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

Im putting chassis saver after the milky rust converter dry up at least 2 days, then chassis saver all over just as regular coat.

 

Dyno'd it. Closer to 16.5 actually...

 

Changing the bed up abit. A dollar fifty in longer hardware for tailgate plate. No more then a few minutes for the ext. with a saw and a dremel.repaired some cargo gouges from previous owner and sprayed bedsides to clean it up over all. color matched a few minor things since I had extra paint already activated.I toned down the chrome all around too thank goodness...Also feelin alil festive if u couldn't tell

 

All pro

 

So are you gunna finish killing off the chrome?

 

Installed my color matched grill today. Looks a ton better then the old black one I had before.

Lies.
When we gonna see some action pics?

 

I have mid terms soon.

I'm going to try to make it the TW Christmas Tree trip this year, and maybe a weekend trip if any fit my schedule.

 

Nope. Did the pinch weld mod. No dice.

 

Okay. Deckplate mod. Anything i need to know other than to use MAF Sensor safe sealant?

 

285/70/17 (33"-11.5") is fairly proven to fit. Unless you meant 285/75/17?

 

Nope. But its a fun cheap little project and it sounds kinda cool. Always reversible aswell.

 

So many conflicting opinions on this subject since i have been doing research on tw. Have read many threads on here that say it has been dynoed a few times and with the deck plate mod it produces 6-8 more hp with the 3.4l and 5-6 with the 2.7l. Also read some threads on some 4-runner forums claiming the same thing per dyno findings. Gets confusing.

 

Yes they are. They're the stock mirrors from the factory. Would be very useful for the trails you hit.

 

Maybe a project when you have money just sitting at a corner collecting dust at the bank.

 

Really clean for a 1st gen headlight.

 

Awesome. I would've stuck with a 2nd gen. I believe Toyota might still be working out the bugs on the 3rd gen tacomas. Plus the extra money likke you said would get you straight up with a lift and some wheels and tires.

 

I been thinking about getting a bike next summer. Would be great to keep the extra miles away from my truck. Plus gas mileage.

 

Damn it. I wish I had a manual to make the change.

 

Really love the color! Did you just spray the bed extender with paint and didn't scratch it up or put any plastic adhesive on it?
