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

I’ve heard that. I’ll doible check. I don’t think all pro does that tho.

 

Yeah I would love to see what other's have done.

That uses the steering rack mount right?

 

Nope. There are trails up there that are open to wheeled vehicles. I'll understand if you don't want the ST maxxs to show you up

 

@cynicalrider Yes. I used two bolts, the big bolt on the driver side and the lower bolt on the passenger side.

I honestly don't like it that much, I'll have to remove those bolts to drop the skid.

One thought I had was to make a bracket that attaches to the steering rack bolts, but also has some welded nuts that the skid would mount the skid. Then I wouldn't have to deal with big torqued bolts just to clean up some spilled oil.

 

That's not a bad idea either. Something that doesn't need to be removed with the skids when needed but beefy.

 

Received my side mirror over the weekend.
Hopefully i get the second one to complete the pair, i did pay for the pair.

 

I installed some Wet Okole neoprene seat covers I had ordered some two months back during a sale. These things fit like a glove, and the color matches perfectly! I wish I had gone with these the last go around instead of universal-fit sheepskin.

 

How long has the bed been painted? Gotta be careful putting emblems on fresh paint cause most do it when it isn’t fully cured and it will mess it up when you pull them off

 

Have to try and figure out what’s wrong with the truck tomorrow i only got 169 miles out of a full tank, i usually get 200-220

 

Driving into headwinds?

 

They fit great for sure! When I had a set on my previous bucket seats people wouldn't believe they were seat covers. Did you get any of the extra options (seat warmers, lumbar support)?

My contributions for the day:

Battery tie down (thanks again @Coupe)


and thanks to this thread I relocated my washer fluid reservoir

 

Winter gas?

 

I wasn't aware of any of the options, so I guess I didn't do my homework first. I noticed their brochure says they will repair any of their seat covers for $20, so I'm going to be making use of that. The left panel on the driver's side seat always wears out where my thighs rub while getting in and out of the truck. I figure when I have them repair it I'll request a heavy duty nylon panel or double layer or something.

 

No my truck wouldn’t idle good a couple weeks ago so i pulled the throttle body off and cleaned it good and now it runs better but i have a check engine light for the throttle position sensor so i guess it’s bad. Gonna change that and the plugs and wires and see what happens

 

Don’t think so, think it’s a sensor

 

What code is it throwing?

 

I need to do this ^^

 

I was just curious. I bought my set used and they had the seat heaters. I added the lumbar support later. They're about an hour and a half away from me so they were able to add it while I waited.

That's a great idea. Reinforce the higher wear spots. Enjoy them man...kinda miss mine.

 

The washer fluid relocation was definitely needed since I've had my plate bumper on for a while now. Just looked awful hanging there and the tires would rub off road as well. Oh, my original washer fluid reservoir was already starting to crack.

 

Can’t remember off the top of my head but i have the matco Maximus 2.0 scanner and it said something about the butterfly not closing fully
