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

i just welded a little light tab on my tube bumper, works great.

 

About 4-5 months worth of oil caught in the catch can. Intake is looking alot cleaner since so its doing its job.

 

Check my build, there should be a pic on the first page somewhere. It'll be perfect for what you want to do. Or just do it on your bumper

 

Where did you get that from or did you make it?

 

Hey Rob, what is the catch can for?

 

@bayareayota
Its main purpose is to act as a filter for the passenger valve cover breather. The stock hose connects these two fittings (see attached pic), puting air from the cover straight to the throttle body. I found that alot of oil was being circulated through there so the catch can removes alot of the oil from the air so it keeps the throttle body a bit cleaner. Mainly people with boost need these the most but its a nice cheap incentive for cleaner intake air.

 

BAMF, they're a vendor on here

 

Replaced original headlights on a 2000 (after 15+ years they pretty much had it) I refurbished them, but still.... Also painted the chrome around the grill to charcoal grey with a clear coat and painted the toyota emblem silver. It was a morning shot and a bit in the shadows...

whats in your window?

 

BAMF does have one, but I'd like to warn you. They powder coat them, which you must have a solid ground both at the frame and the underside where the coax touches the bracket. I took off the powder coating in those places and the mount is cheap steel, it's rusting to hell on my truck now. Spent $40 on a bracket and it's junk.

 

I wish I had bought the bracket to mount on my front fender tbh

 

A sun shade. It unfolds and opens up to keep the interior a few degrees cooler in hot weather.

 

Finally had to bite the bullet and ordered my tundra brake parts... the 35s ate away at what was left of the ebc pads so quick I couldn't believe it.

 

Mine came bare

 

I ordered bare. When I got it it was powder coated. When I emailed them all I got was that was what was on the shelf so that's what we sent. When I suggested they make it stainless instead I basically got laughed at cause "we get about 10 1st gen mount orders a year, stainless isn't an option." Idk why they can't cut to order and make stainless an option. And when I told them how a CB needs a proper ground and how the powder coat will not allow the ground, all they said was use a lock washer.

 

I have heard that you can put tundra breaks on gen 1s. Can you give a list of parts that you have to get for the conversion ?

 

Hmm that sucks

 

Stahp. I'm already drowning in maintenance.

 

It's super easy. Not exactly cheap. But super easy.
