Has anybody done any cool mods to their 96 tacoma

im trying to up grade my tacoma without breaking the bank. please share any pics or tips of what you have done. my truck is an ext cab and its brown. thanks

 

ive got a 04' but its about the same body style
ive done the deck plate mod and some other stuff. there are pic's on my profile

 

so what does that do?? does it give me more HP?

 

it helps a little bit 3-5HP, it gave me a little better throttle response. and it only costed me right under $15

 

nice so do i have to cut a hole in my airbox for that??

 

yes, use the search function and you'll find lots of info.

 

yeah either a 3", 4", or a 5" but i think the recommended size for the 4-cylinder is a 4"

 

ok, thanks. im gonna try and get a pic of my truck up soon. cause i love my tacoma, but it really needs some help. its as low as a car. and i went from an f350 to that. so a lift is in the works really soon

 

is it 4x4?
does it have the TRD package??

 

no its a 2wd and its not trd or sr5. my parents bought it at an auction and i have to drive it to college when i graduate. so i gotta get on the ball. i thought about building it up as a desert prerunner. with the wide fenders and the long travel suspension. but thats kinda expensive

 

yeah if you go down that road it would set you back a little bit

 

but im thinkin a 3 or 4 in lift. 33s and repainting it and knocking the dents out. and blackin out the head and tail lights. the only bad thing is it has 279,000 miles on it

 

Do it like me!

 

For the 2.4 IMO just do the elbow mod its the free version of the deckplate mod and has the same results.

 

ok heres a pic of my truck

 

Oh a truck is suppose to be faster than car? LOL

 

well thats a pic of it when is was dirty. but i have washed and painted the wheels gloss black. but with all the georgia red clay. when i go dirt roading, after i clean them. the mud and dirt tends to find a permeant home near the lugs. i can get a paint job and the dents fixed for 100 bucks(me and dad know the body guy) and the engine tune is probably gonna cost the most. but if i do that im gonna do a transmission rebuild too

 

heres my friends 96 tacoma like a prerunner like you were talking about

 

thats pretty nice. he has the whole front clip. how much did that run him??

 

probably as much if not more than you paid for your truck dude. lol
