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

I wonder if putting an o-scope on the power wires would pick up the noise you're seeing. Especially if its got an FFT mode.

 

There's argument there, some say remove it, but I've always had good results with a wire wheel and or a grinder to wherever the scale had come off or rusted vs removing it completely.

I thought your ride was trashy already?

 

Hmm. There's a couple bits on the underside that are still scaley, I'll leave them that way and see how it goes.

 

The 99’s shit

The 02’s in the intestine

 

Screenshotted pictures to borrow your design. Nice work, simple clean and effective

 

Lol.

The way you talk about them sounds like they're both falling apart.

 

@JKO1998 just likes to keep people's expectations low

 

He does great at that.

 

Because of the struts???? @SpikerEng this is typical?

 

I have cruise and didn't need to do that. Unless the new extra high lift struts are different somehow, not sure if that's what he got. Mine are their standard ones I got last year

 

This little beauty showed up today. I’m thinking I’m going to weld up a mount and add it into the bed of the truck and plumb to the front and rear of the truck.

 

I didn’t have to do any relocation for my redtuning struts. I know the person I got them for has abs and cruise. Wouldn’t want him to have to move stuff around.

 

Yeah I have abs and cruise as well and didn't need to relocate anything with the Spiker ones

 

Resurrected a 97 base model from the dead ,, primer gray now and love it,,,, replaced all sensors, water, oil pump, timing all the way,, port polished head and intake,, cold air intake,, and headers with 3 in exhaust and no cat

 

I didn't have to move mine.

 

We need pics!

 

Damn Dad, I’ll do better

 

It's not typical, but some models have a taller cruise control model than others (I think it's more common for the 4 cyl models). In those cases, folks have fabricated a couple of simple brackets to move the cruise control model down about an inch:

 

First time poster.

Did a lot of mountain passes over this past summer with quite a bit of weight and 33x12.50s with stock gears. The tranny would stay round 215-220 during the steeps and every now and then creep up to 230.
Bought a Hayden cooler a few months back and had plans to put it in. As I was getting ready to put it in a couple weeks ago, something clicked in my head and I put it on hold.

I spend 50% of my time in the Truckee area during the winter and it can get pretty cold, so I started to wonder if a cooler was a bad idea when you're driving around and its 0 degrees outside.

I originally planned to put the cooler after the radiator for maximum cooling, but after thinking about winter I thought that it might make the fluid too cold and toyed around with the idea of putting it before the radiator so that the radiator can bring it up to a decent temp. However in the summer, that kind of kills the cooling that I originally wanted in the first place.

So I did some research and found the Derale Thermostat bypass and threw it in along with an inline magnet filter. Now hopefully I have the best of both worlds.
