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

Some more pics of my A/T flush. I wanted to shut off the engine (as it was pumping the a/t fluid) as soon as I saw the flow stop for the output line. So jump the two small pins on the EFI relay, and use two long leads on the large pins that i can pull apart easily. This will cut the EFI relay and kill the fuel pump. You may blow the ignition fuse when doing this BTW.



Clean in, dirty out.

 

Makes sense! I bought the 5-20 psi! Thanks for the clarity man! I'll probably set them between 12 and 15

 

Also did the 'always on' power outlet mod.

 

Does that circuit supply anything other than the lighter outlets?

 

Nope, oddly enough just the two lower outlets. Its like they wanted to make this easy to mod.

 

You mean setting the tacoma body on a ram is the best mod you ever done....

 

Where do you get a new led driver for the halos TRS sells?

 

Ya know, Cummins are some of the few modern diesels you can run B100 biofuel on. Thats the main reason i would do the swap. All that free fuel out there for the taking.

I just saw the old Huell Howser episode where he visited a guy in Ojai, CA that converted his home and shop furnace, his work trucks, and his wifes 86 Mercedes to running off waste oil he got from a Japanese restaurant. Fucking awesome.

 

Got my white strobes in the mail today, so while I was waiting for a family member to bring by their vehicle for a brake job I installed the strobes.
Really happy with how they turned out, super bright.

What did I just watch? Are you trying to be a cop or what??

 

We have to close roads fairly often to load/unload equipment, having the lights makes it more visible which makes it safer.

 

Oh that makes sense

 

I would Never attempt to impersonate a cop, some of my closest family is LE.

 

Are you talking about the one that is a switchback driver?

So lets talk rear shocks for a moment, the ones I have suck (no clue what they are just that they're white). I'm looking to get bigger shocks down the road when I can keep them under the bed. So I'll have to mount my spare on a future swingout bumper but that's not for a long time. So what would be the best bang for your buck rear shocks? I'd rather stay away from Bilsteins

 

Anybody have a way to mount a radar detector to the rear view mirror? I've found solutions for 2nd gens, but out mirror stems are significantly smaller.

 

Best bang for the buck besides Bilstein is probably going to be OME, I'm running dakars and OME shocks in the back and i love it

 

Me too nitrocharger sports! Thinking to relocate them too!

 

That's probably what I'll go with then, semi-cheap but good quality. I was also looking at the Icons without RR but that's another $100

 

OME is around 240 and there are some Fox non resi for like 280 I think! Look on wheelers!
