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

Yeah that light seems to be another hidden "feature". Not surprised though, since a lot of guys aren't the original owner, and the bulb was probably dead long before they get the truck. The design of the light, being on anytime you turn on parking or head lights, is silly. Normally glove box lights lasts damn near forever cuz they hardly get used.

 

Oh so much done to my truck! #newtruck!

 

Finale of our recent trip down to central-eastern Oregon (this part to run the OBDR) - it was totally different than expected, but a HUGE blast nonetheless:

Ooh. Me gusta

 

Any idea what can cause my rig to run rich? I can smell it

Hope thats the correct term.

 

If its actually rich you should get a check engine light or at least a pending code, throw a scanner on it and see what it says

 

Holy preload Batman!

 

Looks good. Those front fox coils look super short. Are they 13s or 12s?

 

That I don't know. Fox doesn't give a measurement on that, but I may end up needing a heavier spring. This is just out of the box with a ride height adjustment. Haven't gotten to dialing it in yet.

FWIW I've got 650# on my Kings and have some preload but not a lot. I think you'll be fine with 650# out setups are about the same upfront weight wise

 

Fox is a 13x600 spring, so short and lower spring rate. I had them on my old 4runner and the preload wasn't as much, but keep in mind the resting preload (no tension on the spring) was still over an inch of threads. So it's not as drastic as it looks, but moving to a 14x650 helped a lot.

 

Today I added a Tacoma world sticker

 

Purdy stepside you got there

 

19 years old and I absolutely love my Tacoma, best truck I could ask for. ( 2001 Toyota Tacoma 2.4L 5-Speed ) I stumbled upon tacoma world forums and I'm glad I did. Ever since it was handed down to me last year I've been constantly looking for new ways to improve my truck, very recently got my windows tinted 3% rear and 35% front. Still a few thing here and there that need to be fixed but will eventually get done. And I eventually want to get the truck lifted with offroad tires.

 

I've only asked @tcBob once for a TW sticker cause I've heard not to bother him. Just ask and leave your address. It's been over a year now to no avail. Anyone know who else might be able to give me one?

 

Yeah PM @ChadsPride he'll get ya handled

 

Nice! Thanks!
