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

Haha yes well I'm making a bpv bracket as we speak and my 4.5 inch daystar bumpstops are on order. Been riding without shocks for the past couple weeks and haven't had a bpv bracket since I lifted the rear about 5 months ago not that the ride has been all that bad actually

Also have a stainless steel brake line from all pro that I'm going to try install sometime this week.

Probably should of done all this right after the lift but at least it's getting done now

 

For whoever is thinking about swapping their yellowish stock headlight bulbs...

Bpv

 

Rman, what lenses are you using? Looks good thank

 

Thanks man! They're Black ANZO headlight assemblies. Scored em off Amazon for $30 and they were in brand spankin' new condition. I think these are the same as some sold on ebay.

truck looks great man! love the wheel/tire combo

 

all pro uniball UCA's and a steel braided rear brake line from AP. My stock one is a bit...taught...at full droop w/ the wheelers 5 packs, AAL, and the 5100's.

Also have a K&N FIPK/CAI on the way...even though I hate K&N filters.

I found a dryrot crack in my stock intake bend/tube after the MAF...and I dont feel like half assing it.

I will just run the K&N filter w/ a UNI foam pre filter. took keep all the FL sugar sand dust out.

 

Did this

 

If you change your dash lights make sure and get the ones with the colored condom over the light, I changed mine to blue (one was burnt out) and in about 2 months they turned to white/clear...I presume the coloring burned off on the inside.

 

I hope a got the right ones! I got these for the dash lights :

Your LEDs should be fine.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to incadescent bulbs

 

I heard that in other states, all ya gotta do is pass a smog test. Gotta love the Virginia Communistwealth- I mean, Commonwealth.
We're going to redo everything that we figure needs it- gonna inspect everything thoroughly, do both a leakdown and compression test, etc. Considering the condition of the rest of the truck, it'll probably need a lot of work, but keeping my fingers crossed.

 

yeah it would suck to get it all together to discover a rod knock (bad rod bearing). I would at least pull the bearing caps off the lower end to inspect the bearings.

 

Right, I'd hate to throw a rod and screw up the whole shebang because I didn't bother to check when I had the chance! We are going to go through the whole thing, because like I said, with the rest of the truck being in such crappy condition, it wouldn't surprise me if it had bad bearings or something along that line.

 

Had the Tacoma fully detailed and saw it drive off this morning............with its new owner behind the wheel. *sigh*



Already miss her!!! Onto the next one....

 

Damn, cleanest 95 I've even seen. Miss seeing it around here.
