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

Yes, truck came with a cheapo CAI from the PO, got an airbox and piping from a member here (for free!!) Installed it and then cut a deck plate about 3 weeks after since i had to wait for the plate from eBay.
Suggesting a $300 CAI over a $6 deck plate is bad advice. Neither really does a lot except make more noise. The "butt dyno" would have to be really sensitive to notice a difference between the two, but I promise the $294 is really noticeable in the "wallet dyno"

 

What did you do?

Just spray it down? Or did you simple green (or something similar) everything then spray it down?

 

i know hahaha

im sure you could make a hoop that did the same tho. If it followed the line of the grill it woud be so sick IMO.

but im also anti stinger on tacos kinda..

DO IT! i bet that would be super sick!

 

I used simple green on my old prelude and it worked awesome. Sprayed it on the engine, underside of the hood, everywhere else except where the bottle says not to, let it sit then hosed it off. Cleaned 10 years of grime without even breaking a sweat.

 

Let us know how that Raptor liner turns out. Really thinking about doing it this summer to my truck.

 

It's about time lol

That would probably look pretty good!

I don't really like stingers on tacomas either but I think the 4xinnovations stinger is one of the best looking bumpers with a stinger for first gens. The stinger isn't way over the top like some of the other ones I've seen

 

Looks like we will have to agree to disagree

 

Got lights mounted finally. I dont have a cordless drill so I have to go to my dads house and try to get them wired up. I had to take the whole bumper off because I snapped 3 valance screws clean off. Damn surprises from northern trucks. It was all good though because someone bumped into me in my work parking lot and threw my bumper off a bit. Obviously that was fixed too.

 

Put new Bando belts on her. I think they were original belts at 160,000 mi!
