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

Were those wet okle seatcovers a mint to buy? I gotta get some of those...

 

I get 18-20 mpg. But I'm running a stock V6 :X

 

If it doesnt rotate fairly easily is probably the caliper
(depending on how drooped your suspension is the CV's may bind a little bit so keep that in mind) Other than binding I have never seen a Cv cause the problem, doesnt mean it can't. Usually when the caliper sticks its because its frozen and you need to replace it. With core charge is probably like $20 or so. If you slam your brakes does the wheel jerk to one side? That can be one sign of a frozen caliper.

 

Picked up a hijack lift for 50 dollars!

 

Sweet looking!

You should dye your transfer case shift knob too, IMO

 

I'm just using duplicolor truck bedliner in a spray can, I've only found it at Napa here in town. It seems to work really good just wipe the nozzle every bit with a paper towel as you're spraying. I do 3-4 coats on everything and it's help up insanely good. I was really suprised for 7 bucks a can! I'd recommend this. http://image.popularhotrodding.com/...1150157+cr1+re0+ar1/dupli-color-bed-liner.jpg

Hope this helps!

 

That's possible?!? I wasn't sure if the dye would work on that little guy! Madjik, you are a bearer of GOOD news! I will def dye the little knob then! Thanks, man!

 

Yup, works great on it.

 

i spy a mustang sweet rides what year is it

 

dude, your rakin bad!!!!

 

shouldn't be the suspension, replaced it all a few months ago. I'll have go take it in to go them to check out the calipers.

any suggestions on new calipers? and/or discs?

 

thats crazy i get over 300 per tank always...my k1500 with a 350 get 11mpg and 16 or so on the road..im running 35psi in the michelins but i think im about to jack it up to about 60 or so and see if i can get a few more mpg out of a gallon of gas

 

the light blue looks like a 73 because its bright around the headlights..the fastback cant tell because there is no grille to look at and no trunk like to see if it has mustang script or individual block letters so its a toss up of anywhere between 71-73

 

I used the napa ones. They dont have a core charge on them sadly, a buddy who works at toyota says his location has switched to using the NAPA ones because they last longer than the stock ones without freezing up.

 

Checkin out my lights & Went to the mountain

 

Good call

Blue one is a 73 mustang hatchback. Basic restoration with a 305 v8 just for the owners wife and kids to drive.

The one with all the body off(getting painted) is a BEAST. 600+hp outa a stroked and bored 351 Cleveland. It's a 71 Boss 351 mustang.

I don't own either or even the building. It my good friends and he is a classic ford guy. Drives a tundra tho he is a motor head and I'm very grateful I get to use his large shop and tools.

There is also a rare 72 Fairlane in there with the 7.0l v8 and an auto tranny AND soft top. Very cool cruiser car.

The truck isn't his, he just stores it for a friend. It's sick though very clean has a 426 mercury motor in it that is gorgeous. Everything is all tucked. Show truck for sure. Not sure on year..think it's around 50-53

 

45acp and I were cursing you, and your accommodations, when it was 1am, 15 degrees outside and we're working half in my tiny garage and half in my driveway with headlamps and flashlights.

 

Lol yea between that shop and my dads woods shop..I e got just about everything

 

So I have a $70 Amazon gift card to spend... The question is, what the heck should I buy for my truck!??

 

Led's in dash. Did mine. And I love it
