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

My truck is still broken. And now the battery is shot too.

Not even going to bother getting a new battery for a couple months.

 

Scanners aren't always going to hit the nail on the head. Hopefully you can collect more info and have a list of things to help you diagnose what it is.

 

Will be putting mine in soon too. Best looking mod next to the battery holder

 

Where’d you get it?

 

Post #37 is essentially what I did:

You're welcome! I'm sure you'll get good use out of it.

 

Painted my grille surround and emblem. Changing out the chrome.

 

Went out to get my deer stands from the public land today. Only pic I got was next to the bridge that leads to a prison. She did get off the road and into the woods though

 

Finally got 2/3rd of the garage organized, which means I can shove the Tacoma in there and make my neighbors happy haha. Now I just gotta clear out the Chevy taking the other 1/3 up...

 

It was baked and sat for two weeks before putting them on. I did order new emblems, but won't be attempting to swap them out until this summer. I really need to decide where I'm going with this truck because part of me wants to move back home in a year. We've discussed the idea of painting the cab back to OEM specs since the hood has rock chips and there's a few other dings and light dents. Do I take it the rest of the way? The truck has no market value in my area.

 

I just repainted my headlight fillers and they already have collected several heavy rock chips in each panel. I'm going to repaint them again and this time I ordered some 3M clear vinyl protector to go on top of the paint. Anyone have experience with this

product?

 

What area is this?

 

How's this any different than an axle relocation plate? Or are you saying those aren't great either? (which has been my feeling)

 

no he was saying putting one block on one side.

The relocation plates are 3/8'' thick. Thats nothing.

I usually get 300 in the winter and my last tank was 242. It's been like this for awhile. Even in the summer months.

Went from 21 mpg to 17 mpg for no obvious reason. And I've changed the plugs, cleaned the MAF and TB. Have no codes.

 

Cat could be getting plugged.

 

What happened to Goldilocks?

 

How do I plunge the cat? (Innuendo intended)

Or since this one is too worn out do I get a fresh one? (Innuendo also intended)
