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

I need to get another daily, right now I'm alternating between my Tacoma and my 84 4Runner. When I finally merge those two together I'll need another DD to get by while I have both trucks indisposed. When I say another DD I mean another project that will have to wait it's turn. Like maybe an SC300 or older Supra.

 

Lol this is why I need to make sure it's a boring slush box. I already have a bunch of projects. I have a pit bike I just finished rebuilding that I am trying to sell to fix my R6. Need to consolidate so I can actually enjoy my motorcycle again. Having a 4wd project really is a time suck compared to bikes.

 

Or a cts-v or a an M3

That's what I'm doing, Supra is on hold to modify once the truck is done (read more complete )

DD is by far the best mod

 

Just do like @Blackdawg and I did, 3 Tacoma, a trail rig, DD and a backup for both.

 

2 Tacoma’s/4runners are better than 1.

 

This really is the best way haha

 

3 is even better

 

Maybe when I graduate.

But probably second gens by then, or maybe 1st and 2 seconds

 

Wife wants a 4runner....i think ima sell her lexus and make it happen....ugghh, more mods...lol

 

Anyone know if the red and black wire that is under the driver seat the reverse light wire?

 

Isnt it the seat belt wire?

 

With a lift and some over sized tires it would look dirrtyyy the shell would give it a very nice balanced look imo and still very functional

 

Ummm, I don’t know. I just read on custom tacos that the reverse light wire was red and black and figure I double check here.

 

The dual compressor has double the cfm of the single and 100% duty cycle. I provides more cfm than my pancake compressor at home. Ive also read you can run certain pneumatic tools without an aux tank.
I got to see them in action side by side and the difference was huge. Other than faster tire filling, I tried using the single to clear the dust from my door jams/camping gear/bed with the single and was not cutting it. The dual had no problem.
The compressor is large so I will probably end up with some sort of semi-removable set up in the bed with hookups at the 4 corners. Or where my spare goes in some sort of waterproof/dustproof box that I can pop open for cooling and airflow when I use it. I dunno ill figure it out if I ever get it.
The price tag is steep so I got a resonable interim compressor until I figure out how to save money or win the lottery.

 

Something you may want to consider- "DIY Powertank". They're super handy, and relatively cheap.

 

I never really thought about the difference. Am I understanding this right?
relays can use a semiconductor or electromagnet and are used for smaller loads, while solenoids always have a moving component and can handle larger loads?
Are there pros/cons between the solid-state and electromagnetic relay?

 

How bad was that for the winch? Would you recommend a wireless or hardwired controller?

 

I have a DD that eats more fuel than a V6 taco :/ Looking at getting another today though
