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

The equivalent of them are the coil insulators, every autozone only has one to my knowledge

 

Damn. Just weird that they crapped out just like that. Haven't really been driving her

way to rub it in. Lol

Ill check that. But i dont recall a relay on these.

 

Here’s all that came with mine besides the stuff for the demon eyes & switchback Halos.
I’ve had to replace this moto control & 1 ballast. But replaced both ballasts at the same time. This was 3 years ago and has been fine ever since. Knock on wood!
I notice that they don’t do good with a lot of vibration aka off roading
Although @Uphillshunter might disagree
Hope you get it all figured out bro!

 

Anyone need a rear brake line? I've got a brand new, unused, one that's 19" long that is yours for the price of shipping (small flat rate box) - so on the order of $10. this is a stainless steel line from LCE that came with their tundra hard line kit. Part of the reason that kit is such a waste of money (says the guy selling cheaper kits) ...

Just a heads up - you probably know this already, but the sensors on the MAF that need to be cleaned (the most) are inside the plastic bit. Shine a light down there and you'll see two thin wires. That's where the real sensing happens. Of course, it's also good to clean the resin covered sensor as well.

 

Yeah took me a bit to just figure that out. This MAF sensor is different than the one on my 98

 

Changed my valve covers thanks to the guide on this website!

 

It’s hard to see lol but there ya go

 

Changed the LBJ’s (oem), Carrier bearing (spicer), Oil and stole 1 plug wire off the 99 to get the 02 back to 100%.

Next is the trans mount, new plugs and wires and a new face.

 

Welp...when i offroad....i offroad. Lol. Im over these. Just ordered lights. I have light bars for dark back roads

 

I'll buy it from ya!

 

Made progress on my bedslide today. Got the walls all made up and coated nicely...

 

did some moderate to light engine bay cleaning, until my neck got snappy and crapped out
used 303 spray stuff and a green microfibre towel to get all the sides i could reach

it seems to be an excessive amount of dirt in there!
perhaps its because my area is teetering on drought conditions so lots of dust from the fields blowing around
or! its the mysterious disappearance of the engine bay rail weather strippings about 18 months ago that have not yet been replaced as new to keep the xtra dirt and water out of the topside

Spark plug #3. How does it look

 

Looks like it’s missing an electrode

Spark plug debate incoming...

Edit: didn’t realize you were a 4banger. Carry on...

 

Mine are done, working, no problems.

 

That’s what I meant. Plus I see you mobbing at the mall every weekend Jk.That with all of the vibration from off roading. It doesn’t seem to be affecting yours at all. So maybe that’s not @Fernando problem

 

Ooh...low blow. Lol

 

I take it back! I take it back!

 

Changed all four plugs out for some NGK iridiums. Just did a pull up and down the freeway up to 95 miles per hour n no more misfiring. Can't believe an AutoZone employee tried telling me it was the ignition coil when it really was a spark plug LOL

 

And just as a word of advice if anybody has issues with getting the spark plugs out after they've been loosened up there was a time where spark plug number two and number one would not come out and I had to take the ignition coil and use it as a plunger to pull it out
