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

Putting on the long tube after I grub on some fish n chips.

 

Thank you for this. Where did you get the vsv at? Local autoparts store?

 

Thanks I'll probably have to wait til I get to my computer to look at it.

 

I used the part number on the original 90910-11264, to cross reference to a Dorman part number 911-601.

So far I've logged 2700 miles with no CEL.

 

Is it just the solenoid plug itself?

 

Yup, just unplug the connector, then the two vacuum lines that are attached. The solenoid is held in place with one small screw. It was pretty simple.

I dropped the spare tire and unplugged the larger vacuum line to make it easier to get at.

 

2 monster sized turbos from caterpillar lol wonder if I could put one in my truck lmao

 

Nice! I had no idea this thing was located back there. I thought it was in the engine bay for some reason. Just ordered it from oreilys and I should have it in by end of day Friday so we'll see if that fixes the issue. Thanks for your help man!

 

i have brakes again! I kinda missed driving my truck, the last things i drove were a rental chevy spark and my girlfriends (surprisingly fun) 5 speed toyota yaris.

 

4 cylinders are the same. There's one little one tucked in under the intake plenum. The other is right on the inside of the driver's fender

 

It's rattle can spray. I did a ton of prep and really took my time. It's been on over a year and a half and no issues of peeling (except in the bed where it's been abused). Easy to clean but stickers won't stick. I painted a section and used the decal as a mask and then resprayed the bed liner. Probably not optimal but I bought about 8 extra cans expecting touch ups along the way and it's held up great through ice, snow, mud and normal road grime.

It's the rustoleum spray on bed liner. But again, like anything its ALL in the prep.... my $0.02

 

I've wondered the same thing..... but my 2.7 is blessed with 4.56's stock. I can still run 80 with my 33's.... but who doesn't want more power!

 

Ones that have "Tread Lightly" in raised letters

Nice music selection too... lulzy.

 

After a failed attempt to fit these lights behind my satoshi I fashioned a license mount bar.

 

Okay cool. I did my rear bumper but I probably didn't prep it too good because it flakes off. How many coats would you say?

Need to wash the rest of the mud off my truck

 

I did three light and a final wet coat. All within 1 hour of each other and it was about 65/70 degrees out too

 

So the code could potentially be any one of these 3 vsv's? Or potentially something else?
