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

I’m in the same boat. My kings bottom hard 2-3 times when I’m out pushing it. Gotta change the valving or something idk but it’s not impressive as is. I don’t suppose there is any way to fit a hydro/air bump in on a mid travel setup either to help out...

 

haha I was looking at those hydro bumps...look and sound awesome but not going to fit on our stock LCAs as-is. In the meantime, I'm likely going to go with some Wheeler's front Superbumps for 2nd gens and make them fit on my 1st gen, should help out some.

Also been eyeballing these poly bullet style front bumps that Energy suspension and Daystar make, but I dunno how much of an improvement over stock those would be.

 

Got these in the mail today, I'm tired of the quarter windows flapping in the wind



Also does anyone know how to install, I didn't know there wasn't any screws

Nvm found it on YouTube!

 

Cleaned my throttle body and MAF sensor today. Also hit 240k this weekend on a trip to Vegas.

 

How was your idle after doing your TB? Mine was weird for a couple days, idled pretty high (1500 RPMs) and slowly went back to normal. I also added a thicker gasket between the TB and supercharger so maybe that had something to do with it, but it eventually came back down.

 

It’s pretty high, about the same as you but I’m pretty sure it’s the ecu relearning the throttle position..

 

Yeah it'll go back down. Supposedly disconnecting the battery for a few minutes helps it relearn more quickly but I don't know if that's true, I did that and it still took a day or two to return to normal.

 

Yeah I had a Camry come into work once that needed a battery and when we disconnected it and replaced it, the car wouldn’t stay running..the tb was so clogged that it ran fine when it came in, but then couldn’t relearn with the new battery...being a tech I’ve witnessed some weird shit with cars...anything is possible

 

Crazy. I cleaned my TB hoping it would help my poor MPG's I was getting but was surprised to see that it was fairly clean. Still gave it a good once over with TB cleaner and a soft brush.

 

I almost think a guy could get away with bracing/plating the LCA and adding a boxed in extension to bump off of here:



It looks like it could still clear at full lock also.



@TacomaGuy23 think they would fit?

 

I have so many Tacomas I decided to open my own Toyota dealership.

Inquire within.





Shoutout to @Mtn Mike for the banner.

 

You have a nice house dude! And the banner makes it even better

 

Haha thanks. Neighbors were looking at me funny while I was taking the pictures.

 

There's an old pic of a 4runner that has a bump like that. It can be done, but probably not on stock backspacing

 

Post it up if you stumble upon it please Stock BS would definitely be a problem. I’m at 3.5 and there looks to be enough room..

 

Just make one it’s really easy

 

Gotchu...

 

Installed my headlights today

 

Finally found a cheap one @Digiratus. Turns out, no point to getting it at the swap meet - just get a "used - with scratches" from amazon for $6, hahahahaha!
