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

This. My brother has one and I drove it once for a day on tight winding wooded back roads.

I never hated a vehicle as much as I did that day.

 

How much will going from a auto to manual trans affect my gearing?
I currently have 265/76/16 AT's and at 70MPH I'm turning ~2300 RPM in 4th gear.

 

At 70 I'm around 2700 or so, 5th gear same size tars

 

Got my CB fixed finally! $71 later lol

PA installed and works too.

 

Now you can yell at the old people in the street

 

My wife's 2001 4runner has glass headlamps. Crystal clear, to this day. (the driving lights are a little cheap, but they are at least projectors...) Every so often I buff out my headlamps, and then look over at hers, and they still look better.....

 

haha exactly. We really need one in the crawler since it doesn't have a horn

 

I need to put a PA on with my cb. What kind did you get?

 

Does anyone run all pro spacers? If so do they work okay? Any vibes?

 

Well crap. Was driving around thisevening and suddenly my CB quit working. Checked the SWR and it was at 8.5 on channel 40 which means the antenna stud grounded out. I have a cheap radio shack stud and its possible that I cracked the insulator. I checked and reinstalled the stud with no change.

If I get a Firestik stud, how tight to I need the stud to be?

Bought this for my truck to see how it would look. Peeled off my Sr5 ones and they were just to old and peeling to put back on.

 

I actually got mine from another member during the TW Secret Santa last year.

 

Passenger cv decided to on me. Boot doesn't have any rips which is strange. I just put a lift on last week and the boot blows out. might need a diff drop. also got some goodies from wheelers

 

While under the truck checking my ballpoints for any play, I decided to find out what the annoying rattling noise is while my truck idles. I banged around a bit and found it. If I hit the exhaust pipe at the rear O2 sensor it sounds like a few things are rattling around in the pipe. I'm assuming this is the sensor that has disintegrated? Any ideas?

 

RadioShack waterproof 100w outdoor speaker works, that's what I had and I had it amped it was pretty loudd

 

I shall check it out

 

Plus for like $3 you get a lifetime warranty

 

if you don't get an amp for it there's no point in a 100w horn. If your CB only puts out 20w to a PA horn, getting something over 20w is useless.

 

That is awesome Lauren.

 

Good to hear Lauren....

HEY !!! Thats enough about yelling at old people....

You may not see it but theres a rip in there somewhere, too much grease showing
