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

3-4 years? I think trying to air up more than just my truck over the years did it in. It’s so slow! I’m looking at all the options

 

That was me. I stuffed my twin compressor in the passenger side cubby hole

 

Dude, do you have pictures?

 

not very good ones!
Used cheap harbor freight hose as a temporary until I worked everything out. After inflating tires a couple of times, I’d recommend using at least a foot long chunk of stainless line before you go to something else, because the hose gets quite warm right out of the compressor.you can see 2 of the 4 holes I drilled in this picture. The floor is uneven and it was a bit of a chore trying to figure out where I could actually physically get a drill, versus where the compressor had to set to leave room between it and the wall of the cubby. Since the floor isn’t level all the way across where the compressor had to sit, I bought some bolts and jam nutted the bolts onto the floor to where that side of the compressor was supported. That way it’s not bouncing and doesn’t bend the floor. Probably not necessary, but gave me piece of mind.

Edit:

I also ran an air fitting to the front bumper

 

I used a harbor freight compressor for a while and it was half an hour to go from 5-35 psi on 285/70/17’s. With my twin compressor setup, it’s down to under 10 minutes.

 

installed a powered tail gate lock...

 

its a color issue. the halogen yellow cuts through better (at least for my blind ass)

 

How's the rebuild going?

 

Congrats that’s a sweet truck! Are you from the cape or just the truck?

 

You got some more details on this?

 

No money no problem






OHV use only

 

sell the ford and you'll find you've actually got alot of money. that truck just takes it all

 

21k mi in the last year and it hasn't needed any repairs
Never made it that far in the Tacoma

 

judging by your tires, im surprised you made it at all!

 

I actually put those on last year. The Trepadors are super soft and wear like erasers on the road. They probably have 8k max on them.

 

You should see the videos of what I drove through with those tires

 

Agree. I have my deep yellow fog lights that help a ton. And I far prefer the 3500 to 4000k light of a halogen in rain and snow. Damn LEDs just suck for adverse weather, feels like all that hyper white light just bounces back at you and makes things blurry.

 

I’m half way through my 4 week work rotation, so I haven’t touched it.

 

Been living on the cape my whole life.
