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

Yea if I have the AC on ( not on in pic) it will cycle high and low. Well that makes me feel better, seeing others think it's normal. Now can anyone come up with an answer to my light accessory problem ?? Went through multiple trials harnesses etc.

 

Well...........shaft is at a shop...yeah no go there.




Went to the junkyard in hopes of finding some replacement parts and found me a rr e-locker button off of a 4runner. They took the rear dif so i got screwed on that and I'm unable to get to the front dif because the dummies who were ripping stuff apart left it unsafe for me to get under the suv.

 

New Pathfinder ATs are in. 265 70 16s.

 

That's normal, mine idles there in park with the e brake on.

 

Slow down on that cervesa, that was in reference to a high output alternator lol




In other news, I filled in a hole.

Anybody running this one?

 

Basically what I'm running, mine was rebranded as a DieHard but it has been a great battery.

 

Rebuilt or just used?

 

I have NOT checked a FSM on that spec. Mine and the other 2 taco 1st gen autos i had Park or netrual idel were 700-800. In gear any gear that is, its 600-700. Unlike a stick shift, you cant change idle before you engauge power transfer. So keeping the motor at a rpm where it can transfer the tq and not stall is the goal.

Like speedytech mentioned check smog line leaks l, plugs or even a plugged up cat converter.

I meant the motor, my bad

 

almost every trd ive ran on TIS shows up with 225/75r15. Its just the standard size until the trd package was added.

 

very noice

 

Mine is the same (speedo reads 65 when going 60 on gps). It drives me absolutely nuts! I don't give a shit about the speedo, I get mad that my truck is clocking miles that it's not actually driving. It comes out to about a 92% difference (i.e. my odometer reads 130k, but it has really only travelled 120k.)

 

You can have the last laugh at Toyota by throwing on some 37's and not regearing.

Oh, wait. That'll suck. So yeah, they'd still get the last laugh.

I don't worry at all about the ODO. I'm never selling this truck anyway so who cares? It's just some interesting trivia that you can bore other people with. I bet it's true of a lot of car brands. hahahaha

 

Doesn't matter how slow you're going or how much metal you have to cut. You always get the last laugh with 37s

 

Took it out of a fresh kill - 160k with a transmission. The truck was mint before the bent frame caused it to be a total loss.

 

Probably right. actually was the margaritas and senoritas
I referenced the Tundra brake upgrade. Just quoted the wrong post.

 

If I were to put a 1600lb pressure plate behind my 3rz what kind of differences from stock should I expect?

I need to replace my clutch but I'm hoping to do a motor swap in the next few months and I would rather not buy two pressure plates if the 1600lbs would work behind my current motor.
