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

If it makes you feel better I had to use the cutoff wheel to remove the tie rod jam nuts a few weeks ago. Rust is a PITA

 

Yes it is a Trail Gear but the bolts will go in from either side, without removing the bumper.

 

Cleaned MAF and checked for something obvious to cause a drop to 9 mpg. No luck

 

I've been working on an 82 Chevy S-10 the last three days so all I've done is drive my Taco for a few minutes. Been fun to work on a carb'd vehicle for a change though. Nothing like a little Bernoulli effect to get the fuel flowin.... Should be business as usual now that my buddy and I have that thing sorted out so back to the Taco. Gonna hit up the local ORV tomorrow to test everything an make sure the Taco is happy.

 

Maybe a good point here .?

That'll work. Thx.

 

Made a lumber run so I can build myself a work bench/garage storage. Rides much better with weight in the back.

 

Love the wheels & color on your truck

 

Impulse red is my favorite first gen color. Just about any "normal" rim color works: black, silver, bronze, whatever. Those copper SCS RAY10s look pretty amazing with that color, imo.

 

When I started my search, I didn't even consider red as an option. After over a year I finally expanded my search to include it and found my truck right away. It's really grown on me

 

Fumoto installed today!

 

Sounds about right. I was looking for super white and ended up with imperial jade mica. The color has grown on me, like a fungus

 

Is that the 103...I was thinking of picking one up with my rat skid coming I want to make sure it will fit... not sure hoe big of a hole will be in the new skid it would sure make it easier.

 

It was this one!

Nice looks good have to see what my skid gives me for working clearance.

 

I'm looking to illuminate my KC off road light switch backlighting by using the dash light rheostat. Apparently there is an extra unused Rheostat plug? I can't seem to find it. From the dash the harness goes into the rheostat dimmer, and then splits into the ECT switch.

Has anyone used this apparent extra rheostat plug, or used the ETC button to illuminate the backlighting on their accessory switches?

 

Installed 1997 4runner cloth seats into my 1999 Tacoma.

 

Was it a three bolt setup or do you swap rails? Looks nice

 

Trans cooler install today...

Side note: of course the wires and everything were cleaned up after it was actually secured

Also had the relocate one of the horns and extend the wires. Didn't figure out that the bracket to mount the horn was the ground for quite some time because there's two wires going into it and I had just assumed... derp

 

Got in a good day of fun with friends...




Hill climbs and descents were fun. Got to use the winch to help my buddy in his S10 get up a climb and I fucked up my alignment at some point so straight is slightly left now. Haha good day had by all
