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

Perfect, looks like they're off by about an 1/8", easy enough to correct for that. Appreciate the info!

 

Today was a day of fixing and installing.
1) Found a crack in the frame at alignment shop and had that fixed.
This was done by previous owner and I never noticed it. But my alignment caster nut was also a little metal tab that was sheered off during some insane off road incident. That was also welded on.

2) Installed hood struts

3) Remove Cipher racing seats and installed Corbeau suspension sport seats.

4) Added Scan Gauge mount and scan gauge to the truck dash

 

Looking good. Those seats look really comfy. What is your scangauge monitoring, what is TRA and MAE?

 

Wikipedia has the explanation:

Chinglish is slang for spoken or written English language that is either influenced by a Chinese language, or is horribly translated.[1] In Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong and Guangxi, the term "Chinglish" refers mainly to Cantonese-influenced English. This term is commonly applied to ungrammatical or nonsensical English in Chinese contexts,

 

those were not very well written. Must have been a 2nd grader with no understanding of English or a Tacoma. If Tacoma's were selling for $500.00 dollars, I'd own 3 or 4 of them.

 

Transmission Temp and Mass Air Flow

 

If you could, maybe in a couple weeks hit us with a little review of the seats? Deciding on these and trail cats.

 

Will be sure to update how the Corbeau seats hold up
I just posted the cipher seats for sale

Reported for eroticism.

 

Didnt notice until way too late (after removing the left LBJ) that I got sent 2 right side LBJs. Oh well, thats a project for next week or two, maybe I'll do upper ball joints too while I'm at it.

Got my MOOG LCAs on at least, and hopefully can finally get the long-awaited alignment on Monday.

 

@YotainOregon

that's a sweet ride. very nice. what engine does it have. I really dig the older cars and trucks. Of course my favorites are the 60's muscle cars, but that Chevy coupe is bad to the bone.

 

Pulled the bed. Going into the shop on mon for fram plating and shock relocation.

 

It’s a built 350

 

On my way to go pickup Tacoma #3…

 

Hoarding, level 10.

 

ROFL, no kidding! I'd have an offroad one, an exo-caged rock crawler, a 2JZ one, an LS swap, a turbo 2RZ, a fully built N/A 2RZ, a beater for Home Depot trips...etc. etc.

 

Sounds like a short trip

 

I replaced my ac compressor, expansion valve, drier, and every single O-ring in the system. I then vacuumed out the system, noticing way too late that the worthless ac gauges I got from autozone do not read vacuum... Anyhow, I figured I would try to charge the system and the low pressure shot way up, compressor never started, thus the high pressure side stayed low. Anyone in here have expertise with automotive AC systems? Here is what the gauges are reading...please excuse the crappy autozone gauges.
