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

Well I bought the truck and put the topper on it because I wanted a truck to go fishing/camping in. I have to say I was not disappointed. It held all of my camping equipment (I like to be comfortable in camp) for the trip and kept it secure in hotel parking lots. We also used it to keep our camp "bear clean" by putting all attractants in the camper at night. Then once on the river we didn't have to break down our 9' rods, just put them through the sliding windows. Also nice to have a tailgate to put on our waders and to sit and have a beer on at days end. One nice touch was I used my old Toyota carpeted floor mats (thank you WeatherTech's) to keep dirt off our wader feet!

Love your state. I'll be back and I'll give you a shout before hand! Thanks!

 

Had Line-X installed today. Looks great!

 

How did you know where the road was with all that snow on the ground? From the top picture it does not look like it could have been very visible. It seems like you followed it pretty much dead on though.

 

Very nice.

I'm adopted by the state...From SC.

 

Sometimes you could easily see it, most of the time it was very faint, other times we had to guess.

I ran the trail in June that year so that helped.

 

done nothin...completly stock...& luvin it

 

good to know.... I'll be swapping my km2's for MT/RK's

 

had a 33" placed on to find justify needing spacers. DB messed up my painted rims.

 

cleaned her up.

 

Word.

Very odd about the mountain roads, but to keep the gas mileage nice on the highway, you can't let the RPMs get too high. I averaged 21 mpg on my way home from Moab at about 65 mph the whole way. If you wanted good gas milage all around, you probably should've gone with 4.88s.... That would've brought closer to a stock ratio. And that is a bit strange, because I noticed tremendous power increase around town and off-road. Highway is the only sucky one since you gotta keep it slow...

I have a solution for you though. 37s!!!!!! lol or just SAS that sucker sooner than later.

 

He'll just SAS next Hahahahah

I'm thinkin 4.56s with 35s and a crawl box

 

I installed an Airaid intake tube. Made a world of difference in the sound department. Not sure on mpgs yet.

 

I want one of those..gonna wait till I SC tho

 

EEEhhhhhhh...... I wouldn't......... Tha'd be nice on the highway, but pretty sucky for low end torque and power..... 4.56s might be ok for a Taco with a Manual transmission and a V6. But Any other combo would require at 4.88s to get back to the stock ratio....

 

I would definitely recommend it. I got it for $80 and free shipping from Advance Auto with the promo code "VISA". most places sell it for around $110. great deal advance auto is doing right now

 

got my truck back today. i got a wrap around welded onto my rear bumper, the bumper is from Beefed Taco. and my guy also put a winch on my prerunner bumper.









and i had him weld the support beam to the bumper instead of the frame so i can still take the bumper off.

 

o and this is the mounting frame for the winch.

 

Ya well I think it would be similar to my 33s and 4.10s. Plus I do have a manual and v6 and I plan on SC it.

Wow that's a good deal

 

Yeah, it was fantastic. The only problem was that they took a little over a month to get it in stock so I could buy it. Well worth the wait though.

 

Thanks man! I think that's what I'm gonna do for a cleaner look
