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

About a week, used from a TW member

 

Finally got to drive the truck today. Got everything put back together. All the lights come on like they should, it dings the way it's supposed to ding, and it turned on...

Which means I fixed the 3 wires I nicked when cutting the firewall, those were the only one I nicked, and I didn't melt any wires with any of the small fires we started in the cab when we were welding it back together...

We're winnin!

 

I was gonna tub for 37s.. I think I'll just get a new set of 35s.... Now... Should I go 17s...get bigger brakes.... Uggh.

Thing sits in the driveway

 

I’m for 17s and better brakes lol

 

Ugghh. Mo money mo money. She Is a pig when I drive her after sitting for so long. So use to the runner and her great braking. I know I should

 

The 3.4 will always be a pig lol. You are in the same boat as me, I drive my GFs second gen and it makes me not miss my heavy pig. More power and more comfortable. But then I wheel my truck and I remember why I love it.

 

Damn right

Everytime I think of selling her, I remember how fun she is sideways! Lol

 

You can fit tundra brakes with some 16s...

 

4runner brakes are slightly bigger and require 17s I believe

 

Thought Tundra brakes were the only upgrade for 1st gens

 

Thats what i was thinking. Are 13WLs not the go-to set up anymore?

 

You can get the larger 4-5th gen 4runner ones if you want. But those require 17s. Think they are close to 250mm or something. Can't remember what they are called.

 

Ripped these out yesterday and replaced them with the upgraded Denso motor west injectors. Hoping it could fix my p0300. Also replaced the fuel pressure regulator. I can’t hear the misfire anymore when starting but my CEL just came back on but now the p0300 is under pending codes and my p0420 is under stored codes. Usually it was the other way around.
Starts and runs great though.

 

This! Buddy of mine has a spare set when we where talking brakes. I know i need to upgrade. It's kinda scary driving sometimes. Lol

 

Uncle jay?

 

Lol. Not going to lie, I was thinking about him and those rope hooks while I was removing them. I try not to be OCD about my vehicles though, at the end of the day it's just a truck.

 

Pulled the trigger on a TRD supercharger woohoo. Fresh rebuild with receipts, new plugs, belts and gaskets. I guess I made my mind up and keeping the ol girl! Haha! Can’t wait for this. Perfect timing now that fuel prices have dropped substantially up here.

 

I loved mine while I had it!

 

Who has done this? And, is there a write up?

Is it just like doing the Tundra swap?

 

yeah basically. Although I think there is something more involved, i can't remember. Might have to machine something. Things are huge though. 6 piston calipers I believe. Think it was @Empty_Lord I was talking to about this maybe?
