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

It's just a dodge

 

^^^^ That frame looks beefy. The Tank Taco.

 

Yeah ok.

 

It is.

 

If it's just a dodge then WHY ARE YOU POSTING IN HERE?







Haha I'm playin

 

I put a cummins diesel in a dodge truck back in the early eighties, it was a piece of work. Took months. Worked ok in the end but for the effort it prolly wasn't the best idea. I'm glad someone else is doing this one.

 

Why'd ya powder coat the sliders and skids? They'll get beat to shit the most and it'll be harder to touch them up

 

How much horseypower & torque is that cummings making?

 

got a good deal on it so I went with it. might just leave the scars alone. match tell rest of the truck

 

Gotcha, well it looks nice haha

 

You good. Mine is long gone.

 

Same here, that piece of low hanging garbage was really keeping the front from behaving well. Now it droops and compresses really nicely.

 

at least you picked the best diesel cant tell from the dark pic, 12 or 24v?

 

I love how you were getting all kind of shit when you first brought up this idea and now only a couple days later you already have the taco body on the dodge frame and it all seems to fit ok. excellent work so far man.

 

Right now it makes a little more than 225hp and 450ft-lb torque. Once I do the cheap fueling mods it will be at 300hp and 600ft-lbs.

12v p pump. The separate valve covers makes it stand out. I didn't want the electronic bs with the 24v.

Funny how that works. Everyone likes to think they know more than the next guy. You don't know anything until you try it.

 

Paint your truck pink and call it the pink taco...now there's a Cummings under the hood, you just cummed in your taco....lol.

 

It's a Cummins everyone. No g.

 

ill take them if youll ship them to me

 

that...is a tight fit on that cummins taco. wow. Bitch to work on maybe? or just remove the d-house and cab?

 

Better not be one onebadchad on Instagram. To where someone had set his truck on fire (he did it) just to claim even more money from the insurance to put in his pocket. Matter as fact look at his picture and tell me how the whole truck didn't explode from the gas/diesel in the fuel tank, loved how the wheels and suspension parts weren't that damaged at all.
