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

correct... HOWEVER... my stock gearing was 3.92 my current gearing is 4.30. I may be wrong and it may be slightly pessimistic (ie reading slower than I'm really going) but I know it's only like 2mph off at 65

 

3.58s don't help either

 

I'm in Florida boys, it's flat. Very flat.

 

My condolences.

 

95 degree day today . Thanks

 

Looking at the rear proportioning valve install today. Not gonna happen today, maybe tomorrow. I'll do a full write up during the install.
First hurdle, clearing the evap crap.

This is where I'd like it to sit.

So I gave it a gentle 45° bend. There was barely enough tube to work with.
Yes I have a brake tubing bender.

Now I gotta get a bit more creative.

I'm thinking bend that end down to 45°, maybe a bit more if it will allow. With a bit of swearing, and careful bending of the existing line, I think I can get the main hard line to connect with it behind the booster.
Thoughts?
I don't want it in the rear hanging off the frame rail. I want to keep it clean, and have it accessible.

 

So are you gonna plumb the rear to be returnless

 

The lines swivel before tightening of course, so I can aim it at any angle.

 

Yes. There are instructions that come with the kit that tell what lines to disconnect and reconnect to bypass the bypass. My LSVP is frozen, and I want that real estate on the frame for something else.

 

I think there is just enough room. I have about 2-3" from the fitting to the firewall, more if I aim it down some.

 

I'd still rather have Colorado's mountains... over ANYTHING Florida offers... $.02

 

Gonna be 103 here on wednesday I'm hoping the weather report is completely wrong lol

 

dang

yeah i wish i had dry heat, if you've ever felt humid heat you'll know what i mean...

 

Ball soup and swamp ass, too many of my relatives live in Florida.

 

Just spent the last 5 months working in FL. So happy to be back home in New England. For all the great things Florida has to offer, there are equally terrifying and awful things to balance it out. Probably will go back again this fall for another 5-6 months, but hoping to never do it again after that.

 

Oh come on, you didn't stay for the hot months. May-september is the bad stuff

 

Yep I have, I don't like either of them!

Humid heat is definately worse of the temps are close but the worst thing out here is when you're outside and the breeze is so hot it just makes it worse

 

I was stationed in Mississippi for 4 years... spent a LOT of time in FL and GA, since Mississippi and Alabama suck... FL is alright, but I'm just not a beach type person. I liked GA but I can get everything I enjoyed about GA from Colorado or other western states, without the humidity and with the ability to get days away from the nearest person.

 

where at in florida? any place north of west palm beach isn't really florida LOL

 

Anywhere south of Orlando is Cuba
