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

Those are all off road parks correct? Not like legal places to explore unregulated or state parks like out west?

Trust me we can wheel up here in the North East but the legal stuff is mostly at Rausch Creek.

 

yeah i thought you were just meaning places to wheel. I agree there should be more unregulated places to explore. seems that most drunk jeep idiots ruin that for everyone around my area.

 

X2 on that Kevin haha, bunch of heeps...

I prefer trails/exploring over Off-road parks.

In other news my bumper shipped today!

 

Yup same here. Even the pine barrens are getting heavier regulated due to the dumping issues. A bunch of tacomaworld guys and I attended a clean up last year with a couple other local 4x4 groups to help get rid of it. Everything from busted tv's, shingles, contractor scraps, concrete, glass, and boats were out there. A damn shame really.

 

Aem website. I'm sure there is a whole forum. You probably saw on custom tacos all the base map setup. Youtube. Google, since it is a universal device. That will get you going for a good base map. You can finish with a dyno tune for the last dialing stuff in. Piggyback pretty much all tune the same with little difference between each. Lots of datalogs is your friend. Never tuned an aem though.

 

Thanks man.....I have it at the dyno/tune shop now. Trying to find anything that will help them out.

 

One of my rear drums is squealing, when I'm braking and on and off when I'm moving over 30mph. How critical is this to get checked out?

Shoes were new installed about 2 months ago along with a rebuild kit. Still have plenty of braking power

 

It's could have an issue making it eat the drum and potentially cost you a new drum. You may already need one anyway. Should
Be inspected quickly to save money. That being said rear brakes don't do much of the work and half the people on the forum who wheel in mud don't have working rear brakes and probably don't even know it. Mine don't work for longer than a month or two after I fix them.

 

I bought that hitch off a TW member and installed it 15 years after I bought my truck.

 

I feel a huge difference ever since I rebuilt mine. I do need to adjust my e brake though.

 

Back up and pull the E brake a couple times, once a week to keep them adjusted. Just pulling the E brake usually won't adjust them.

 

I measured mine when new, what world do the rest of you live in?

 

I have some oil that is setting on the inside of my rear wheel and down the tire. Could it be the axle seal? Haven't checked the diff oil yet

 

Guess i hit a nerve.

The world of the internet. And the one where tire specs tend to be on the large side of reality. Mine apparently are 33.4 but measures 33 in real life, go figure. What do yours measure on your truck?

 

yep. Axle seal.

 

I drove back from Phoenix yesterday on the I-10. I learned that no matter how long you floor the gas pedal on a 2.7 Prerunner, it will never reach the 110mph that the speedometer maxes out at.

Im somewhat disappointed.

 

Dang it

 

Could also be break fluid, had a buddie with what initially looked like a seal but turned out to just be a loose bleeder. Hopefully that's all it is...

 

turbo time? hahaha
