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

I just put some new plugs and wires in about a month ago so that may be it, ill make sure to check it, Thanks

 

Just traded my front bumper I had 80 bucks in for an arb bumper. Just gotta make a new bracket for it

 

Here's what mine look like:

One LED, one standard.



Both LED's. The passenger side looks blue-ish in the picture, but it doesn't look like that in person. I think it was just the angle of the picture or something like that. They are both a soft blue/white color.

 

ok...mine looks like this but you can deff notice it in person. left is blue right is white

 

Sea Foam! Neighbor came over with a hose because he thought there was a fire

Plasti dip'd my door handles and my new map lights too

 

Notice any difference before/after the SeaFoam?

 

I hate toyota 3.4s for this reason. I have done them in my 4 runner and tacoma. My tacoma is showing check engine and saying multiple missfire. But i dont feel any major missfires. Your best bet is to hook up a good scanner and find out witch cylinder if missfiring then switch coils and re scan.

 

Anyone know the best way to get a stripped nut off? I was trying to take the thermostat housing off and the last nut (closest to the water pump) stripped. It's a 12mm nut and it's not too hard to get to but it is hard to get vice grips or any tool other than a socket. I was thinking about going to walmart tomorrow and buying either "Gator Grip" or "Irwin Bolt Grip Sockets". Anyone have any better ideas or tools that work for loosening a 12mm stripped nut?

 

These sockets work quite well.

If you can't get it with that, it probably means cutting the head of the bolt off and extracting the rest of the bolt either with a vice grip or by drilling out the center and unscrewing it with an easy-out.

Edit: If its just a nut, the sockets still work, but you could also use a dremel to cut through the side and pop it with a punch.

 

rode in a 2nd gen 4runner today and decided I want 4 runner seats with the heaters now...

 

what year did they come heated?

 

His was an 06, looking for a write up now haha

 

I'm crazy enough to do it again, this time laying Dynamat in my Dad's truck

 

That's on my list of stuff to do.. How much do all the materials cost?

 

..and tearing that shitty protecto wrap off. Stuff is a pain in the arse

 

$135 for 36 square feet. You'll need probably 50 sq. ft. to do an adequate job

 

Right on thanks. My to do list is longer than a CVS receipt

 

You along with everyone else on this forum has that

 

^This, and a new CEL code for cylinder misfire doubt it was the sea foam though

 

I did seafoam....didnt see a difference lol
