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

C-Pillar mount ^^

And, non Tacoma related, bought a used 94 Chevy with the 5.7 for a temporary daily driver/tow pig til we knock out all the kinks for the race truck.

 

Tinted the windows and picked up 2 q's of synthetic dex 3 for a ps.flush along with a new pcv and grommit

 

nice welds for your first time

 

either way, someone got lucky there first time welding

 

Got the front end aligned again.

 

Installed my sub.

 

Got some bilstein 5165s

 

Did you tint em yourself?

 

Pics? Looking to put something in my double cab.

 

Changed coolant, Engine, Differential (F and R), Transfer case, and Transmission Oil. So after a great deal of time, double checking parts and fluids, i FAILED to confirm the transmission fluid level (5 spd manual) i put in 2.35 instead of the 2.6 it calls for. I WILL be correcting this in the morning, i drove about 10-15 miles like this, no weird noises or bad shifting, think this caused any damage?

 

probably not thats not a ton of fluid...i dunno about the taco but on my mustang you just pour fluid in till it runs out the drain hole(actually on the mustang i pour it thru the shifter hole with the fill hole unscrewed till it runs out the side)

 

Thats what i plan on doing tommorow. After reading a great deal of threads it seems the easiest way is the fill until it starts running back out of the fill hole.

 

Think I'm gonna paint my flare clips and put them back in tomorrow. If it doesn't rain

 

Just cleaned the opening of my throttle body/butterfly valve. It was pretty ugly in there. I have somewhat of a high idle in park now though...750 in drive and 1200 in park even when warmed up. I plugged the hole in the bottom of the throttle body to minimize stuff dripping into it too.

 

I'll get some good ones tomorrow and post them.
I got this sub and put it under the drivers seat, it's plenty loud for my tastes in music (country, kick hop) and i don't have it turned up all the way.

 

well have anyof you guys heard about the offroad 3.4 turbo kit?

 

He is on here. Has a sick 4runner.

Be interested to see it. Been watching another guys on here who is using the cxracing kit

 

This sub is pretty damn nice. I've had it 2+ years tucked under my xcab driver seat. Well rounded sound and will even surprise you. Have always had the dials on the sub a little under half and the remote dial stays around half also. Don't expect the deepest lows to boom (it's only 8") but bass drum and guitar stand out nicely. Best deal around for the quality IMO.

 

Got my truck back from the shop the other day after that douche ran into it at Denny's. Unfortunately they didn't have cameras so we couldn't find the person involved, but the insurance was only 300 for the full coverage deductible. Body shop priced damage at 1600. Anyway, got it back and it looks like it never even happened. Definitely going back to that body shop for everything else I need done. Photos to come from before and after.

 

That's next on my list.it pulls to the right after my last trip...
