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

Ha, yeah I noticed the spring and contact. Almost lost it the first time. I took it apart again today but didn't see anything wrong. I disconnected the battery for 20 minutes and started it up again and everything is fine now.

 

Deck plate mod and ISR mod... WOW! the sound difference is amazing. around 3k rpm's+ the v6 gets nasty. Very happy, now just looking at exhaust. Anyone got any feedback with Thrush mufflers?

 

Yeah I saw that you had them, they look really good! I really like that flex shot of the left rear stuffed you put in your build. Great shot of the wheel

 

This one!

 

This may be a dumb question but I have no clue what a ISR is.

 

Intake silencer removal. I think.

 

Finally installed my hitch Sunday.

It tucked away very nicely.


Transferred the backup lights from my homemade brackets to the hitch, which is what they were originally designed for.



I'll do the taillight converter and 7 pin wiring next weekend. The trailer will have a deep cycle battery, so I need to run power all the way from the front of the truck. I don't need trailer brakes for the new trailer I'll be picking up in a few weeks, but I will be installing all the wiring and circuit breaker (but not the actual controller) at the same time so that if/when I need trailer brakes in the future, it will be much quicker to just add the controller.

 

Thanks man had Em for about 4 years now haha

 

Finished "Project Taco Facelift". Added lower skidplate to go along with the lower and upper billet grilles.



Had new deck installed complete with bluetooth, xm radio tuner, HD radio, and usb and auxillary inputs. Also streams music from smartphones using bluetooth.

 

Got a new U-Joint in yesterday and just drove it today.

 

As you can see I have already moded the seat some on the top. I reduced the top of the seat with some safety pins(3inches).






I had the dealer install leather for me when i bought the truck(2004) but its starting to look like crap. The seatcovers fit good on the bottom, the top needs some work. I am loving the perforated leather, not nearly as hot as my old leather. Hope this helps some.

 

Cool thanks man! Looks good. They look a lot more snug then I thought they'd be at that kinda price. I see what you mean, so all you plan to do now is just sew them up for they fit like a glove?

 

How hard is it to fix the headrest holder. Just broke mine!!

 

I'm gonna see if home economics stuck with me any!

 

Bout to install this and see if its worth the hype

 

It's on boys. Get your skid plates!

This sure is coincidental timing for that skid plate. I just found out mine was stolen yesterday!

But yesterday i pulled both cv's, both front coilovers, an oil change and a re-greasing of the driveline. Today I smashed a finger, got the cv's connected to the front diff, attached the top of the coilovers to the support, and left my truck sitting on jack stands because i need to replace the lower control arm bolt on both sides. All in all. fairly productive

 

That sucks man. The oem ones must be pretty nice.

 

shit. theres atleast 30 hormel chilli cans worth of tin on that thing right?

Question about your skids that you may or may not know. Would it be able to matched to a Bud Built skid belly pan later on with just some drilling of holes? Ad im assuming it just uses stock mounting points from the oem skid?

 

Plasti dip grill, OME lift, and tires in about 2 weeks...
