2008 Toyota Tacoma Front Brakes, New Pads and Resurface Rotors
Save lots of money and do your own brakes. Save more money by getting your rotors resurfaced. Store wanted $180 for new rotors. These were fine and just needed to be cut to get rid of the grooves. If you change your pads before they get this bad you probably don't even need resurfacing.

Flashback to 2016 when I was working on the bug. Polished up these wheels I've had for years. Problem was I didn't clear coat them when I was done so they are dull again. It was good practice though. Next time I know and will do a better job polishing them as well. I will get in all the crevices to get them perfect. These are nice wheels that look great when they are fully polished or chrome. I...

What To Know Before Lowering Your VW Bus | 1969 VW Bay Window Bus
Nice video that's a good idea to cover the tops of them with cardboard😊
Thanks! 😊
My freezer is not freezing can you help
There was a recall part on this model. Check that first. Call Samsung to check. Model number should be inside.
I have 09 Tacoma I changed oil at the dealer they use 5W-30 toyo convention oil. My run like new.
Thanks
Great job!
Thanks!
Thanks for your video. I’m attempting this tomorrow, actually fitting adjustable spring plates
Yeah. Wish I would have done that so I could adjust without having to redo everything.
Nice !
Thanks!
Just ordered it after a couple weeks of my glove box stuck open. Hopefully it goes smoothly.
I added those but I don't have power on the left side, and very dim on the right side. No blown fuses.
Make sure connections are clean and tight. If your stock lights worked fine then maybe the new ones are defective. Ask for some new ones. Mine work fine and still look good as of today.
@SanDiego_VDubLife thanks for the reply, I bench checked the old and new lights they work fine. Fuses are good I can't figure out what's the deal with this smh
@@MrAlexjr06 Bench test won't identify if there is an issue with connectivity. I would reinstall the stock lights and see what happens. If you have no problems then it is the after market lights. If you face issues with the stock lights when reinstalled then something went wrong with the connections.
Slippery when wet
Good to know. Glad I live in SoCal.
That is the worst decision of your life They are extremely poor quality with the most complaints against a manufacturer todate
Wow. Interesting. What type of complaints? They seem fine so far. I have been driving everyday with plenty of miles.
I put a set on my Rav4 😂 Lovem❤ co$tly but nice
@@Probe253 awesome. Good to hear. Yeah over $1k. Ugggg
Separation, egging onside walls, delaminate at speed, cords braking the list goes on They were made in the USA, now made out of the USA
Good tutorial, thank you! I'm looking to raise mine, haha. Should be a similar process.
Yes. Same thing. Just turn the other direction.
just installed a set of these into a 02 GTI. the car had factory fogs, plug and play. Did you figure out what that harness with the little clip is for?
Not sure what which one your talking about but if it was extra it was prob for the fog lights that I don’t have on my car stock so I will have to go buy some OEM fogs to install on these light housings. I may do that in the future.
@@SanDiego_VDubLife the smaller bottom light should be the fogs.
Thank you! This helped me alot! the Instructions were not very clear. I appreciate it!
Glad it helped!
Great job 👏 very well explained thank you brother 💯💯
Very welcome
hey did your model have the touchless option where you just hit the top and water turns on?
No sorry I did not get that style. But those sound cool.
Good idea I'm just gonna fix my golf 6 with magnets 👍
Good idea
Very good idea!!
Thank you! 😊
Blue diamond like liquid
Use a gas weed eater and you won’t need those blades.
This is exactly the kit I used for my Beetle, however on my Beetle (2001) it took a bit more "creativity" On my Beetle the screws are set way deeper, so if you somplt put the magnetic catch in, it is too deep to catch the metal disc on the lid. Also they are at an odd angle and will not contact the lid nice and flat. So Beetle owners, if you want this kit to work, you have to be a bit more creative. Do like I did and mount the magnets at the very top edge of the glove box. I dropped the glove box, and epoxy in a wooden strip of square right behind the upper lip of the glove box. Then after the epoxy is all set, drill a 12mm hole, but do not go all the way threw your wood, just a hole threw the plastic to expose the wood. The mount the magnets with the screw provided into the wood. Set your black metlel catch prices onto your lid on the perfect contacting spot and your good. The Beetle has to be different and difficult, but it works marvelous 👍
Nice. Thanks for sharing. Good advise
I think you can turn the tie-rod tube without taking out the tie-rod end. It's the reason why they have opposite threads at each side. Some tie-rod bars have a flat side portion so you can get a wrench on it once you've undone the locknuts.
Yeah mine didn’t have the flat spots to turn the rod.
Leave 'em stock. No issues.
True but I wanted to upgrade to a newer style cooler. This style came stock on the later engines that VW built. Maybe 1600cc and later. It allows the air to flow directly onto the number three cylinder.
do you have to use the wiring harness adapter?
Not necessarily. I think you can do without. Just have to clip all the wires and match them up
Never seen this done
Yeah. Me neither. It was my first time seeing this tool. I paid $120 to have all four tires mounted and balanced and sensors programmed. Not sure if that was a good price or not?
@@SanDiego_VDubLife doesn't seem bad
how did you clean the drain hole if it's clogged up?
You can pour hot water if it’s ice. If it’s food or debris you can try a coat hanger or pipe cleaner
My truck is a 2016. Still good
Yeah. Mine is a 2008. Been out for a while. Keep an eye out the battery could go out soon. Replace when you get new tires.
Hows it holding up so far? How waterproof is it in your experience?
Doing great. No water gets in even when it rains! Still looking good too.
How do youresecompresser
I tried several time to change the display color from blue to red and no luck! What am I doing wrong?
Hello Brian, sorry to hear it didn't work. To clarify there is two options, one is to change the button color and the other is the color of the screen display. This video shows the process for the buttons. But it is a very similar process, it is just another step in the process. Keep going until you see the option for display and then hit select. Lemme know, maybe I should make another video explaining. Would you please watch and share that video if I make it?
@@SanDiego_VDubLife Yes Please!
@@briancloutier2781 ok no problem. Will do later
@@SanDiego_VDubLife no need I got it! Thanks
Thank you. Very detailed and helpful .
Glad it was helpful!
Man, I just replaced my starter on a 06 Tundra and I noticed the same sharp/faster sound.. wondered the same.. maybe because it's new.. took a day to get used to it but damn feels amazing to have it start right up
nice. glad it worked out. I still get vibes every time my truck starts first try.
Where did you get the been from?
I ordered it from CIP1. They sent it super fast. They are in Canada, but they get the beams from the UK. You can also try Vintage VDubs
Thanks for the video - Excellent! Just fixed my 09 Tacoma using the same methods that you did and it's working well. This literally saved me $700.00. The dealership wanted $500 for a new module and around $200 to install it. Great video.
Awesome, yea dealers are crazy. Mine actually stopped working again, but I think it is because I didn't do the soldering right.
I have ford focus ST I decided to remove the seats lot easier to get straps under it. I have had issues before with seat covers that come off the seat getting in and out of the car. Easy to unbolt seat 4 bolts 15MM socket on my dewalt impact driver I just flip ed the seat back so I could get under it.
Hey that is a good idea. I actually haven't had any problems with the seat cover coming off or sliding around. I just noticed lately that they are starting to fade a little bit so I might replace in a year or so, but they are so inexpensive it is worth it and they work great.
Saludos amigó! Exelente trabajo, heres un genio .abra alguna posibilidad q en el vídeo salgan las medidas y pulgadas del puente y las dos placas que sostiene la masa para podernos jiar en nuestro proyecto, te lo boy agradecer mucho 👏👏🤗👍🇲🇽
Hola. Perdon pero no hablo español bien. Si tienes Instagram por favor mandame un mensaje @sandiego_vwlife
Ok, I have had this for a year+ now, and I cannot get my string head off to swap and try the orange blade head. When I twist it to the unlock 75% of it pops out like its supposed to but a portion of it is jammed in there. Any tips on getting that out anyone?
Usually it’s dirt or grass stuck in there. Try spraying with compressed air. If that doesn’t work try scrubbing with a toothbrush to loosen anything that may be jammed in there.
Yes the manual sucks, but come on my 10 year old granddaughter put it together without any instructions, and boy ,she ain't no genius lol. She only looked at the box. The only problem i have is trying to reattach the cutting head it is verry stiff but hopefully it will loosen up after use. I have limited use of hands due to arthritis so the line crank helps me out.
Yes. You can spray with compressed air to help loosen dirt or grass stuck in there.
How do you put that on?
Check out my other video on how to install. I will try to share the link
Thanks
No problem
This is literally the most difficult thing I have ever attempted to do.
I’ve noticed the older and more use my string trimmer gets it can get more difficult. But if you take a brush and clean the head to loosen up the dirt and grass it comes off easier. Also clean before putting back together. The slots need to have a clear clean grooves to remove and install easier. Hope it helps.
Good video , i just had a pair of EMPI's to rebuild , the carbs i received had F3 in one and F56 in the other carb also different jets . i got the imulsion tube out be using a self taping screw into the tube hole and pulling it out . Done loads of Weber 34 ict's these were the first EMPI epc34's i have done nice carbs .
fitted new F6 Imulsion tubes for 1600cc tp
Interesting thanks for the info. I thought about the screw trick but I didn’t see any threads in the tube. I will look again. Where did you get your parts?
That ain’t no gloss black
Jaaa. Not sure why I said that. It must have said that on the can but could be wrong I don’t remember.
@@SanDiego_VDubLife Yea you know what I have had nothing but bad experiences with VHT. It ends up chipping within a short period of time, despite prep work. I remember one time in particular I bought high temperature red and it turned out to be orange.
@@Noneyabusinesscoolstorybro Yes, the paint hasn't lasted at all. But I think my prep was wrong because I used a rust converter paint first then I went over it with the high temp paint, so that probably caused it to fail. Not sure.
Wrong carb
What is the correct carb? This is not a stock engine. It was a single port. I put dual port cb 044 heads and a quiet pack empi exhaust. It also has a 009 distributor. 88 cylinders as well
All that fancy stuff and no research.
@@kenburkham5483 My point is that the stock carb is not correct because the engine is no longer stock. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I believe a stock carb for a single point 1500cc engine probably would have been a 32pict. Since I wasn't running a stock engine I was trying to increase the volume and air flow, thus I went with a larger carb, I think its a 34 pict in the video. I don't remember I think it was prob about 10 years ago.
@SanDiego_VDubLife so you went backwards in technology
@@kenburkham5483okay so I finally went back and watched the video and I must have chosen this carb because this is what I had available to me at the time. If I had a 34pict carb I would have used it but buying the jets was cheaper than buying a whole new carb. I ended up buying dual carbs later but this was to get me by in the mean time.
Wats it called
I don’t remember the name of the app. I deleted it off my phone. But just go to the App Store if you have iPhone and search level tool or degree finder
Hey, I know it’s been a long time but I just got my led lights and I noticed your vanity not working. In my case the drivers vanity lught is broken because the cable that goes from the visor to the light is broken, it dried out apparently. So yours might be the same. Good luck!
No worries thanks for the reply. My driver still not working so I will check. How do I access it? Do I remove the visor or somewhere else? 🙏🏾
This video was helpful for me. I'm getting ready to reinstall the alternator stand and wasn't sure if I needed to place a paper gaskets below & above the metal oil deflector. I haven't seen to many other videos explaining /showing it in detail. I'm a rookie at this stuff. I appreciate your help /video. Thx 👍🏼
Awesome dude. Yes. Paper on top and bottom. Most people don’t do that and even I missed it in the past.😄
I thought I was going crazy trying to bleed the brakes too. I bought a pressure bleeder and that was 100% key. I did it in a couple minutes after I used it.
Nice. Yeah they work good and makes it a one person job 😁
Thank you! Just what I needed 😊
Awesome. Mine works great.
@@SanDiego_VDubLife I literally just bought it today and couldn't be happier. I immediately thought about some cabinet jacks I was thinking on buying but they were plastic. This is metal. It says to not load it with anything, but have a feeling they can do probably better than those plastic cabinet jacks. Thanks again! Support from NC
@@le0nida525 yeah. It’s pretty sturdy. I’m sure it would work fine with your cabinet situation.
