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

You can put an airbag/hornpad from either a Toyota Altezza in there or one from a RAV4. The IS300 is my absolute favorite car of all time so I elected to keep the horn pad too.

Altezza pad...


Rav4 Pad...

 

RAV4 looks goofy anyway.
Steering wheel looks nice

 

Steering wheel looks great! I hate the feel of the stock one... Added to future mod list haha

 

No. It runs the 7th. I ping under load above 3k without it but i couldn't even drive it before really. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure it out. There are far better options out there now anyways for tuning that don't cost as much. I checked my wiring dozens of times which is all Gadget told me really to do. I changed the tune a few times too but didn't do much.

Far as i could tell it was pulling WAY too much timing. And probably adding way too much fuel. Need to add the proper gauges to monitor it right to really tune though so i just removed it for now so i could at least drive it.

 

Any smog shop in China town in Oakland will pass it. Just gotta bring a envelope with a lil scratch.

 

Thats what I was thinking. Shady SMOG shop.

 

Installed my retrofit headlights today.
Painting grille next.

 

Ah okay cool, just making sure what I was experiencing was the same. My compressor barely ever turns on, so I think I’m okay.

 

If you don't mind me asking, when did you get your truck? And when you did get it did it come with a big steel bumper? I bought a bumper off of someone in Richland, had to meet her at a local shop to get it.

 

Mine don't turn back on anymore

 

I've only had it since last month! And nope, wasn't me! Everything is pretty much stock on it. You're from Arizona and came all the way up here?

 

The dude in the big Brown Truck stopped by, today, while I was at work. If anyone is looking to mount a fire extinguisher, let me just say I highly recommend this thing. VERY heavy duty. Mounts vertical, horizantal... pretty much what ever direction you want. The clamp is sturdy and adjustable, and there are rubber pads to help with shocks.

And at 21 bucks on Amazon... that's less than half what I've seen it elsewhere.


So, I figured out a nice place to mount it, where, I think, it's discrete enough to leave mounted, yet accessible in an emergency.

 

Nah I lived in Spokane for the last 4.5 years and before that Seattle area for 15 or so. PHX is recent for me.

 

Is that a double cab with a sunroof??

 

Ohh! I was gonna say that's a super long trip haha

 

Yes it’s the limited. Even came with a sunroof cover.

 

Only thing that sucks is it doesn’t open all the way. It’s more of a sun vent lol

 

I have a red one, it is my daily driver

 

I haven’t tried this yet. Only been wheeling in the cold. Once summer comes around I’ll put it to use

 

I've actually thought of cutting the roof out and welding/body work in a sunroof from a Tacoma, or another vehicle.
