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

What in sam hell?

Found a nice Toyota one used on ebay, will probably pick it up.

After my boostless drive IMO either the A340 really likes to stick to low gear, or its all the miles that are on mine. If it was a little more aggressive to down shift (more so than what ECT does), I probably wouldn't even be doing this bypass valve mod. If/when I do the transgo VB, will be interesting to see if I never use the valve mod.

 

Those years of VW were so gutless it took a large vacuum tank to keep the a/c and heater ducts working when under full throttle. Old school problems.

 

That’s exactly what they were set up for, I’m 99% sure I know who’s truck that use to be.

They are getting less and less common since dogs aren’t allowed in certain types of hunting in CA

 

That would actually make sense. The interior is full of dog hair.

 

Do you really know whos truck that was? It was at the Modesto Pick-n-Pull and I see you are in Modesto.

 

Yea

 

Crazy. What’s the story behind it?

 

Just running dogs for bear and cougar hunting

 

That’s cool. Small world.

 

Local Best Buy cyber Monday deal!

 

What needs to be tighten or replaced to stop the glass from rattling while its fully down in the driver door?

 

No ill just go doorless like a jeep.

 

Eeew!
Lol

 

Tube doors like cool kids?

 

Fell out of the track.

Check the bolt on the end of the door that is below the door mechanism. Often that is just loose and the window hasn't actually fallen out. Its a 10mm with a large washer.

If the window fell out it will close weird, like fall a bit here and there. Have to take apart the door to reseat it.

 

Hasn’t fallen out completely yet I believe.

Thanks ill go check it out.

 

I never understood door-less Jeeps...as if being in something so prone to rolling over wasn't dangerous enough as is, you gotta go and remove the doors lol

 

Happened a bit ago, but got around to writing up my fold-out table for my swing-out bumper. At least, the first (and so far only) revision of it. Was a fun easy fab. Lots of learning along the way.

Oh I have no doubt it's fun...knowing me if I tried it I'd probably commit to doing it, same reason I won't get on a motorcycle lol.

I could see it being fun around town or on some easy trails but crawling on rocks with no doors would make me nervous to say the least, even with a regular seatbelt on I feel like your limbs would be toast in a doorless rollover
