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

I bought Denso V-power... read up on these forums about what plugs were the best, decided to go with whatever was closest to OEM.

 

Not sure what the heck I'm looking at in the pic, but...

How about those clear plastic discs that they use to protect Cds? or maybe even cd jewel cases?

 

Received my 4runner hvac panel...or at least I though. Wtf is this? Lol. 20% restocking fee on this bastard too.

 

Installed specter cold air intake today

 

yeah it did. 3 sanding steps with spray lube, a buffing compound, then a clear finishing layer.

 

painted the wheels graphite duplicolor, tires on and balanced

 

Would look even better with projectors hehe

 

no doubt!
Plus I noticed theres some dust/ sand inside the lights so I either need new housings, or to take apart these and clean/ black them out.

 

Is there any way to get rid of hazing from debadging?

 

around where the badges were? Maybe a Clay bar since its probably deposits left around the badge. Then a wax after Clay bar. That should probably do it id imagine. Of course if the paint is faded around the badge and darker where the badge was, theres nothing you can do about that.

 

I took my catalytic converter removed and got a flow master 40 put on sounds great, and plasti-dipped the front bumper, door handles and some trim pieces

 

rotated tires and re-torqued the wheel spacers.....

 

Yeah I know it does it really feels the same to me and it's better in the highway, I have a four banger. Torque wise it feels exactly the same

 

Yeah without the cats on the 3.4 it makes a big difference, my four banger pretty damn quick you wouldn't think it's one until you heard the top end lol

 

new tires on.
New


Vrs. Old

 

Xterrains?^^

 

Yea the price was right lol

 

Brand new or used? Ha

 

Less than 1000 miles on them 5 for 700 so not to bad.

 

I'm jealous you got a good deal!!! I paid 1grand for four km2s new :O
