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

Aww your so nice to make that for my truck , what a nice guy . lol great looking skid , you do nice work .

 

That came out fuckin awesome.

 

So beautiful. Haven't been full for the longest time

 

I'm probably going to replace the brake lines. One of the banjo fittings won't quit leaking.

haha thanks, they are pretty tattered though.

Also, anybody have experience with these thermostats? Yota keeps wanting to run warm, so I'm replacing the thermostat, washing the radiator out, and replacing the thermostat.

yea , i hear there is a shortage of crude oil there in Texas

 

I hear you there , my mom told me that money grows on trees , She f en lied to me . damn her

 

I feel sick now

 

cleaned up some old rusty sliders! Hopefully going to weld them on next week.

 

Oh boy! Get ready for a LOUD cab. Speaking from experience, I ran my in-cab snorkel for 2 days and had to change it up because it was so loud. Good luck and wear earplugs and don't plan on any conversations with passengers. Other than that its a sweet location for the intake.

 

Well damn haha glad it all worked out

 

Will do, once I get around to finishing it in a few weeks

Jon (45ACP) was saying it shouldn't be too loud, I will leave the deck plate open all the time except for Hopefully that will keep the noise down, if it does drive me crazy, I will just shove a rag from the intake side into the snorkel pipe. (Kinda like the picture shows.)

Thanks for the advice everyone!

 

I tried the rag trick. Didn't make one bit of difference. Maybe the wussy 4cyl is a lot quieter than my V6 but I considered 45acp's advice too when he said it wasn't too loud. Sure was on my truck.

 

btw, topper is back on the truck for a while.


and planning to give some love to the Cruiser soon. Can't wait to be honest. I've really missed driving this thing.

 

Dude , give that land cruiser some lovin , stretch her legs , let those ponies run

 

Changed the radiator cause it had a crack.
box plate mod.
washed her.

 

Don't worry same thing happened with me there except I took it in 3 times had two cross threaded lugs that broke when I took them off went back to get it balanced which they said it was perfectly balanced.(blamed it on the tie rods which are brand new ) So I didn't wanna waste more time and went to jension tire and had them balance them except the front driver side had another cross threaded lug.

 

May have my wheels and tires sold. If so, goin back to a 15 with true 33x12.50s. What wheels should I get? And MTRs or Km2s

 

What if for ordinary daily driving you opened your deck plate mode and had a means of closing the internal snorkel? Like a plug.

 

Km2s.

Better for a dd

MTRs are better for a dedicated offroader
