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

Well. put the magnaflow onto the 02 finally.. no more ghetto rigged license plate patch job.

 

Oh. And since the o2 nuts were rotted to no existence. I ordered some m8x1.25 brass nuts to hopefully prevent this from happening again...

 

I'd keep an eye on them, might get lose when things get hot

 

we shall see, i have em on my Avalon and haven't come loose yet, but im not using them for the sensors. theyre on the flanges

 

I looked at the thermal expansion linear chart thing, whatever it's called after I posted, and there as much as I had thought. I think it was 10ish for steel and 16 for brass which is the same as stainless, which isn't really a concern.

 

Nice, how much it set you back?

 

Warranty from my setup on the 01 (o2 studs broke) I think I paid 375 when I bought it 7 years ago

 

I've gotten my money's worth from mine. I got 7 years out of the first, and am about 5 years into the warranty replacement.

 

How does it sound?
My exhaust is starting to rust out, does it sound stock or louder than stock.
ive been trying to find a stock setup, haven’t done much research but not many people show what these sound like, only the guys that slap on flowmasters. I had a flow master on my old rusted 98 4runner S/C, it was loud and sounded half decent, but I wouldn’t do it again lol

 

Mine is definitely louder than stock, but a deep sound, not raspy or annoying.

 

That’s more of what I’m looking for. I don’t really mind it being louder but I didn’t like raspy sound of the flowmaster. It was deeper but still just kinda sounded like a fart from a stretched ass with a flap on it

...And with that, we'd arrived. High along the ridge of the Pueblo Mountains, the 75-year old remains of a WWII plane, that crashed on February 2, 1945 - a clear night - scattered across the landscape. Eleven crew members lost their lives. A few years ago, a group of adventure motorcycle riders placed a plaque at the site to remember the brave men who gave their lives for our country....

Getting everything ready to do my valve covers this weekend (hopefully), is there a big difference between the Toyota FIPG and Ultra Black? I won’t be able to have the Toyota FIPG here in time, and don’t wanna go to the dealer and over pay if Ultra Black will do just as well.

 

Louder than stock. But it’s a nice tone. No rasp. Not overly loud unless you step on it

 

5' bed, better. Just think, if I bobbed my bed, I could put a GFC on there, and then move it to a DCSB 4th gen in a few years...

 

Got my day planned
Taking the Icons off. (I know, lots of pre load)
Putting on new coil overs, front brakes and bump stops
Will not add that amount of pre load to the Kings

 

5spd is next on the list. Have the donor just waiting on the right time to start

 

That 1 foot really makes a difference. For trails, I'd prefer 5, but as a truck the bigger the better. It ain't really a truck if you can't lay a 4x8 sheet in it.

If you need any help, let me know I completed my a few years back

 

Awesome. I have been giving thought to getting rid of my DD corolla to find a low mile 3.4 3rd gen 4runner to be my new dd since we have a baby on the way and my wife said "YoU cAnT tAkE tHe BaBy cAmPiNg iN tHe RoCk cRaWlEr" so I plan on doing this to the 3rd gen 4runner:
