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

Yeah. I'll take a look I might've mixed things up with my nerf bars.

 

I have removed and replaced most of them so many times I have no problem knowing where they go now.

 

Wow, No need to get worked up
Just saying they are not stock

 

Maybe you’re catching so much shit the last week or so because you’re so goddamn combative and touchy? I mean this place is usually pretty chill but you’ve been lighting fires since your LBJ post. Maybe take it down a notch with your self-admitted acquired sarcastic flavor?

 

I'm still not worked up

 

lol

 

Not sure what the original question even was but if you can't figure out the skid plate bolt size you probably shouldn't be working on your truck...all you gotta do is test the sockets hahaha

 

Any guys with swingouts on here feel free to post up! Looking for some ideas and some pictures of other 1st gens with em! Thanks!

 

Funny... And I'm just keeping it real here. I had a light day at work today and not much going on tonight. I've been on here having multiple conversations that have been polite, and pretty constructive... for 6 hours

Then the "old school guys" show up, start lecturing, and now I'm the guy that's being "combative" and "touchy."

None of what I have been saying has been combative or touchy. I said what I said about skid plates (of all things) and that was that.

As far as the LBJs go... I'm not running OEM LBJs like the Toyota gurus think I should. I'm sorry it offends everyone that I don't run what I'm told to run on my truck... and I'm also not the one that decides it's NOT "combative" to continue to kick that dead horse... I haven't even brought it up... but you just did.

Hey guys, have any of you gutted your catalytic converters? Does it increase any power or fuel mileage? Thinking of doing it to my 3.4l.

 

Current setup

 

Absolutely no change in my case. I had mine stolen so I put a test pipe in for a few weeks till my new one came in

 

Damn dude I dig yours... custom? The wrap arounds are pretty lowkey, tie into the body well

 

How’s the sounds quality better worse?

 

So I need some ideas... my rear drivers door keeps getting the plastic latch stuck in the closed position after opening and you have to manually move it before closing the door. It happens with the child lock open and closed. I have cleaned and lubed the mechanism and it still sticks like this... then I forget and close the door and it bounces back and I just get pissed

 

Honestly I don't really remember much of a change there either but it was 6-7 years ago

If you want a sound upgrade I'd recommend changing out the muffler it would be fairly cheap and give you a more noticeable change

 

It's an elite offroad. No longer made anymore. I customized the swingout myself.

I built this one for my good buddy @Digiratus

 

I personally don’t care if you run OEM, Moogs or popsicle sticks on your truck, I’m giving you a perspective from the outside looking in on your arguments on this thread and this is the last I’m helping you muddy said thread up.

 

That is my experience as well. On my '04, all those skid plate bolts were the same, 12 mm heads on them. They all had a self tapping type of cut on the first 3 or 4 threads. When I needed a replacement, I picked one up at Tractor Supply in the same thread size, and the heads were 13 mm.
