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

I love this so much, cause I'm a Tarheel that currently lives in KY. (Not particularly attracted to my sister tho)

 

On the passenger inner fender wall

Did the previous owner have a 5th injection setup?

 

No clue, why?

 

I've changed mine and my Dad's through the fender opening. Just gotta make sure to break the lines loose before loosening the bracket. Not easy, but doable in 30 mins.

I saw a guy recently say he took the lines loose from the first connection away from the filter and pulled the filter with lines still attached. Then all he had to do was remove the bracket bolt and snake the whole system out. I am going to investigate that next time (if there is a next time...).

 

Was asking if the 4 bangers superchargers original owner had a 7th injection

 

This. I'd just move a little east to somewhere in Nevada or similar. Only good wheeling spots are Off-road parks like AOP, Windrock and a few others. The rest is just fire service roads and really meh. But it is cheaper to live out here

 

Since nobody has looked up the details... I found it in 2 seconds.

The methanol that’s added to lower the freezing point temperature is a volatile organic compound, and the [California] Air Resources Board [aka CARB] has banned premixed low-temperature fluid everywhere in California except where the temperature drops below freezing for extended periods, such as the Sierra Nevada. But concentrate can be sold anywhere in the state, and motorists can mix it themselves to make the low-temp stuff.

So, in summary. Just go buy some concentrate. Mix it yourself.

Read more here at the [California] Air Resources Board. @BartMaster1234

 

I plan on installing the reservoir there, and no I don’t think there was a fifth injector.

 

There was a 5th injector kit by URD. Not sure if TRD made one or not..can't remember. Think there was but like the TRD 7th injector kit, basically impossible to find and didn't work well anyways.

 

It's by county if we have emissions or not.

Read up on gadgets UTune to get an understanding of how the computer tunes itself. The bigger injectors won't help your afr in closed loop. The computer will see it as a rich condition and tune it out to see stoic. Open loop it should help though but I don't see my afr drop drastically until north of 4500rpms. Maybe the older ecus are different.

How are you fitting two 100# dogs in an ex cab?

 

in the 6' bed...

 

Ya it's a hard choice to make I have family in kingsland ga that's why I'm contemplating moving out there. I'd go to Nevada or Arizona but the price of living isnt much different then it is in cali.

 

Yesterday...but whatever..

Integrated dash cam, backup cam, and rear view mirror

 

Well there's some good camping out here but that's about it. If you want trails best bet is to head up to TN

 

I thought NV and especially AZ were supposed to be a lot cheaper than CA...but I'm sure the south is even less expensive.

 

Busted out lower ball joints (originals has 145k , seemed to still be in good shape, will be keeping as trail spares), Oil Change, Tire rotation and got the RTT mounted back on the rack. Ready for camping/fishing season to begin!!! Hopefully be getting out here in the next couple of weekends

 

I am playing catch up in this thread, but I didn't see anyone respond to this. I to have a dash rattle that comes from the passenger side, but it doesn't just do it on start up, to "fix" the situation I just put in some 5/8" Backer rod between the windshield and dash across the whole length of the windshield. Should be able to pick that stuff up at Home Depot/Lowes/Walmart for pretty cheap

 

Got a link? Wondering if I could wire it on full time . I can barely see out the rear view.

 

Nope. The camera is just has a wide/tall view. So you can adjust the view up and down from the touch screen itself.

Here's a pic of the camera. Granted, it's a bit big and wasn't my first choice of location but I found it gives the best view and I can still open the tailgate if I spock the handle.

I can't see shit out of my back window (dirt encrusted softtopper lol) Link Amazon had a lightning deal for it at 104 dollars. There are plenty others like it all over Amazon. But yeah, there's a hardwire kit you can get separately. I have 3 open cig lighters so I just routed it to one of them.
