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

Bump?

 

pics of my diff drop i copied from my build in case anyone cared.




tear i was worried about before diff drop


tear after diff drop

 

trans maybe?

 

Did it start after the new spark plugs? There are some trucks that hate those single electrodes.

 

No not really. I had a CEL before and after spark plugs, turned out to be my MAF for the CEL. It started after my intake

 

Solid motor mounts and tranny mount in

 

I assume you pulled the efi fuse for a minute after you installed the intake? Or disconnected the battery?

 

I had the battery unattached for about two hours during install so im assuming it would have reset

 

I'm not sure but I guess I would put the stock airbox on if you have it and test for the issue again.

 

bring on the vibes!

 

I was hoping to not do this but i might have to haha

 

Just to rule the intake out I probably would. Cheaper than buying parts.

 

True, imma get my cat tested for free too and see

 

They're actually not that bad unless you have the AC running

 

Yea when I fired it up I was expecting a ton. Hardly any really.

 

Oh not that much

I made a new pan hard it has 2 bends and 2 splices. I took some 1" cold rolled solid stock and turned some sleeves. So it's 1.5" .250 wall DOM sleeved with 1" sold stock Id say it's pretty damn solid.







I drilled 5/16th holes for plug welding.






Rough sanded








Driver full stuff passenger drooped out steering full passenger



Then I see this Tire rubbing lower link just before full lock and double stuffed. I guess I was right I'm not getting 50* of steering so I'll limit it with the PSC ram




Just before the stop it's about 45* now still pretty dam good.

 

I'm in love with this just released 2013 Alpine 147BT head unit ($200) that I just installed today! Details and pics of my install posted my build.

Here's the Alpine 147BT in by grubby little hands:


Here's a shot of my sweet new Alpine unit installed:


It looks like my green middle console theme is finally complete, woot!:

I can feel mine running with the stock mounts, she quivers a little at that low idle. I probably need a tune up.
