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

Hmm. I guess I'll play with it and see how the truck handles the 33s first and then go from there.

 

I wouldn't think much water would get under the hood where the elbow is, unless you crossing deep water, which in that case you should be running a snorkel or something. My truck usual never sees any water anyways besides rain. I think sucking in warmer from the engine bay air is more of a concern when removing the elbow since its no longer connected to the inner fender well. But this can be avoided by cutting of the elbow and leaving the lip that connects it to the inner fender. And with the deck plate you suck in the warmer air anyways. I doubt it even really is that much warmer to make a difference though.

I still have 4.10s with my 33's. With my SC I think its fine. But I am also MT. I'm sure it would pull stronger and be a bit more fun with 4.56's...

 

Actually the 01-04 first gens came in 2 different reds. Rad red and impulse red.

 

Guess I found the color code too heh.

 

I may add an elbow to my next Camelback order and play around with this idea.

 

4:56 seems to do well for a manual trans and 33's from what I hear.

I'm auto and want to jump to 35's when I get new tires so 4:88's are definitely for me. 5:29's is too much for something that's going to see more highway than off road imo

My first one and I love it.

Love MTB's as well, you're making me miss NM...

I don't mind sweating, I can drink water. I hate the cold though.

If you're keeping with 33's then 4:56 would do you good I think.

Yeah, I think the deck plate mod and elbow removal just allows more air in, not necessarily cooler air. I've just been told that the deck plate has minor gains in mpg.

 

I'm auto too obviously, but don't plan on 35s. I don't wheel enough for them. They look badass though lol.

 

I don't wheel enough for anything other than a stock truck right now...

But some day I will get out of this terrible state and wheel much more. Only a matter of time....

 

Get 4.88s. I have driven an auto with 4.88s and 33s. Damn near stock feeling drivin it.

 

Yes I know, like I said it's not radiant red

 

Very good to know, thanks Monte.

 

For you 95-97 guys. Some expensive but VERY nice headlights....

Soooooooo not worth it

 

x 1046.52

That is ridiculously expensive!

 

Found them somewhere else for $800. Not as bad considering what many custom LED projectors would cost.

 

Cool, yet still not worth it.

 

I'd rather go with the truck light led ones. And even then. They are 400

 

I'll stick with TRS projectors

 

$1000 for a pair of headlights? Wow.

 

My dad put $800 LED headlights on his harley and it was easily the best upgrade he's done yet. They are brighter than my HIDs and light up the ditches better. It was worth it for a motorcycle.
