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

Maybe with trying to hold speed if you guys have to do the rollers?

I remember doing tailpipe tests in Arizona when I lived there. Had to hold at 45mph for a certain period and attempting to get it dialed in could be fun.

 

I had a full size Bronco on 33s and never had an issue at an emission place that ran it on rollers.

My friend has a K5 on 35s... no problems there either.

 

Here in Santa Fe we don't either, but 50 miles South, in Albuquerque, they do. We (Santa Fe) have some of the cleanest air in the U.S., which is awesome, but makes me wonder if we should get emissions mandated to keep it that way. NM is a pretty poor state, and you can tell from some of the POS's driving around. I feel for the folks with few nickels to rub together, but damn when you think the person is driving a spy car, like in that old game Spy Hunter, shitting out plumes of smoke behind them... grrrr.

 

haha same in wyoming. Every now and then some old beater drives by..haha

 

Uhhh, I hope mine aren't 30's! lol

 

Oh, and HEY!!! It's not the size of the tire, it's the rotational velocity of the rubber!!

 

and not that push button 4wd crap. why is it so hard to find a truck with a 5 speed and 4wd?

 

My Taco is 4WD manual hubs, manual trans, 5 speed

 

DIY wrap around rear

 

Not sure why people hate on push button 4wd so much. Seems like everyone I know who has it on Taco's have no issues.

 

because they have the mentality that manual=better.
My opinion is if they love manual stuff so much they should put a manual starter on, it has less chance of failure vs an electric starter.

 

What you doing with your current headlights? Also let me know how dropping the front diff for the oil pan goes. I need to change out my gasket as well...

 

Tried multiple times to program my keyless entry remote with the gypsy method of opening and closing your door and was unsuccessful.

 

Just because the FCC number is correct, doesn't mean it is the correct one.

 

Personally I have heard only one case of the push button 4wd not working properly. Iirc it was a full size truck lifted with huge tires (~44") and some electronic sensor got ripped off/broken so 4WD was useless. Was documented on a forum up here in AK. (Sorry about the details haha)

 

I will man. I have them sold man. I can make you some

 

I had an ADD fail on my F-150 with a push button. Computer said everything was working fine and didn't realize that it wasn't until I was stuck in the middle of the lake with temps dropping into the -20's.

While computer controls are usually reliable, having the tactile knowledge that things are engaged are a bonus.

 

Make that 2 cases now!
Manual Trans, Manual Hubs, and J-Shifter FTW!
