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

I didn't use a font. I started with a vector of the modern "Toyota" text logo, and modified it to be just like the decals on our trucks. The Y is quite a bit different and there is a radius on most of the corners. The spacing is not quite even either, but I wanted mine to be as close to the original as possible. I can send you my file I made, if you want.

 

Been a long time since I’ve been on here, and spent the last year playing with this. Figured I’d share and get back into the mix!

 

It's so clean, details on the work

 

Thank you! Just a hobby, time, and $$! Interior was in pretty good shape when I got it, exterior not so much.

 

Thanks! Same goes for your rig, well done sir.

 

One of these things is not like the other! Cylinder 3 misfire, gummed up cat, and slow coolant leak for the past few months. Good to confirm the bad head gasket, but word to the wise, don't break the tip off your plastic timing chain dampers/guides unless you want to take an extra few days on a weekend job waiting for more parts to get in!

 

Also, anyone else work out of their first gens? I bet I win the award for worst gas mileage round here! Cheers

 

Had a pretty good day out in the woods. First real shake down of the twin cases and LT.

Nothing failed...

Well, nothing on the truck failed

 

Was a good day in the woods though. Hanging out with @essjay @silvertep @Sparky 97Runner @ssd_dan @realsystem and friends from 4x4 in motion and High Sierra Krawlers.

Use mine to haul 200gal of water a lot. It's a work out for sure. Haha

Idk I think my worst mpg is 4 or less maybe..

 

You've got me beat!

 

I like the placement of the auxbeam! Been debating there, or up on top of the dash, but I think my mind is made up.

 

Pulled my throttle body and MAF off and gave them a good cleaning. They were filthy. Ordered a pre filter for my snorkel to hopefully cut back on dust getting by the air filter. But it was a noticeable difference after on the throttle response.

 

Finally got my Pro Comp 69's on. Barely hits the fender liner at full lock, but mine needs to be tightened back up anyway.

 

Until you start flexing when you’re out wheeling!

 

Found an upper and lower plenum intake for cheap which I plan on either doing some kind of paint or maybe micro polish? Decisions..

 

I think you've got a problem if you're only getting 4mpg when hauling less than a ton. Some of builds in here have added more weight than 200 gallons of water.

Think I avg 14 on the interstate.

 

Started down a rabbit hole

 

Where’d ya get the amber blinkers?

 

Looks better than my rustoleum solution to the same. Except you still got a lil chrome there (grille)

Mines the same color as yours, can’t decide if I want a mustache on mine or not (bug shield). It’s got sideburns on the passenger windows, but none on driver. I need to even out by adding or removing. Haven’t decided which.
