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

Yes they were there. we did John bull was a fun little trail. Some guys had some trouble in the rocks..

 

my buddy with the mustang in all the pictures of my truck being rebuilt..he runs 110..but has some crazy ass additive. And the motor is tweaked and drives like the Roadrunner on crack and ecstasy.

 

The additive was probably nitro mix, super fuel enhancer but you really had to be careful with it , just a little too much & you'd start burning holes in pistons

I ran some nitro once thru my 57' Chevy truck it had the 375 HP 327 with fuely heads (small hump) out of a '67 vette, it already ran like a raped ape but it def boosted things up some

 

My buddy ran some nitro in his race go kart and blew the head right off the block. Wrecked a $1300 custom Briggs and Stratton.

Don't doubt it a bit, thats why i only did it once, i was too paranoid about scattering my motor & that shit would do it, kinda like plugging a 110v drill into a 220v plug fastest drill in the world...for about 2 mins...melt down haha

You were going to get some anyway but Chris could sell ice cubes to eskimos...

 

Eno hammock/tie down mounts on bedrack

 

Get off your lazy ass !!! thats awesome Chad !...best piece of camping gear to bring...

 

Thanks Doug! I love my eno, it stays in the truck or my bag when I leave home!!

 

removed decals.
changed battery/terminals.
repainted some of the roof rack in between rain spurts.
shortened and added hinges to the dog platform for the access cab.
over spray onto my bed panels black paint.
got it to come off.
ran out of time before a family dinner and house showing.
so now i have big dirt outlines of my old decals, pending a wash tomorrow.

was nice to spend some time fixin neglected stuff, wish I coulda finished a wash and put my skids back on.

 

Installed 4.88's, arb locker up front, and all new switches.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That looks awesome Sean... I'm amazed you found room for all those switches ,especially for a 1st gen...

 

Damn Sean, next you'll be removing your clock.

 

Thanks. Yea I agree. Thanks to Paranoid56 who made the switch plates, they look and fit awesome. Here is the sale thread for anyone who is interested http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315089.

Actually lol, I've already changed my clock into a voltage meter.

 

J88logue has some switches in the removable piece for fuse access, of the dash above the hood latch. looks clean and easily replaceable if necessary.

 

Got the rear OME nitrosports installed tonight along with the C/Os I installed earlier in the day. The truck drives like a totally different vehicle, tight but smooth. The body roll is a lot less prevalent. Pictures tomorrow when I have some decent light.

 

Did you like my idea to bend the ashtray bracket up 20 degrees? I requested one like that first and I guess Paranoid56 stuck with it I just installed mine today as well.

 

Lol just making sure, you never know. If your bed is that bad I'd take a close look at the frame.

 

Frame was replaced a few months ago.

 

When I first test fit it, I didn't really care for it and was debating bending it some. But once I got all of my other switches in and the dash put back together, I like it a lot more.
