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

At least my extraction didn't take a wrecker with 600' or whatever of tow straps chains and cables haha

 

Is this in reference to when the old man crunched his door?

 

I was pretty sure I was remembering one of Monte's ordeal correctly.

 

The door crunch was a different time haha

 

I figured.

Still, thanks for those pictorials.

 

LEDs will fit perfect! One nearly fits into the pre-existing cutouts, and the pod will fit perfectly where the ARB logo was, not sure why they had the holes cut out there in the first place but it makes the perfect location for new lights without having to cut out much more than what's already there.

 

Utah, pretty sure that's across the country.

I crunch the panel underneath my back window tonight. I just unscrewed the back speaker and popped it out though so that's good.

 

Buttoned it all back up after the 30k maintenance.

Completed:
Plugs
Belts
Idler pulley (no more squeak)
Removed sc and did an oil change
Cleaned throttle body/new gasket
Cleaned IAC/new gasket
Intake/sc gasket
Pcv Valve
Replaced TPS
Cleaned MAF
Clean air filter
And probably more I'm missing

Also put stock front bumper on. Want to modify my tube bumper. I kind of like the stock bumper back on

Went to start it and it ran like shit...

Turned out to be the 7th injector gasket wasn't in place. Now it runs great!

The idle has been kind of high but I think it's just the ecu re learning everything.



Pads and rotors are next


Was toying around with the idea of a ram air intake using one of the turn signal cut outs in the bumper . Probably won't be worth the effor. But would be fun!

 

I'm so jealous right now super charged

 

What was wrong with the gasket exactly?

 

Only one of the two bolts that hold the injector to the sc made it through the gasket. So it was just hanging there.

 

Ah gotcha.

 

Lol you were hoping for a possible answer to yours weren't you?

 

Fuck yea haha

 

Monte i'll pay postage, just grab a box and put it all in there.

 

You try to new ecu already?

 

You bet! Looks like shipping to you is....$2500.

Waiting for payment.

Yep. Made it worse.

 

i'm not a postal carrier, but something smells fishy here.

 

Insurance man. Weather has been wreaking havoc on shipping. Don't want you to loose it.

 

you aren't kidding. i have two cell phones that were supposed to be delivered on Friday and still haven't arrived due to the weather...

I hope you take I owe yous
