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

Changed my fuel filter today! Couple great write ups on here. Will be changing the differential oil this weekend.

Really loving the information and tutorials on TW, saving my $'s and my truck i.e. can't afford to pay mechanics for preventative maintenance!

 

Total Chaos UCAs and ADS coilovers on the way

 

Hmm I might take you up on that, thanks bro!!

Part of it is my parents said they would throw down 5k if I didn't get another Tacoma hahah.. That's why I'm kind of torn between the two, get a Tacoma with a 10-14k loan or get an FR-S with 5k down and a 15k loan.

 

It's a risk management. The newer vehicle is much more likely to be around for the life of the loan. If a vehicle dies its borrower is unlikely to continue to make payments. On top of that, as Presto said, he doesn't have a credit history. So from the banks vantage point he is an unknown variable. At least that's what I think. Either way it's pretty lame.

 

When my wife tells me I should put a snorkel on my truck, I put a snorkel on my truck!

 

I have never even really thought about a snorkel... So in theory how deep can you go?

 

Not so much about going deeper as having a little extra insurance on normal crossings. Also pulls clean cool air on dusty mountain roads.

 

Added phone mount and unblacked the Toyota logo after Plasti-dipping. Painted it white with touch up paint.

 

I installed a new 2 core radiator today. Also added some redline water wetter to the mix. Not sure if it actually works but my temps are hovering around 190*.

 

How did the driver breathe

 

If he used on board air, did his Expo Rep go beyond khakis?

 

shoot me a pm if you want

 

Different from the OEM radiator? My understanding is that 86-88C (190F) is average for most cars.

 

I got a clock! Note that even if your truck didnt come with one, the wiring is already in place.

 

You have a clock on your head unit. Why would you want the stock one that you can barely see?

 

I wonder if mine has that wiring, my head unit has no clock.

 

Yeeea boyee

 

Let me know if you like I have a clock laying around in a box......I removed to install my 12volt guy in cab winch controls

 

The chassis harness for these trucks are all the same. I even found plugs for 4wd equipment when mine is a Prerunner.

The second pic is my dash panel without the clock insert, there is just a holder for the wire.
