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

Where's the metal bumper inserts?

 

285/70R17s ?

 

Bought the truck without them. planning on building a bumper shortly so I haven't cared to put money into that bumper.

285/75/17 Toyo at2s.

 

There and 98-00 with dual cats.

All 01-04s have dual cats.

All 95-97 are singles.

 

as long as it isnt actually rusted through it would still sound the same as new. no packing to burn out.

 

i seeee. what you replacing with?

 

Lower ball joints: Check. Now I can stop worrying so much when I'm driving down the road. I couldn't feel a lot of play in them, but I was hearing that occasional groaning noise when I was turning, and when I got them off I could see where all the grease was gone. It was time.

 

Man I got the F5's in Bronze last year, wishing I would've waited and got these instead

 

Ever get the finished product, interested to see how this went.

 

Guy hasn't been on in 4 years, don't think you'll get an answer.

 

Well dang. I really like looking through some of the earlier posts on here but then it drives me insane when I see something I really like or have a question about and then I can't get it answered.

 

Went out for a drive earlier. All went well, but something caught my attention. A beeping sound. It beeped 5 times. That was it. Nothing else happened. No lights, didn't drive differently. Just a soft beeping sound. Not a clue what it was. I have heard this one other day, a few weeks ago. That time I wasn't driving, I was just sitting in my truck listening to music. It wasn't even on, just in the accessory position. That time it did the same beeping thing a few times in a couple minutes and that was that. My first thought was the alarm (which, unless it's just a window break alarm does nothing but turn a light red) but that's just a baseless guess. I didn't notice the alarm light come on.

Anyone have a clue what this is?

 

What is that?

 

catalytic converter, this one looks slightly fucked though

 

That's what I thought, but I've never seen inside one before

 

I work on beaters for friends a lot and tend to see them in this condition from years of running rich or super lean because people ignore the O2 sensor CEL or never diagnose their "pirate air" issue.

 

Bought a 97 4runner ecu today off ebay for Frankenstein. Hopefully cure my stupid boost issues.

 

living up to the name

 

About as much as possible at this point haha
