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

Anybody know the torque specs on the throttle body?

 

Tight but not too tight, say 12-18ft lb. I just do it by hand

Yup you got it. I’ll be returning the coil bucket gussets. Didn’t know they don’t fit 4 cyl trucks. Might modify it to work. Not sure yet.

 

Not a half bad guess haha

 

Yota tech thread is all over the place haha 20,15,11, haha we went with lucky 13 haha

 

What else can bed racks be used for other than an RTT? I did see you can use it as a spare tire holder and stuff like Maxtrax but are those the only things? I've been searching but everything I listed are the only things that keep coming up.

 

Transporting calves, chickens, goats, and pigs. You'll need to chicken wire it in first.

IMO bed racks really cut down on the utility value of having a truck

 

I have lights to be put on mine so the bed is lit and I keep my hilift there. Not much more I'd want on mine specifically cause I like to keep everything very low.



It's very rare I use the truck for anything other than trips and wheeling I have a trailer and the cruiser for other stuff.

 

My friend uses his cab height one to haul large pieces of lumber a lot. Sometimes he throws a plywood sheet on top and will set up his tent on it as well

 

Do I need extended length u-bolts for a single 1.5 add a leaf?

 

Any one running LED upgrades to the stock H4 headlight bulbs? If so, which ones? Saw a set on superbriteleds.com with good reviews. Looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

 

That's been a concern of mine since the 2nd gen's came out. I've yet to really look close at either the 2nd's or 3rd's, but I know I trust the quality of my '04 completely. I'm definitely going to closely inspect the '18 models before dropping the kind of coin they're asking for them.

 

Turd gen

 

Put on two layers on the back today.
And new spark plugs

 

Ubolts off, new ones on w new bumps...thx zane for the new ubizzies...these autozone ubolts are fn crap

 

Had to do the same when I removed my autozone ubolts (needed a set in an emergency so I used them as temps). Darn things wouldn't come off so I cut the suckers up just like you did. Nice bumps stops by the way!
