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

Normal operating temp idle should be around 700 rpm.

 

Catch can installed!

 

Thank you.

That write up was great until the dude changed his photobucket account

When the vinyl floor comes in. Still unsure of what would be a cheap sound matting I can put in under the vinyl too.

 

Are you only deadening the floor?

 

For now only because I have the floor out and want to hit it all at once. Realistically I wasn't planning on spending any of this money anytime soon but it kinda snowballed. Ideally I would love to build a bigger lockable storage box like @HBtaco02 did but no funds for that currently. Still saving for those gears.

 

Gears>Deadener.

I was just curious as you still had the rear seats and backing installed.

 

100% agree. Moab is #1 priority and still have plenty to do.

 

Nice.

 

@nmexplorer
That post is 6 years old, it says the poster hasn't been on here for almost a year.
I haven't done the same thing as him, but I did paint my canopy with plastdip and it has held up really well to pinstriping from tree branches, etc over the last couple years.

 

Nice, that seems super durable and looks good. I'll have to check into it.

 

I've only ever seen these done on 2nd gens but I mounted a RAM device mount to the grab handle using an M6 bolt on a RAM motorcycle ball mount. Works great and I don't have to use a bulky suction cup Mount anymore.

 

Looks good!

 

For the OME leaf springs, is one for the right and one for the left? Doesn't specify and not sure if the 250kg means its for the driver side and the 200kg is for passenger because of gas tank. Just making sure if me ordering the same two is wrong

I'm almost positive that they are side specific. I think mine had an A and B on them and the A was the driver side, B was passenger

 

That's what I was thinking that it was weird. But I dont think there would be a 100 lb difference in springs from driver to passenger.

 

I would buy them as a set, just to make sure you get the correct ones. You can see in the RA/RB for the SKU on Wheelers:

 

Yeah exactly. I was going to get them from headstrong since I am getting some other parts from there and free shipping. They are $17 more at headstrong though, I can see if they pricematch
