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

I can see the ice scraper helped.

 

See any ice on the windows? I don't think so! ya he was pretty desperate haha he gave up after a couple hours of digging and called me

 

That's dope man. You make that yourself? I like how it pretty much lines up with the line on the rest of the truck

 

T4R sliders!

 

You think you could shoot me a pm on a price?

 

Nice...

 

Sent!

 

My googling sucks and now I'm more confused than I was before. Surprise!

Soon after I bought the truck, I changed the spark plugs in Oct '09. I pulled them today after the engine had around 50k miles on them. They don't look like they've worn down much in that time, but I can't seem to find what the max allowable gap is? Also I now realized these are plugs (

$18 Denso K16TR11 Spark Plugs, Pack of 4

Denso K16TR11 dual-electrode) for the 3.4L, not my 4 banger (supposed to be

$3 K16R-U11 Denso 3120 Spark Plug

K16R-U11 single electrode). Is that bad? Or can I continue running this type?

 

seriously?? lol Dude hell yea i'd put it on Frankenstein.

 

Best get some replacement u bolts, stock should work but it's a good idea to get extended. if you're doing that might as well flip the u bolts and relocate the shocks, in which case the ones you were going with wont work and since you're doing all that might as well get some coilovers up front.

Seriously though, rear extended break line, u bolts, break proportioning valve, easy to make yourself or BAMF, and...BEER You don't need shackles, can if you want. I've never done an aal, don't think you need to remove the leafs, if you do get a replacement main eye bolt in advance.

If you have any questions feel free to pm me.

 

It is a good idea to move up your BPV arm up to match the lift you have. I even more so if your an auto. It's really helps with braking to have the BPV valve in the right position.

 

explains why my brakes feel like shit ,cause I didnt do that didnt really think it was a big deal .rookie mistake

 

Did my taxes today (yes, I know that is not Tacoma related) but in 3-4 weeks should be ordering my full OME 883s with new leafs kit from Wheelers

 

Does anyone know of any cheap amber led bars?

Thanks man! Yup, took me a few weekends working on it a little at a time. And things "flowing" wasn't an accident Hopefully it doesn't look to out of place when I plate it and add some hoops for the bedsides.

 

Its a load sensing proportioning valve, it goes off ride height, so if your lifted it thinks your bed weighs nothing and the rear brakes don't much of anything. That wears out your front brakes faster and the truck doesn't stop as fast.. Do it up!! They're easy to make too if you have a hacksaw and a drill…

 

Thanks Jerry, I may just have to order your part

Thanks for the help! Very much appreciated!!

Thanks man!

 

There nice they just don't offer any amber light bars that I could see

 

well, I called my local 4wheel parts store and they said Billstein doesnt make 5100 for my truck...lol

I'm just gonna go thru Wheelers Offroad. Ay caramba

Should I do a 2inch AAL or 1.5?
