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

I hate it when people do not pay attention... it has ben nearly 2 years since a guy hit me and drove off... I still have problems in my left arm from it.

 

Not sure someone already answered but you SHOULD NOT use that style nut with factory wheels.

 

So im curious what brand fuel filter you guys swapping with?

 

I got an Autozone filter, maybe not the finest choice but usually filter products are built by one of three companies all of which are decent.

 

Lunar Mist DCs on parade.

 

Working on a custom install for some LED fog lights, possibly Rigid.

 

I put a supercharger on.

 

ooo don't see a blower on a 3rz very often. Cool.

 

I left mine stock today. Newbie here. Thought I'd give a finger to all the Gen1 homies. Sub'd.

 

The 3rz is really good on torque so slow speed off-road I never had any problems but on the highway it needed more power. Going up hills or having a strong headwind always slowed me down.

 

Count me among the jealous, I'd love one of those for my four banger. Did it perk up nicely afterward? Did you swap to pink injectors?

 

It did for sure, Iv only got about 20 miles on it so far so the ecu is still "figuring it out" but it has perked up nicely. Stock injectors, are the pink ones larger/flow better?

 

They are higher flow, came stock in 01-04 3RZ engines and are good for a few extra HP provided by the blower whereas the browns that our engines came with are pretty close to their limit. I have a set of pinks for when I can afford the supercharger.

So I looked at our non ABS tundra and confirmed it has a regular straight axle without any block off plates or neck down.




I need to reconfirm on a tundra one with ABS but I'm pretty sure it's necked down kind of like these on my Tacomas. Both have ABS axles but no ABS itself. You can see the block off plate too here. Sorry for the shadow.



Just figured I'd share lol

 

I appreciate it, I don't think mine is necked. Mine is before ABS was so common that they only produced one type of axle.

 

I didn't even know mine was until recently. I went to order a new upgraded axle seal from LR and it said in there it wouldn't work on trucks with ABS. I figured I was good since I don't have ABS. Got it and it wouldn't fit, then figured it out after lots of wtf moments. It has the ring gear on the axle, just no motors lol. Like this:

 

I might have to find a few of those myself. Its not a cheap upgrade thats for sure :\

 

#2 solution, always insist on parking forward, pull through so you dont have to back out. It simple enough, and less hassles trying to look both directions for people, cars in busy lots while trying to back up/out.

 

Oh yeah, thanks, working on it.

 

It's interesting that you got parasitic draw from cutting the wire. Did you also cut the wire that goes to the switch or relay? Maybe that could have been the issue.
