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

Well that's taking matters into your own hands.

 

cleaned the garage floor/degreased the engine bay today.. Also stopped by the junkyard and found a 92 Camry I'll be going back to get the cams and crank out of to build up the trucks old engine.


it looks funny with these tiny ass tires. let me get the engine out with 2mm to spare though

 

Well after driving back from Eagle, it's idling fine now.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact I'm overdue to clean my intake and elevation. MAF, throttle body, etc. Also the IAC has never been cleaned.

Even though Eagle is only at 6600' I'm wondering if that would make the computer idle higher? Although theoretically wouldn't higher elevation = less oxygen = less fuel trim = less idle?

 

It's a pretty simple job, pull the ash tray, ash tray track, then pull the center dash plastic, cut and reinstall.

Edit
Mine is held in by friction but some use double sided tape or velcro

 

Check out @cynicalrider build...he went as far as melting the air duct behind it to get it completely flush. There's more than one way to mount it there. I had it there just by friction with a 90° elbow and thought it was in there good enough.

 

Hey man, I just installed the Pro 510 XL last week. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 510 and 520, but the install was super easy. I just took out the main dash cover and ash tray. There's kind of a plastic cage around where the ash tray mounts, so all you need to do is cut out the back of the cage to make room for the coax and power cables. As far as mounting the radio, I didn't need to use any hardware because it's a snug fit. This is how mine turned out, if you want a more flush fit, you can get an elbow adapter that will reduce the coax plug's space necessities.

 

well tomorrow morning my friend and I will be finally installing the tundra brake upgrade cant wait!! hope all goes well..

 

Cleaned puke off the passenger side

 

oh man that sucks sry to hear that, hope whoever is sick feels better soon..

 

Yeah its a goo friend of mines 21st, it was 1 hell of a power hour and now hes sleeping it off

I think its more funny than anything, he just drank too much too fast.

 

You'll be fine! I installed mine recently and it was super straightforward. Just be ready to cut/grind/bend the dust shields. I used three lug nuts to cinch down the rotor and then checked and rechecked for dust shield contact. I also did the 'bedding in' process for the new pads and rotors, which was interesting, but maybe not necessary. Anyway, take your time, good luck, and post up pics of the finished product!

 

Just dont say: "Hold my beer and watch this!"

 

Replaced these busted vent latches with the metal replacement ones from rock auto

 

What do you mean it rained??!?

 

Can't get stock lines off will they work with the new tundra stuff from Callahan on Amazon???

 

Why do you need to take the OE lines off? Yes, they work.

 

I got stainless ones didn't know that lol

 

Do you have the part # from Rock Auto for these?

 

Sure

 

This makes me wish I wasn't poor.... #goals
