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

Uws tool box

 

True, but the majority of the Kobalt boxes are lower quality. UWS is better but carries a hefty price.

Sweet, I like what you did with the decals too. How is the lid bent? These are supposed to have a more sturdy lid on them.

 

I'm not sure, I've tried adjusting the handles but haven't messed with it much. Handle adjustment could be off or bent.

 

You can adjust the strikers on right? (the metal latch things on the lid)
Have you tried doing that?

 

In the little fuse box. Not the 60 amp

 

I just found my old post. My code was P 1135. Upstream ( pre-cat ) sensor took care of it.

 

Got new tires and rims!

I'm ready to do some CV boot bands.

 

Lookin good!

 

I have the same code. No idea the issue either. But when I clear it, the truck runs like pure shit. Stumbles, misses, pops, etc..... Then after about a mile, it stops, and runs fine. The code usually comes back in about 30min as well.

 

Relocated rear shocks basically copying Boxrocket, installed an extended rear brake line, and put new fluid in the rear diff.

 

I dont know much about shock locations, what is the advantage of mounting the shocks like this vs. Stock?

 

One thing i should warn you is inspect the nuts before you replace the o2 sensors. My truck has seen 18 years of winters on salted roads. when i replaced mine one of the nuts crumbled into rust when i turned it. Luckily i had the exact size to replace it. I believe they are 12mm, not sure

 

That's what I meant by adjusting the handles. Messed with it a little bit a while back, but I could probably spend some time on it more and get it better aligned if it's not truly bent.

 

It keeps the shocks from over extending at full droop, allows for the installations of a u-bolt flip kit, and by moving them closer to the center of the axle you can run a shorter shock and actually gain travel.

 

i have the p0420 code also.

when i bought the truck i knew the code was there and thought it would be an easy fix. well when i went to replace the o2 sensors my upstream sensor has a diamond shaped flange with 2 bolts welded and coming threw the flange... well one of those bolts was completly GONE! yikes! so i just did a temp fix and tied wire threw the holes to tighten the o2 sensor down, it worked until i got it properly fixed by drilling out the old hole on the flange and welding a new bolt in.

well i hoped that would have fixed the code... but it didnt, so now im in the same boat of having to change my CAT buttttt im a broke joke and cant afford the 400 master muffler quoted me.

worst part is my gas mileage went from 300/tank to 220/tank

HORRIBLE! I NEED MONEY TO FIX IT NOW

 

Get a urd o2 sensor delete

 

please elaborate? i dont know what this is. also would this still pass inspection? utah has pretty harsh emissions testing

 

Hmm well its a little sensor thst plugs in to the cord under your seat and it makes it so the code never shows again. Not sure if it passes emissions dont have to till October
