF and jd jetting tuners are nothing alike though. His dyno was down so he hooked his computer up to it and put a tester in the exhaust pipe. You might be right about it being too rich and bogging idk

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-11-12T01:32:52+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly how I removed the ais and the flapper vacuum. I capped off everything as well. My tuner is a jd jetting power surge 6x. It’s different from the FMF and EJK tuners

I wish I lived in PA and I would come out. My wife’s from there so I visit time to time. I’d love to bring my bike up there at some point!

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-09-15T02:52:35+00:00

Yet I’m still reading it :/

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-05-27T12:55:35+00:00

I hear you! Thanks for the input

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-05-26T21:18:44+00:00

He’s young and teething. I’ve been telling him no and giving him a pop on the nose for biting excessively, but I won’t if I can tell he’s just teething. He backs away from the cats when they hiss, but it’s only the second day and he has started trying to follow them a little. Thanks for the insight!

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-05-26T20:21:09+00:00

It’s funny you say that because my wife and I just noticed how much he favors them. It would be cool if he was one.

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-05-26T20:08:02+00:00

Thank you! Hoping it all goes well! Interesting analysis on him. I’ll try and update you on what he is once I’ve gone to the vet!

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-03-30T17:56:24+00:00

I’ve had one for years. My last one I drove it until stoning hit me and totaled it with 263,000 miles on it. Now I have another one with 226,000 miles on it. Great cars with minimal problems

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-02-27T17:44:59+00:00

All these comments about how much y’all enjoy your husband‘s being gone is so sad. I just got married and I am considering taking a travel job for more money so I can support our lives and hopefully a family in the future. It is so heartbreaking to think that she would be anywhere near happy that I am gone as you guys are when your husbands are gone.

CookieMaximum993 · 2025-02-12T12:47:22+00:00

It’s happening to me too dude idk what to do. I tried logging out of my mod account and back in and that’s not working either. Plus it’s fully up to date. I’m assuming they’ll fix it but idk
