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

I've replaced everything else as well. The light came on once before so I cleaned it. It came on again & I could almost watch the gas needle move.

I'm probably going to Seafoam it & either clean or replace the plugs (again) to be safe.

 

Nope because it doesn't read anything that you need. IMO the two most important gauges that you need for a s/c is AFR and Boost. The ultragauge only reads what is going to the OBDII port. Out of that little list you made, I don't think it reads any of those because there are no sensors for those things on our trucks.

 

At the very minumum you need an AFR gauge. Only thing the ultragauge can read are the things normally read by the ECU. The taco has a narrow band 02 sensor. You need a wideband.

 

This is what I did to my taco today

 

265/75R16 Duratracs will be on my truck Monday!

 

Did brakes and rotors today ready to start pulling the boat now!

 

With your rear icons, was one longer than the other?

 

It should be... All shocks for us usually need to be that way.

 

Yup! I believe passenger is longer than driver.

 

For OEM yes but if your fabbing your own mounts I don't really understand the different lengths

 

Had them built before I decided to mount them that way.

 

Replaced my VSV canister (solenoids included) and back-up light switch.

Old Vs New


See the crack in the old one


Old Vs New Switch


About 30 mins of troubleshooting, although the books says to check the canister first, I didn't want to pull it out until I had to. Then 10 mins to replace it and 2 mins to replace the back-up switch.

 

Bought a trail gear skid transfer case and some frame boxing from a great Tacomaworld member! Still brand new in box! Can't wait to get them mounted and painted.

 

I took a vid of my steering rack.
Could this movement be the cause of my random steering wheel vibration? Is this a problem at all?

Your rack is nice and tight. Check u joints. They can sometimes cause vibrations in the steering.

 

I got vibrations after my lift, my diff. drop got rid of almost all of them.

 

Got a light rack from another member on here and threw my LED up top, more pics in a bit

 

Looks good, how much does the cab block the light?

 

I'll let you know when it gets dark out in about 30mins

 

Picked up a new slim line low pro truck box from wally world after looking for one in black all over the world with no luck.
