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

I find it kinda funny that theres always an argument over what the fastest method is to air up, half the time personally Im just sitting around BS'ing waiting for everyone else anyway lol

 

If the weather is nice it ain't a big deal. When it's less than nice I prefer to be done first and sit in my warm truck.

 

I like being done fast with CO2. Let's me do other things if needed without holding up the group or take more photos.

 

If this was a real concern Frank would have disappeared suspiciously for an insurance payout haha

 

You got your own little parts store there.

 

I'm right behind you with 264K. Replaced the Right valve cover and right front wheel bearing today. Wheel bearing is kind of a bitch to do by yourself. Needed 4 hands with 20 fingers to line everything up in the press.

 

Changed my meth injection order out for an AEM kit. Gonna be neat to see how it effects my timing and temps. Really like how easy it is to change the AEM settings vs the snow.

 

Hey brotha I’ve seen you and your rig around my work a couple times! Didn’t think I’d actually see you on TW. I had asked you where you got the shark decals

 

Guess the tire size


and before you start to pick it apart, it was built by a company for an outfitter to hunt out of.

And yes, they didn’t lockers before light bars.

 

Hmmm 35's? Can't be bigger than 37's for sure.

 

Bigger, I’ll take a picture later for evidence.

 

I'm going 40's on 18's, fenders are cut makes the tires look smaller, and looking at the one on top....

 

That's true hopefully there's no steering clearance

 

It just did two... Had three sections of it, one hose from compressor line to the intake coupler on a little whip hose with tire quick connect. Had a tee to coupler to add another hose to other tire. Also a gauge and a shut off.

Yup, hard and expensive lesson learned on purchasing Chinese crap electronics. The better news is it seems that now seat heaters, even the cheap ones now cycle on and off if you leave them on... Mine didn't.

 

My buddy has that and it's worked well the few time's we have used it. Haven't crossed checked it to see how accurate it is tho. If I had OBA I'd probably buy it

 

@turbodb @m3bassman @Blackdawg

The new rave in the jeep world is this thing: https://updownair.com/jeep-jk-2/

Its exactly what you guys are talking about. 4 tire air up all at once controlled by one gauge. In this case the gauge is mounted by the compressor and all works off of a switch. They also use it for air down. If you own a JK, you have to have one of these to do trails lol.

 

Another thing to consider @turbodb if your serious about doing your experiments, which I’m sure you are, is shut offs or something to keep you from running around your truck disconnecting everything at once. Obviously you can always adjust after the fact n let air out. If your that concerned w time, co2 is the way to go. My buddy yesterday aired up two trucks before I finished w my 3rd tire with my arb single compressor. I know you like tinkering so I feel most of the fun for you will be the challenge of making it happen. Still if you do someone will be standing over you saying...co2
Just a friendly thought


Not saying Im not curious w hearing what you find


Edit or just get this ^^^

 

I think the big difference in time is the size of your compressor and what your airing up to. I have a viair 400p? compressor I want to say and it only takes me a few minutes to air from 10 psi to say 22-25 psi on 37 in tires. I can do 2 1/2-3 tires with my compressor for the time it takes a buddy with c02 to do his 4 37s but he probably goes from 6-8psi to 28-30psi. None the less it takes me 25 minutes to air up 8 37 in tires from 10 to 20-22psi.

 

Nice color

 

Swapped in seats from a 95 4Runner. Much more comfortable with actual side bolsters lol
