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

Was throwing a p0120 code check engine light for a week or so.. 4 times I cleared it..

Replaced my TPS and so far so good.

SDTruckshop hooked it up.

I hope that was it and I wont be chasing ghosts in the machine.

Tomorrow morning they are getting some more of my business..

 

Can somebody measure the width of their bed real quick? I'm looking at a used toolbox but I'm in my wife's pathfinder.
+1 to whomever helps. Thanks!

 

Bed size is 57"on inside bedrails and 61" outside if i measured correctly

 

FWIW

I measured 57 3/16" on the inside of the bedrails and approx 61" on the outside. The latter being kind of difficult to disseminate because of the over-the-rail Line-X

 

sounds about right. I had to estimate just a bit because of the plastic bedliner I have in there.

 

Replaced plugs, cleaned MAF, cleaned throttle valve...had some carbon build up. Change oil & filter. Own truck about 3 weeks now. Air & fuel Filters were new. Transmission had been serviced. new brakes, new tires. The guy that had the truck changed the oil every 2,500 miles. He had the receipts. Drives like a new truck!! no leaks anywhere

 

BPV bracket, thanks B.A.M.F



Sanded and resprayed the front bumper.

 

Looks awesome.

What paint did you use?

 

Thanks, well it wasn't really paint it was

 

Interesting.... only sanded it (and cleaned it I assume) as prep?

And it absorbed well?

 

Nice work buddy! Im getting this done as soon as my rebuilt rear suspension is done, which should be friday.

 

Yeah, I scuffed it up really well and that was it.

 

Got my TG Front Bumper tonight!!!! Put a couple coats of Rustoleum Bedliner her and hopefully will get it installed in the morning.

Also documented my garage re-gear if anyone's interested: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...ragon-4x4-conversion-build-4.html#post5030193

 

Installed the 35"s today...

Should look nice! Looking forward to the pics.

 

SICK!!!

 

Sweet! Any side/angle shots etc?

 

hows that 4cyl handle the 35's?

 

Shitty pics, but here's the rest for now.

Actually really really well with the stock 4.30 gears. No struggling from a stop or anything. I think having a stick/manual is what saves me though.

 

I might do 33 next time, I have 32.5 or some shit ATM

I was thinking if I ever did 35 I would need to regear at least.

 

Yeah I'm definitely going with 5.29s. I'm sure 4.30s w/ 35"s would be shit when wheeling. Didn't feel as much of a difference between the 33"s and the 35"s around town as I thought I would.
