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

Oh Dereck good to hear from you again you son of a bitch . Thanks for the info , you rock . Dealer said to me not to run more the 87 so I wanted to hear what you guys are running . And I plan to install the SC in the morning . NOT . but i can dream big cant I .

 

Eh, I don't see anything over 87 being worth it. Unless you've go a S/C of course.

 

I run 87, and don't have to deal with any ethanol up in AK.

 

Running premium once in a while is supposedly good for your engine some engine builders have told me. Helps burn built up carbon deposits in the cylinders or something.

 

When I had my 02 Tundra with the same engine as my Taco but on my Tundra I was running K&N CAI with a flowmaster 40 and I did notice a small difference on increase of power when I ran 89 but dealer told me these v6 3400 are made to run on and designed for 87 . And thanks for your guys feedback

 

They are designed to run ethanol free 87. With ethanol isn't pure octane.

 

that didn't last long

I have a use for the third one now.

 

Got my 6" blitz pro lights (4 of them)
Now where to mount them? I need ideas...

Kinda want to use one or 2 of them as reverse lights so I can see better when reversing at night. The softopper hinders my sight so the extra light would help. Where to mount the other 2?

Also, any idea on where to mount the 2 I'm gonna use for reverse lights? Don't want to mount them under the stock bumper because they will be in danger of being ripped off. Having a softopper limits where I can mount them.

 

Are those the Blitzpros from that discount buy they had recently?

 

Yep. Hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else.
I noticed if i whack the hell out of it with the rubber covered handle on the screwdriver, they will glow dimly, maybe a loose connection inside.

Edit; they did work when I first hooked them up.

 

I saw where you mounted your 2 on the front bumper, Looks good.

Since My winch isn't installed, I think I'll mount one of them on my relentless bumper winch line slot. Wish I had a roof rack so I could mount two Blitzpros facing left of the driver side and one facing right of the passenger side. I need a little side light.

 

My '02 is a non-abs, cable on top

87

This VVV

 

Thanks!

Winch slot would fit about right, you really need two though to get any real light.
I like 'em so far, decent output for a utility style light. If I don't have further problems, and maybe able to fix this one, I might get a few more. I know a lot of guys here bought some so I'll wait and see.

 

Thanks man , I guess i should stop running the 102 octane and go back to 87 then . just kidding . Thanks for all your input guys , you have been awesome .

 

Installed a large Mob Mount today. These things are very nice. Picked it up in the recent GB.

 

looking good , fits like a glove

 

Went wheeling again today in Lucerne. Perfect conditions.

 

Now that is some hard core rock climbing .

 

That 1st pick I was stacking a few rocks to get over that section. .

 

For fuck's sake. I just unboxed my four.

No wonder these are $10 shipped.
