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

Never heard of that being done. What does that consist of?

 

My small brain still cannot comprehend why that is

 

Part of my plan with the white taco is using dual hydro e brakes for some cutting effect. Always wanted to try it, but as a bonus, can lock em together too for a really powerful o shit brake

 

Atleast our trucks dont have this abomination like the auto 2nd gens do.

 

4 runner center console, 4 runner e brake, cut a hole in your floor and get a custom length ebrak cable or hope the 4 runner or other one is the right length

 

So unless the Chinese were crafty enough to include batch testing codes they’re OEM. I could only get one in the camera.

I’ll also add that my fuel pressure is just within spec when shutting the engine off. So pressure isn’t dropping off too fast.

except when it’s cold start. I start it up for a few seconds then cut it off. Then the fuel pressure drops like a brick. Which is why I’m suspecting the regulator. Its was inconsistent to begin with which is why I did injectors.

I guess I’ll do the fuel pressure regulator tomorrow and report back.

 

Gotcha. Didn’t ever really think about changing any of that. Gonna work on stacking up parts for suspension and engine. May rebuild for turbsky

 

The rear tires on my tacoma locked up with the ebrake as fast as i dared to after i adjusted the bell cranks per fsm

 

My rears work good. Not worries about their performance. I'm using the handles to tie front and rear of either side. Left handle and right handle = left side of truck and right side. Though I'm considering cutting on the rear instead of both.

 

I wouldn't put it past them. I've had runs of very very legitimate looking computer chips that were only verified as fakes when we contacted the manufacturer and they told use the lot numbers were bogus.

 

Still on the lookout for a single cab pickup 2wd or another Tacoma. Even looked at a few tundras for the next vehicle. Main thing now is fixing up the 98. All new suspension brakes and interior and wait to rebuild the motor later. That being said I’m looking for dark grey interior pieces. Hard to find as y’all know

 

Yeah. Seller (Japanesedismantling) has over 500 positive And 4 neg reviews in 12 months.

It’s also possible they were from a flood vehicle. I just assumed if there were issues it would throw red flags at the injector rebuilder. Damnit what a PITA.

 

Parking at work.

 

this is perfect. thank you for your help!

 

are there any pictures of this set up? I'd like to see it.

 

It was 5200lbs I think

 

Welded in a trailer hitch to the bumper, and welded on the frame reinforcements.

 

That's it! The counterfeit injector's pintle caps started melting into the intake manifold and then started leaking.

 

Finally finished the rollbar and get it welded in.

 

Random misfire AND misfire in neighboring cylinders, to me... this screams head gasket. Have you been slowly losing coolant by chance??
