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

The installer told me it is okay to drive. He just told me not to take it through a car wash because the sealer has to set up and will not hold up to pressurized water. He said handwash is okay - i did not plan on washing it anyway, but had to drive home - they came to work to replace it in the parking lot.

 

understand. i don't think mine set long enough like i explained earlier and now it leaks small amounts of water on the passenger side. just have to figure out a way to fix it now

 

understandable. once you start going higher than 1, that shit gets expensive

 

...and usually hits the fan.

 

haha thats what i do! a week ago i was up till 3 am doing home work and looked outside and saw a fresh blanket of snow on the ground and said hell, i love driving in it, im up, and its going to melt by tomorrow after noon. so might as well go have some fun and make fresh tire tracks in the new snow. too bad it wasnt much and i didnt really get to play around in it like i hoped.

 

Put some AVS ventshades on the drivers and passenger side. I love it.

 

Gapped all my new spark plugs (

$18 Denso K16TR11 Spark Plugs, Pack of 4

Denso K16TR11) for tomorrow. For some reason they were all around .032?

 

That's around what my NGK's were at when i got them a couple weeks ago

 

Hmm I thought I remembered them supposedly being pre-gapped to .044? And that's why we always check our spark plug gap children.

 

Taco owners lesson of the day Now it's recess! go beat your junk up for half an hour and then get yo butts back to class

 

New altenator.

Taco amazes me. Battery light comes on. 7 miles later turn signals, tach, stereo, and thermostat turn off. Headlights/taillights dim. Bout 10 miles later headlights and tail lights turn off. 5 miles later I decide I'm done gambling and pull over. Ingenous little system to conserve power

 

any pics? And how do they go on?

I would love some, becuase I like having my window down, but when it starts raining it seems like our trucks are made to channel the water right in your lap

 

I love my window vents. I've got the AVS that just tape on the exterior (previous owner installed) -- Nothing better than a little fresh air when it's raining.

 

Are the window vents at O'Reilly Autoparts any good? Thought about ordering a set from there...

 

They're my favorite mod that I have done Ti my taco I always love the fresh air

 

What is this crap?! 3 pages with no actual picture updates!!

 

put in my light switches

painted rock sliders

painted the grill

just washed her yesterday

 

When I bought my last set, I opened every box at the parts counter. I rejected 2 plugs because the grounds were not even centered on the electrode. But the set of six I ended up with were all dead on .043. So that's the next lesson; look before you leave (assuming you don't buy them online).

 

Looking gooooooooood!!!

 

I like that rack..what kind is it and where did you get it?
