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

its not as bad as it seems in your head. Everything is accessible without dropping the tank or removing the bed, so that’s a plus. Just the area you have to be in to do the job is what sucks. Lol

 

I have a double cab...so I have to drop the tank haha

Gotta find one first. Did you use a new one? or a junk yard one like ryan?

 

I made a fairing to help with drag from my rack and tent from 1’ x 4’ x 1/4” ABS sheet, cheap and has held up very well for over 5 years. I welded square tubing to my rack and used rubber standoffs and thin aluminum strips to mount it- very rigid. You could do something similar if you’re willing to put holes in your shell to mount something to, I don’t see any other way in all likelihood than drilling holes.I ditched the cabinet bumpers and put a gasket on it pretty quick.

I made the mistake of making it too tight to my roof so when I had large lumber loads on my rack you could hear the gasket squeaking back and forth and when I hit a bump it made the roof buckle. I removed my rack recently and the paint had been worn along where the gasket was contacting so a lesson that less is more and I should have clearanced it a while ago. I don’t really care at this point, I’ve used the truck heavily for 17 years so the paint is not a big concern.

 

Can't go in through the rear seat like a 4Runner, huh? That's too bad.

 

Free 95.5 -00 hood to anyone who wants it. In decent shape just paint chips and clear coat pealing

located in San Diego but I travel to La and Phoenix regularly



Figured I’d give someone on here a shot before throwing it on CL

 

I used a new one. I tried one from Amazon and it quit after just a few months so I bought an OEM one from Toyota.

I have a DC as well, I’ve never dropped the tank to replace the charcoal canister.

 

hell no.

hmm i'll have to look again. Sure doesn't look like Id be able to get to it.

Well I have to by new motor mount anyways so..fuck it. OEM it is. Lasted 255k.

 

look through the driver since rear fender well, you can get to the bolts and hose clamps through there.

 

lol yeah..idk if my arms and big ass hands will fit in there. Will find out! Thanks for the tips.

 

Finally joined the New Weatherstrip Club.

 

You got some mad skills

 

285s on 16s with 4.5 back spacing

 

Just add a Prinsu rack and let that deflect some air!

 

How dare you...

 

I’ve done the canister without dropping the tank…

 

Clean looking truck

 

I thought about that but there craze expensive and the whole putting holes in the roof thing. And I wasn't sure were the best place to have the deflector.

 

Anyone know what the CC flow of the 1995-2000 brown 3RZ injectors are versus the 2001-2004 pink 3RZ injectors? I’m having a tune put on the truck for my supercharger with an AEM FIC. Not sure if I should stick with the stock fuel injectors, or go bigger aftermarket.

My setup does about 5 PSI max with a 7.5 PSI pulley.

 

Brown 295
Pink 330
