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

I've always wondered about this. So, is it terrible for the engine when you engine-brake on long mountain declines? Riding the brakes can't be a better alternative.

 

Pump your brakes from time to time, don't ride them

 

Just an FYI those pads are dusty as hell. I have those and I'm never getting them again

 

That's funny. In the literature, it says low dust.

 

Makes my gunmetal rims look a dark bronze haha

 

Nah it's absolutely fine, it doesn't mean you're burning lean, you just aren't burning at all

 

Anyone know about what percent the rear windows are tinted in an 02? Looking into getting all my windows tinted. Tn law requires no more than 35%. Just trying to figure out what percent I would need on the rear to get it to match that on the front windows

 

Anyone have some 6” KC light guards?

 

Mines a 2000 so everything should match up perfectly, all I need is headlights, hood, hood latch

 

Finally got it offroad to test out the OME suspension. Thing rides like a dream offroad, absolutely love it.

I'll be adding weight in the bed to help lower the back another inch or so, and down the line when I add a bumper/skids I'll have to swap coils in the front.

A full day on the trails definitely proved my stock bench seat is not gonna cut it. I've seen some writeups on subaru wrx/forester seats, but does anyone know if the WRX seat will fit in the regular cabs? Curious as it looks like they're way thicker than my stock bench back.

Second question, are the tundra buckets with armrests worth considering?

To wide.

 

I posted a 5 point harness for sale if anyone is interested. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/black-g-force-pro-series-5-point-harness.547918/

 

Not putting it in your truck?

 

Not a tacoma but to funny not to share, im pretty sure my bumper would of stood up to this better that that one though

 

Cable is in, time to wire up some subs

 

What the hell are you wiring, overhead power lines?!

 

Was looking for some f connectors and coax for a cb at work and just stumbled upon that monster

 

35%

 

Those don't have insulation usually, that shit looks like it's for providing dock power to a floating city haha
