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

Got my sticker today

 

Black Electrical tape???? Your Good!!!!

Just messing with you..... I do enjoy looking at your truck!!!!

I got my OME 882s with Nitrocharges installed... I could not be happier...

Changed the VCG and clean the Tb and intake.

Looks good. I'm thinkin about gettin a sticker too. My back window is starting to fill up with stickers..

Just got my side outlet exhaust all welded up.



The best part about it was that I didn't have to buy anything at all. I made it work with the stock tail pipe. I plan on getting a nice tip in the future. It sounds awesome and I think it's one of the best free mods I've done so far.

 

Axle relocation plates came in.

 

Yes that is one, i believe they are called screens or something, the dealer told me the same thing until I gave him a part number.

Here is a good write up

http://home.centurytel.net/stevenjackie/transmission flush/tranny.html

edit: is that a gasket for the filter/screen or for the pan? the screen should have cork gaskets and the pan should have FIPG, at least mine does A340F.

 

Looks like a dong hanging out a hole in jeans

 

lol... I was going to cut it flush soon so then it won't be hanging out. It will just be peeping through the hole haha.

 

thanks for the write up! good information in there. and yeah it is a gasket... but i think I am going to take the kit back and get a filter and the FIPG from the dealer... dont know if i trust this aftermarket filter/gasket!!

 

Did some hauling today (yes we did more than one trip)

 

NP! It's what I used when I dropped my pan. Yeah I would take it back if I were you, you can re use the filter, they techs at the dealership didn't even know there was one in there All it is is a screen, I cleaned mine with break cleaner and then poured some atf through it just to be thorough, though my tranny is going out anyway so I didn't think a new filter was worth it. Most people say to re use it.

 

well hey Im not gunna stick my nose up to saving twenty bucks!! haha whats wrong with your trans? how many miles you got?

 

It will probably work just fine, ive head a cork gasket on for more than a few years.... But I don't think it was a dura last kit... I avoid dura last like a plague devil chupacabra bad thing

 

For those of you with subs and amps in your trucks, I just ordered mine. Gonna mount the amp under the passengers seat. If I peeled the carpet back and sanded whatever paint down to bare metal, would the seat bolt with a ring terminal be a suitable ground? A friend of mine told me to run it back to the battery but I want to keep the ground as short as possible.

 

That will work fine. I have mine grounded where the passenger seatbelt bolts to the floor. I put it there so I don't have to worry about the ground when I pull the seats out.

 

Thanks, that's probably a better idea. Not that I'll ever be pulling the seats out again but still ha

 

have fun^
