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

My 3.4 won't do it either, so you aren't missing out too badly. haha

 

I will get on the people that did my front alignment asses today or tomorrow. Thanks.

 

It only took them 20 mins to do. Either they do it right or they give me my money back. Had it alignmened by C&H tire.

 

You could do it on the way down from Payson on the 87 for sure

 

For a clumsy old truck, she is surprisingly stable at 102mph

 

Did they mention anything about frozen ecentrics? Sounds like a toe-and-go, but could be frozen cams.

 

Nope said nothing about frozen ecentrics. I saw the guy that did my alignment take my truck for a test drive.

 

I'll re-measure when I get home from work. What psi am I measuring at and on or off the truck? Should mention that I've already put some wear on the tires so they'll be less than they were brand new.

And yes, I was quick to react, don't want any misinformation out there and figured you may not have the tire so might be guessing based on other tires. I think someone said they are 32.5"? They were 33 the day I put them on

 

so I got the front done for my OME kit and had my brother take it to the shop for alignment. says there is still a vibration but tracks right. also said the CVs are "clicking" a bit. stock CVs with 138k and never any hard wheeling. thoughts?

I'll be getting the rear done Friday hopefully, will the change in angle from the rear affect anything?

 

Guess I check the brake fuild resi and see if I've lost any. Not sure how long it's been leaking though.

 

Hey now hey now, it was auto corrects fault!

Usually measured at whatever air pressure you run them at, I run mine at 34 psi.

Correct I don't have the tire but when I was deciding between coopers and dynapro all the info I found on people who were running them said they were less then what the specs say, which is typical. I said 32.5 but might be wrong, been awhile. Mine are 3.6 according to the specs but measure exactly 33 on the truck.

Weird yours measure larger then what the specs say.

Check the bleeder valve also, doesn't take much to cover the back of the wheel with fluid. Worth a shot, a lot easier to fix that.

 

Hauled 1.25 tons of rock.

The Dakar leafs are unreal with weight on them.

 

I'm looking in to getting a new cat for my 2000 2.7 and I'm seeing front and rear units for sale. What's up with that? Which one, if not both, would be the most likely candidate for throwing a P0420 code?

 

Get a laser temp reader and check both inlet and outlet on both cats. The temp should be hotter at the outlet.

 

Well this was about a week ago but I'm liking where she sits now. I put fabtech coilovers on my taco . I wanted the "nose high" look btw. I did it all at school with the help of a friend and supervision of my auto teacher. I forgot to measure from the center of the hub to the top of the inner fender before I removed my stock struts and coils so I am not sure how much of a lift they added. I'll post a picture of it off the lift when I remember to take one lol.

 

I've done it going down hill. It's possible. But the governor will kick in too. Then again I'm the guy without a motor right now.

 

Supercharge it I can get to max easy. Its like 4000 rpms in 5th gear. My old tacoma 5spd would scream at 3000 in 5th going 70 must have been geared different or something.

 

@TXSmiley thought that was you, I was like wait you have a jeep...

 

Check if you have driver side lean. I have it and I'm paying someone I know to do it, after last week I'm done with my suspension for now.

 

Done this today. Very easy but very time consuming. I will do the gray wire mod sometime this week.
