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

(Last night) Finally wired in the LED Fogs and replaced the clock with the switches for the LED Fogs and Hella 55w HIDs! It's bright!

 

Did a teeter totter

 

Your truck is so sick.

 

Took my truck in today, turns out I had a bad O-ring in my O2 sensor, causing my gas mileage to go bad. Also lost a clamp to my air intake.

Found the loud noise as well, bad rear axel bearing. $395 later, it will be good to go...Hopefully. Anything is better than 13 mpg on the highway.

 

Thanks!

 

FINALLY got new headlight assemblies and bulbs


New corners also


Went with the new Sylvania ZXE bulbs

 

Had one last trail ride with some friends before I leave New Mexico this week...

All of the pics are here...

Getting a little bit of air haha

 

Well.. I made my CEL flash..

 

What headlight housings did you go with and are they pretty quality, i bought cheap ebay ones and i got cheap ebay ones. The light is all spotty looking. Not evenly distributed.

 

I'm pretty sure that's just aftermarket for ya.. I also have cheap ebay headlights but no scatter here

 

I also got mine from eBay. the light is a tad spotty but not terrible.

 

I agree. It was bearable but retro ftw!

 

when i have money to burn, i'll probably attempt a retro-fit to the old set and if all goes well then try on the new set

 

Yeah I told myself I was going to do that too and when it came down to it... the new ones were going in the oven. Super simple. My only advice is when you crack the lenses off pull them slowly and when the sealant starts to stretch out like cheese, break them with a toothpick or something so that when they break they don't fall down onto the housing. I got a little bit on the inside and that shit would not come off so I smoothed it out and painted it

 

gotta do what you gotta do haha I actually used plasti-dip on the silver of the corners to match the grill

 

I had a missing cylinder today so I got new plugs because it had been a long time since I replaced them (Before I bought the truck). Almost bought wires at the dealership, but said, no that can't be it. :face palm: Number two cylinder wire cad come off on the plug, didn't even have any resistence when I pulled on the boot.

Waiting on the dealership to open and get a set tomorrow really isn't an option, I need to get to work.

What wires would you put on if you couldn't put on oem? And had to get them from O'rielly's or Autozone?

 

Oreilly sells import direct wires, they arnt cheap but cheaper than stealership. I think i paid $50 for mine.

 

They are the same price as the dealership. I may have to go get them. No one has the NKGs. Autozone has bosch. Never put anything other than oem on. May have to go with the import direct.

 

I ran the bosch from autozone once and i pulled one off one day and damaged it i guess, had a miss after that. Replaced them import directs and fixed it. Wont use the bosch again.

 

Thanks, seeing my choices are very limited, you just made up my mind for me.
