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

FU west coast guys. We get raped shipping armor out here. Nor can we buy any already setup LT builds. I wanna mob the NJ pinebarrens.

 

I see. I like the sog treein one

 

Well I got tired of not having any space in the back so project stealth sub box is underway! Hoping I can fit my 10" cvr's (huge magnet) in there but if not I'm just going to pick up some 8's for some clean ass bass Hoping to get 4 sides and the fiberglass bottom done this weekend.

 

Haha sorry! We also don't have hurricanes, oh wait that probably didn't help.

 

First gen legs are around 7" but remember to take out the thickness of your frame plate.. I cut mine at 7" when i make them, 2nd gens are around 8"

 

CVRs aren't that big are they? Maybe im thinkin Compcvts..

If you REALLY wanted to get sneaky, you could take out the metal back seat strucure. Like pull the carpet back and pull out that area then build a box that is damn near exatly like that. Make a small "lid"/cover that sits about 1.5'' or 2''(not sure what your subs Xmax is is..) above the subs so you can set stuff back their still.

 

Yeah that one is sweet too, I don't think he had that around when I bought mine... plus I don't turkey hunt so I figured mine suited me well

Looks like a PITA getting all those panel pieces out...

 

Hey Mark are you entering the gallons for the UG? Im confused as to which number I should use. I was about to put 18gl but then I read a thread that said to put the average amount at every fill up in order to get the exact average miles per gallon through the UG. Ive also read other who put the actual size of the tank. I went ahead and put 15.37gallons because that is the average fill up for me. Im still confused though, so if you know the correct number let me know

 

his look a bit nicer to take out then mine..my rear side ones where a PITA!!! holy shit..had to undo the seat belt bolts while the damn this is there so you trying to wrench behind them..stupid.

rears are pretty easy though.

 

its 18.5. When you needle hits E you have a 3 gal "reserve" i put in 17.6 or so gal before.

5 luggers are 15

 

With an empty cab its easy, try putting it all back in with this in the way

 

Hmm, shows 18 for 98-99's and 18.5 for 01-04's?

 

hahahaha yea THAT would SUUUCCKKKK

 

oooo interesting..

 

So is the average fill up the correct number to use? for me its always roughly 15-16 gal. Ive kept track on my own for the last couple fill ups. Or should I use the 18.5 gal?

 

Haha that's actually the exact plan, even the "lid". Only reason I stopped is because I packed everything back in since I'm doing the work at my parents' house. And I guess the magnet isn't that big, the sub is pretty deep for the space I want to put it in though.

Wasn't too bad actually, not like I thought it would be. Only took about 45 min and I've never done it before

 

Yeah I'm putting the gallons in for the UltraGauge. I need to read through the entire manual before I can figure this thing out. My speed still says what the speedometer says, not how I'm actually going 5mph faster. Maybe I need to set an exact distance and drive that for the UG to know my speed from there on out...

Sooo if I have 18.5 gallon tank, shouldn't I put 15.5? Or stick with 18.0/18.5?
I have to sit down and figure this thing out. Oh and is that my solution to the speedometer problem above?

 

Makes more sense according to your link some posts back

 

ive been using 18.5 for my 03 and when i do just the math too it checks out

Nice

i want to do that to my rear too. or something. have an idea for a sub box/speaker box for the 6x9s and then kind of a compartment system for camera gear and other stuff


and shiiittt.. 6''? haha luck dog..mine are like 8.25''

like i said above i have been using 18.5..

 

tell me about it! shipping on my sliders was a third of the total cost!!

yea yea, we'l get the last laugh when your entire state falls into the ocean
