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

They boost fine. Well actually.

I want a turbo as well. But might skip it for just more displacement..

 

I just finished up removing the front OEM grill, repositioned the front AC line, and relocate one of the horns in order to mounted a new B&M 70264 SuperCooler automatic transmission cooler on my taco. I bypassed the radiator's built in trans cooler to avoid the dreaded "Pink Milkshake" that seems to be a common issue with the 3rd gen 4runners, but less with the 1st gen tacos.

B&M 70264



Transmission lines installed to cooler



Grill back on, no interference, clean install, time to get a cool drink and prepare for another transmission oil drain and fill and call it a day.



More info on how I installed this puppy on my build HERE

 

theres a guy from pueblo with a turbo on a 5vz in a runner. truck runs good

 

I'm sure they would make fun of my lights 2 if they saw them

 

Worked on my steering rack again...to fix this...
The cross member - note that the metal on the frame has bent, but not the bolt, as shown in the photo.


But there was something else too... can you guess.


The heavy corrosion that was hidden by bondo and paint.
Guess I will be calling the RACK DOCTOR.com on Monday about this.
I will not go off-roading with something was fixed to look good outside, but looking like that on the underside.
It would be a matter of time for it to have a catastrophic failure.

Anyways - we got the truck rolling again and monday off to get it aligned - - again.

 

When did u get the rack installed I'm in need of R&P and was considering rackdoctor

 

Would swampers work as an everyday tire

 

If you're traveling through the swamp sure ha don't want to put a lot of mileage on them at constant high speeds

 

Well I drive 120 miles a day mostly interstate

 

Then no

They'll last a month

Depending on which ones you get

Everyone loves to run swampers here
Nobody wheels them
They're all bald
They're all loud as fuck
They ride like shit

But they're sweet on the rocks.

 

Case and point

Someone just drove by my house with wide swampers

And by my house I mean the nearest road by my house
1/2 mile away

 

Oil change and air filter change (with genuine Toyota filters).
Sea Foam treatment via pcv line.

I must be doing something right...

 

Not really

 

I need some help deciding on tires then

 

What have i done with my tacoma today? i bought it


gonna try the 4WD and locker tomorrow, and a oil change sometime soon.

 

Awesome! Congrats!

 

U gna let me test drive it when u come to MS
