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

Built a Satoshi grill and plasti-dipped the chrome grille

 

I want this one or Bruteforce Hybrid but not sure if BF will fit my skid as well (I have to cut a lot of stuff off)

 

Replaced Bank1 Sensor2 02 and the P0420 engine code light came back on,bought an OBI code reader and monitored the voltage on the rear #2 sensor and it was bouncing all over the place which usually=get new cataylic converters but noooo>https://youtu.be/es9ItFprLZk watched this vid after becoming depressed looking at prices for new OEM cats. Watched the vid the 1st thing the portly Piasan said was clean the corrosion off the Neg. Batt. terminal,just so happened I had a start up problem due to a corroded batt. terminal 2 days before,cleaned off the corrosion on both terminals(a lot) and so far the volt reading to the #2 sensor at idle and fully heated up is .750-.800 volts steady and so far no more Engine code light. Could I be just lucky or the dirty terminals vid saved me about $2600 for new cats and exhaust?

 

shoulda made the "T" into an "!" YO!

 

stayed home sick from work but wasn't to sick to prepare for MOAB!

 

Wow

 

I did a little trimming. I'm going to add a 90 degree down turn on Sunday.

 

Installed the relentless fab bed bars and Yakima basket. Will hopefully get the full size spare, hi lift, and shovel mounted tomorrow, weather permitting. It's just a little basket but it suits my needs.

 

It's been a busy week for myself! First installed my Wheelers brake lines and Light racing UCAs




Then I installed a 3 degree shim which helped a lot! Truck drives so much smoother at all speeds


My coworker helping me build my sliders



And today got rid of the Toytec BPV bracket and installed the BAMF one

 

Nice. Did you flip your Dakar overloads upside down?

 

96 has a shorter leaf pack, different design on the overload. Mine looks the same way.

 

No?

 

Oh yeah shorter pack has a mean arc makes it a little harder to get in and out!

 

My backup camera kit came in a few days ago, so I began the install today. Tapped into the reverse light wire behind the driver side tail light and made a split connector (feed going off to camera, feed going off to monitor), neatly wrapped inside a 3/8" wire loom inside the tail light well. I decided to run a power wire from that to the monitor so the monitor comes on automatically without me fishing for the reverse wire inside the dash (could have tapped into the relay, but this worked). Ran the video feed wire and the power wire into the loom and popped it in nice and snug into the grommet running into the driver side utility box in the extended cab. I'll put some pics up tomorrow when I finalize the interior wiring.

 

i drove it to the grocery store....while admiring miss taco's beauty in the parking lot, i forgot the chicken i purchased and left it in the shopping cart. i need therapy.

edit - Should probably be posted in a thread named: "What has your 1st gen taco done to you today."

 

Got 4 new bfg A/T KO 2 tires. Finally getting some stuff done on my truck woot woot

 

It's addicting. I'm telling you

 

going by your sig with your truck that can light up a run-way lol

 

I'm about to place an order on Amazon and wanted to confirm something before I did.
I know it will take a long time to fill tires with a cksa12 but it's better than nothing..

It says it works with the ckma12 but will the ARB tire inflation kit also work with the cksa12?? Will I need additional fittings or something?

Edit: after reading through several reviews Ive determined I think it does work with it.
