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

got the truck back from the tranny shop! never been so happy after spending...so much money haha. its running better than before, seems a lot more responsive and torquey to me also. very happy!

 

I have ddm tuning 35w 6000k and they are ultra white with no blue...i love them...kind of hate how the bulbs have a reflector because it makes the cut off different but over all love them.

 

What install harness did you guys get for the hid conversion? Im debating making my own or buying one.

 

Did a few needed upgrades...
New blacked out headlights and blacked out/clear corners. Since I had to remove the grille to install the lights I decided to paint it black to get rid of the chrome until I can color match it red. while installing the lights I also finished the turn signal relocation into the corner marker light housings as well. I think it looks much better now!

 

hey i saw this truck early today it was right next to mine in fornt of Relentless. Nice looking truck

 

So much brighter than just stock bulbs, I don't have any projectors yet. I have 8k ones but mine aren't very blue... Really white. Got them from eBay 100 bucks after shipping from modify street

Yaaay, maintenance...

 

did you mean to pull that plug?

 

Are you insinuating that he may be actually trying to change the engine oil and accidentally drained the tranny? Why would he do that?!? He's not a 2nd gen owner!

 

Ha, I know why you ask, but yes I did. Trans fluid's pretty old.

Nice...

 

TW user ClementL21 installed a set of KC Hilites 130W long range lights on my Taco today.

 

With 285/75/16s what wheels backspace would have the least amount of rubbing issues?

16x8 with 3.6 back space or 16x8 with 4.3 back space?

This is frustrating. Pinch weld mod doesnt seem like a huge deal so I wouldnt mind doing that.

 

going to have to do the pinch weld no matter what most likely.

4'' BS on 285s is best.

between those two, the 3.6 would be the better choice.

 

yaay new tires, rims, and started satoshi grille project

 

haha well you never know.

glad to see the taco getting some lovin

 

Thanks for the response. Ive decided im just going to forget those rims altogether and go with the Pro Comp 7069s. They have one with 4" back space. So I should be good right?

 

Spent my morning working on my rig. I changed oil using synthetic Mobil 1 high mileage, oem Toyota oil filter, and installing a Fumoto F-103N drain valve. No more engine oil mess moving forward...well sort of... I still need to figure how to relocate the oil filter but I'll save that for another day!

 

Not something i did but have a question. Im going to be driving 800 miles round trip all highway and curious how many miles I can get on a tank. I have 31" tires, and a clean paper filter, 200,000, 3.4 liter, and will have a very soft foot. Oh and will be at colorado and kansas altitude Anyone have a rough estimate on mpg's or miles per tank? Thanks!

 

not sure why you want a 16'' rim though..tires be cheaper in 15s
