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

Taped my air filter box...

 

Did you take those pictures with an old potato?

 

no hahaha. sorry its from a snapchat video that I saved and I didn't want to have to go out and take the photos again. Ill get some more later

 

Not a big deal or really any deal at all, I just made myself laugh.

 

You are just spoiled by all of the photographers with great SLR cameras that are on here.

 

Do you think the nitros will hold up better than the bilstiens? I'm about to drop the dollars on those with 881s. I don't do much hardcore off-roading, but I do frequently find myself on forest service roads and creek beds looking for secluded camping spots or trailheads.

 

Probably, I knew it was snatchchat picture, that app makes everything go down in quality, EVERYTHING.

 

OME shocks do tend to last longer yes.

They are valved stiffer though and ride much different than 5100s. they will work just fine for your needs im sure.

 

Woot @turbodb I got the bed rack you sent me. Amazing job going to paint it tonight and mount it tomorrow

 

Thanks guys, I'll try that today. But, kinda dumb question, when you check the power and grounds do you like put a test light on positive and see if its grounding or do you just make sure its making good contact with bare metal.

 

just make sure there is good clean contact. And that your battery is connected to the chassis and body well.

 

Better pics.. I tried

 

Ok so I checked my grounds on the engine and in the engine compartment they all look good, and I thought while I was there I would check if I had a pulse on the injectors when I cranked and there was nothing I have the fuel pump unplugged if that would make a difference or not, I don't know, but I replaced both the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors so I don't see how they would be a problem.

 

did you find the ground that is under the intake on the driver side? pretty sure that is the ground for the ECU and the spark.

 

Anybody wanna buy an airaid intake tube? Got one for sale

 

Yeah, on the right side next to the diagnostic port, I cleaned it and made sure it was making a good connection.

 

I think I found the problem, I was checking the crank position sensor, which I should have done before all this, but it wasn't throwing a code for anything, and it seems I don't have continuity on one of the wires to the ECM. I have never replaced a wire in a loom before so I don't even know where to start so hopefully that's it.

 

Nice! You might give it a bit longer to dry before you mount it, but totally up to you

 

It's pretty windy today and I got the first coat on now it's almost dry just got a couple of spots left and she'll be done

 

Can anyone confirm what my brains tell me:

When lifting the truck the ratios like 2:1
Example:
1” block = 2 inch lift
1 1/4” block = 2.5 inch lift
1 1/2” block = 3 inch lift

Or am I wrong?
