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

You've heard mine right, plenty loud but not too raspy and plenty of grumble...

GM jalapeno green.

 

I love the Speedway Blue, Wish mine was that color but I'm perfectly ok with Lunar Mist

 

Will 2nd gen blocks for the front work on our trucks? Looking for a second opinion.

 

I have the same setup and mine is super raspy. Especially under wot around 4k. I don't think I've heard a worse sound in my life haha I'm hoping it's just because the pipe connecting the cat to muffler is a slightly smaller diameter and once that is replaced it will be better. Do you have a flex pipe after the collector? I keep blowing gaskets/bolts backing out at that joint.

 

Wasnt somebody asking about what color to paint the truck /\


Lol. I love your rig man. So damn clean

 

Imperial Jade Mica FTW

 

I am just about to drop the front diff, does anyone have any short cuts for it, instead of undoing the lbj and tie rod end and then pulling the cv’s?

 

Don't have a sound clip but I did straight pipe no cat and side dump. I would recommend a muffler haha. I can be heard inside the shop from 3 miles away... sounds kinda good and makes it super fun to drive. It will give you a slight ringing sound in your ears if you open the passenger window. Pedestrians defiantly stay the hell out of your way haha.

I took 2.5" od pipe and cut a 1" chunk off sliced a 1/4" out of it and crimped the ends together and slid it on to the existing exhaust where it was cut off. 2.5" od pipe slides right on tight and weld the seams. Now your 2.5" instead of the goofy 2.18" pipe Toyota uses.

 

Late to the color convo but Nautical Blue Metallic all day. Second would be Imperial Jade.



One of the first first gen's I fell in love with was an imperial jade mica with bronze TRD wheels. Sadly it did not have a rear locker and I settled on Lunar mist. But lucky for me Lunar mist hides a ton of scratches because I have a TON.

 

I think the California BAR A would have a heart attack if I bring in a straight pipe without a Catalytic Converter in haha

 

What about MGM? Wife’s T4R is MGM and that’s a sexy color and would look great on a 1stGenBestGen

 

Looks great

 

True it would look good. But mgm is played out imho

 

Another +1 for Imperial Jade Mica. If I could have found a 4WD DC in that color I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

 

Just perfect....
The stance and height along with just the right amount of armor and those wheels!!!!!!!!

Also he scores big #1 dad points for daughters B-day present.

 

looks like state borders in the mid west.

 

You probably have the wrong gasket then, LCE supplies the right one but when it comes time to replace it they tell you the wrong part number. I can dig it up later for ya, AutoZone has it and it's just a normal FelPro deal. I'm gonna guess you have the two cat setup which may sound different, but you could always add a resonator before the muffler to deepen it more. Remember it is a 4cyl though it's still gonna sound like a pissed off Honda to some degree when you're at high rpm, nothing you can do about that. Mine sounds good to about 3750-4000 then it gets kinda screamy haha.

 

Heading south towards The Racetrack... First cell reception in days!

Ha, I was just out there on Monday with a buddy of mine.
