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

ScanGauge MPG's are accurate. I have had mine for many years now. Has instantaneous MPG reading, MPG per trip, MPG per tank however you want to select. Just record your fill-ups. I always enter price paid too for accurate costs for trips. Plus there are many other X_Gauges that are programmable into the ScanGauge. Highly recommend.

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

You should put a rear locker in. Or just get a new truck.

 

What different paint would you recommend to make the needle more translucent at night?

 

I have no idea that’s the problem, but I have to replace brake backing plate, so I bought the nut and press plates to do it all

Works with 2uz and w59 trans... so tempted to pull the trigger because I have a wrecked tundra with a 4.7 just sitting at home. Anyone with input?

 

Check my build. Brad at @HotMetalFAb hooked my rear up

He also built my bro in laws swingout. @Rmoreno1

 

Ooops. Confused threads. Thought thos was the sac area thread

 

I'll buy a turd gen an tow the '98 around with it as a backup.

 

I mean..a 4.7 swapped taco is sweet. Guy on here did that. Wouldn't run a w59 with it though. No strong enough

 

What makes them not strong enough?

I do have a r150f lying around just would have to change the output on it or input on my j shift (kinda). I'm not a fan of the push button 4x4. I think you can buy a bellhousing for a r150f aswell instead of an adapter.

 

Redneck paint booth.

 

The r serise is just a stronger built transmission than the w serise.

Check out this thread. I think he ended up swapping to a 4runner tranny (the one that came with a v8) and multi mod tcase because his r150f went out.

So I got a Hi-Lift for Christmas and I want to mount it to the RTT rack that I had @turbodb build me a few months back. Any mounting ideas? Here is a pic of the rack for reference

 

Drill two 1/2" holes and use a 1/2" bolt and nuts to hold it down.

 

I drilled holes into the side supports and bolted quick fists to it. Holds it great.

 

Lots of reading later... he lacked a good clutch that would hold the torque of the v8. The r150f held it just fine. I would think if you didn't try and chirp the tires into 2nd every time the w59 would hold up.

 

I mean if you have a spare r150f I'd just use it.
