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

October 2021 [2022 oops, 2021 October] seems like a very long time ago. But, since my lead time was originally 12 months, I am thrilled that I finally have my Super Pacific X1. Now begins the work of build and then matching up suspension to have a relatively stock ride height when loaded.

 

How much do those super pacifics weigh?
Looks awesome btw.
I would recommend alcan for custom leaf springs spec'd for exactly what weight and lift you want.

 

Thanks, I was looking the Alcan information. Super Pacific says about 350lbs.

 

Gave the DT headers a quick once over, so far everything is staying tight.

 

Haltech?



Haltech!

 

I like the bug shield too. I took mine off in February after 20yrs to fix the hood and cab roof clearcoat. can't find a replacement like the Oe Toyota one from factory. your truck looks badass dude!!!

 

Here's some quick highlights from our Swamp Lake trip

Eh we’ll see if this makes it annoying enough to leave my truck alone

 

ok, not what I have done but what I want to do.

I'm looking for one of these to retro/Back to the Future out my reliable old 2003. Does anybody know the brand/type?? This guy appears to work at the local WalMart, perhaps I should leave him a note and offer an obscene amount of $$$.

 

You underestimate meth-ovation. They’re wily.

 

Replaced the throttle position sensor yesterday and gave the throttle body a good cleaning. On very rare occasions I was noticing a sudden loss of power at a little over 2000rpm. This would only happen maybe one out of 50 times when leaving my neighborhood and seemingly only in 2nd gear. Once up to speed it wouldn't happen. I tried the "pump the gas pedal 100 times" trick, and that seemed to work for 6 months or so which made me inclined to think it was a dead spot on the TPS. Once the issue came back a couple months ago I figured I'd try installing one of the Aisan TPS sensors (W0133-2744128). I was toying with the idea of buying a shiny new $450 throttle body, but frugality prevailed.

Job was pretty straightforward. I stripped the lower TPS screw even with a JIS driver and had to cut a notch into the screw and use an impact screwdriver to remove it. Took me three tries to get the TPS adjusted correctly. First was too high, second was too low, third was the goldilocks setting.

 

Planning on an easy day greasing some wheel bearings and my RCVs.

10mins after getting a wheel off....

 

F first gen frames, seriously

Spiker hood struts today

 

How’s the install on these? Looks like a great mod

 

Added this and must have gained an extra 5 BHP

 

Mounted my OVS awning just in time to provide shade at our street's block party.

 

Really easy, took about 30 minutes, I just had to buy a handheld $20 rivet gun, other than that no sweat, comes with the rivets you need in the pack

I have a '00 but the install is the same

 

Well not today but about a month ago, I jumped it and took it to Discount Tire to air up.
