they don't like the way that the Tacoma drains now and that's not a good thing
you know Toyota's had a lot of problems with frame issues frame rust issues so
we're gonna go ahead and put the clamp over the end of the tube here you know
if you follow Toyota at all then you know they've had massive problems lots
of recalls and spent lots of money replacing frames on their trucks morning
everybody and welcome back to the channel hey today I'm gonna do a simple
little Tacoma mod they couldn't hit up saving you a big hassle in the long run
what I'm doing is a little drain line a little air conditioning drain line mod
because I don't like the way that the Tacoma drains now let me take you under
here and show you oops hit my back on the lift ah you guys
can see hopefully let me figure out where I'm at all right here right there
that is the drain line for the air conditioning you know the condensation
and the water drips right here on top of the frame on this side and then down
through here where the little panel is inside the fender and that's not a good
thing you know Toyota's had a lot of problems with frame issues frame rust
issues so why they allow this to happen I really have no idea so what I'm gonna
do will back out of here what I'm gonna do is in essence extend that line I have
some tubing here and this is just let's see three-quarter inch OD by 5/8 inch ID
and it fits perfectly over that little nozzle that I showed you under there and
then a little clamp and this I believe is a 7/16 to one and a quarter believe
let's see here it is in 11 - 25 doesn't say much else on it anyway this is going
to be used this clamp to clamp down the end of this tubing on that little piece
of tube that comes out of the air conditioning unit up there and again the
whole point of this is is to get water away from the frame now I do have one
little selfish reason for doing this and that's because it actually is in such a
position that it drips on the edge of my lift and goes down on the inside of
these trays here and actually drips on the roof of my Jeep out there when it's
underneath the lift
so that will alleviate that too so I'm gonna go ahead set you guys up I'll show
you a little bit of that now it's tight quarters under there so I'm not sure how
much you'll be able to see but we're going to tie it up and then show you
what the finished product looks like okay hopefully you guys can see up there
okay I've got the tubing run down and I'll show you where I ran that down here
in just a minute but you can see the edge or the the tubing rather right here
I believe yeah right there my camera actually turned yeah sorry we're not in
the middle of the frame but that's about the best I can do so we're going to go
ahead and put the clamp over the end of the tube here and I might actually
tighten that down a little bit just to get it ready yeah I think that's a
pretty good shot so I'm going to go ahead and tighten the clamp down just a
little because it's tight quarters up there of course just so that I will have
an easier time of it I guess once I have it on up there
take that down just a little more okay see there just kind of slip it up on
there and I'm gonna slip it up pretty far like so so now all I have to do is
tighten this screw down here and I should be able to reach through actually
right where the camera is so I'm gonna go ahead and tighten that screw down and
and we should be good and then we'll tie up the tubing itself here so that it's
not flopping around and I'll show you where I ran it through down here below
as soon as I get this tightened up up there okay we've got it done
tight spaces to work but actually it's not too bad
underneath here and fortunately I have a lift so it's even easier for me I know
let me show you what I've done here you guys can see the hose right here hanging
out of the bottom and it goes up there once again it is held on with a clamp
right up there and then I zip tied it and I'm all about overkill right here so
I did put three zip ties on it obviously you probably don't need that many but
hey they come in a great big bag like that so why not ah ran it down here
again trying to stay away from the exhaust obviously up here because I
don't want my hose to melt so we have good clearance there trying to stay away
from everything down here that could get hot of course and then a wiring over
here and I did zip tie it I don't know this is necessary but I did zip tie it
kind of around this frame piece here I don't know how long the zip tie will
even last with weather it probably will break anyway but by then this tubing
will be formed enough you know it kind of has memory so that it'll stay in
place anyway and this is never going to pop up out of here anyhow
so this is my solution this will get the water off of the frame up there run it
down through the tubing and it'll drip down here below it will also fall into
my pan that will be right down here so that it doesn't drip on top of my Jeep
and it's up high enough pretty much even with the skid plate that it shouldn't
catch on anything and nor do I think it would I mean this will move if it had to
so it's it's not gonna catch on anything or you know anything crazy like that
so pretty awesome mod I think just something again pretty simple to kind of
alleviate or stop the water from dripping all over your frame you know if
you follow Toyota at all then you know they've had massive problems lots of
recalls and spent lots of money replacing frames on their trucks both
the tundra and the Tacoma because of rust issues so I really don't understand
why they continue to leave this thing drip all over the frame it just seems to
me like a simple fix just running a piece of tube down there like I've done
over here and then you don't have that issue anymore so anyway just kind of
want to get on here to show you guys something pretty simple to maybe prevent
something as far as rust or Toyota frame rust specifically Tacoma frame rust in
the future leave a comment down below let me know what you think I had posted
a video about this before let me know if you done it the last time anyway
