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

Sprayed my mud flaps with some Rust-Oleum's Trim & Bumper Paint cause they were getting oxidized...didn't bother masking the 4WD off and just sprayed over them:

 

Yup once I get the other video of me climbing outa that hole ill post it

 

Long time viewer, first time poster

Put some mud flaps on and put my new gear shift indicator led in

 

Sweet. I might look into one of them

 

I think this is the same thing ill do. Except I don't have Pokemon cards to use so index cards will have to do haha

 

Some front tint action.


I had them match the fronts to the existing back tint


I can't wait to get new rims/tires. It looks funny with the stocker setup.

 

15 minutes of fun. 5 years of crap falling in your eyes whenever you get under your truck.

 

I plur deh durped my badges.

Why they put chrome badges on a silvery/gold truck is beyond me

Contemplating powdercoating my rims for the exact same reason.

And I put in MT-90 in my tranny, soooooo much smoother shifts. I'm a happy camper.

next up, diffs and t-case

 

If not longer

 

I bought some 6.5" polk speakers, anyone know where I can get an adapter plate to fit the 6.75" holes in the rear?

Or maybe a right up to make my own?

 

Gave it a much needed bath after a couple days in the hills, odds are it will be dirty again by tomorrow. So hard to keep my truck clean this time of year

 

Thinking of going back to a 32" tire after a 3 hour drive on the interstate. I now have no power and get 15mpg with my current 33" tire.

 

I get 15 MPG with 32inch tires

 

2.7 or 3.4? With 32" tires I got between 17-18 mpg and it seemed like I had quite a bit more power.

 

i get nearly 30 with stock 2nd gen take off wheels/tires

 

This is with your regular cab 4x4? I find 30 a little hard to believe. My truck is also a double cab automatic with 4.56 gears so that doesn't help with gas mileage. I think the 2.7L is only rated for 17 city and 21 highway.

 

yes..i have a 5spd 2.7 4x4. where i live is completely flat so that helps a lot. i normally get 26 mpg going about 75 if i slow it down to 60ish it really goes up to 28-29ish

 

My pops has the 2.7 with stock everything and a 5 speed and the best I have ever gotten was when I drove to idaho at 65mph and got 21.6 mpg..

 

I think you're doing the math wrong. Props if that's true, but I highly doubt it...

 

Do tailights from an 01-04 fit an 2000? I like the look of them better.
