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

Go into commercial welding man. You know how much those fuckers make?

 

That’s true, I’ve only ever experienced the oil part of it though, you earn every cent.

 

I’m a new taco owner...it was completely stock except rims when I got it now it’s got the blue and grey wire mod and rear diff breather extension.. missing skid plates so that’s what I’m saving for now

 

Dafuqs the blue wire mod, nice truck, welcome, might as well let us know where abouts youre from.

 

I’m an hour southeast of Indianapolis blue wire mod is for the locker.m

 

That’s the grey kiddo

 

Then it’s the 2 low mod

 

Mine looks about like that... I need to find where its coming from.

Aye another fellow Hoosier. I'm just north of Indy.

 

Well see, no one ever calls it that.

 

I was hesitant at first but it worked out

 

Could be a faulty t-stat or maybe air in the system...don't think blown HGs are very common on 3.4s unless you've really overheated it at some point.

230 is no bueno though, I run at 188 normally unless I'm pulling up a long hill with the AC on, then I might break 200.

 

No that’s the Gray wire mod. Never heard of a Blue wire mod.

 

Anyone here have a contractor shell?

My dreams of owning an enclosed trailer have been shattered by the distinct lack of towing capacity with the 3RZ Auto.

 

It would look better still if he'd remember to turn the gas on.

 

Honestly, these don't look too bad to me. There are some undercuts, sure- but I bet they'd pass a bend test.

I mean, you're NOT ready to take a 6G test, but I think you have a solid base to build on, on multiple levels.

 

Looking good, sir. I have GOT to get to work on drawing mine up for the Blazer, and getting the damn winches mounted! I'm sick of tripping over them in the garage.

 

Keep us posted! I bet you do well! My son will be doing the same soon.

 

How long did this take you? Access looks to be a stone b__ch.

Also, believe you may need to use the front 4 grooves. Check your belt alignment- that will kill the belt quicker than anything.

 

Well done. My hat's off to you, young man!

I take you for about 22 or so? My son is 18, and he's taking a welding class in his senior year. He is interested in welding and perhaps mechanical work as a career, definitely something in the Trades. So basically, he's now where you were not long ago.

Our country needs more good men like you two.
