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

Anyone know the dimensions of the stock exhaust pipe premuffler?

Craigslist has a nib Flowmaster Super 44 2.25in/2.25out, that I am curious if it would fit.

 

Having my tires siped. Expected wait time of 3-5 hours.

 

It's metric ha

But it's close to 2.25" good exhaust guy and it'll fit no problem.

That said...


Magnaflow FTW.

 

Solid advice thank you!

 

wow haha not a smart person..

And as much as I'd love to, no I love my exhaust setup

 

Although..I guess if I do a motor swap...I'd want 3" pipe..so....I suppose it's a possibility after all..haha

 

Magnaflow catback exhaust is still my favorite so far. Can't justify ~$500 on exhaust right now though... Haha

 

FM 40 ftw! Sounds nice and low driving around. Still sounds like a typical v6 at wot but in a good way.

 

Finished the pop pin and sprayed the swing-out with bedliner...

 

Interested in how this is done, especially for my KM2's in the PNW rain.

This give me hope as my high clearance spaghetti noodle bumper needs a swing out tire carrier. Did you build this?

 

Yes I built the bumper and swing out.
Its built like a brick shit house... But I would rather it be overbuilt than underbuilt ..

 

Dropped my truck off at the dealership today for frame replacement. Fingers crossed I don't get a call saying a bunch of shit need to be done.

Got a Camry for a rental, feel like I'm driving a spaceship with all the knobs and the radio. Crazy how much stuff these new vehicles can do!

 

I drove a BMW 428i this past week. Took me 2 mins to figure out how to put it in reverse.

Took me about 20 miles to figure out how to make the air blowing out of the vents comfortable and not just scorching hot or freezing cold. And twice during a 1.5 hour drive the side view mirrors automatically aimed down.

No thanks.

Give me the 1998 technology.

 

exactly

 

Installed Wheeler 5-leaf springs and Billy 5125's - 2d attempt and multiple bolts removed with cutoff wheel, their on with no Taco lean. Front 5100's and OME 880s next week!

 

Does anyone know if a company makes any full metal rear bumpers for the 01-04 tacomas like the ranch hand rear bumper for full size trucks? The metal heavy duty bumper

 

I always wondered how these are fastened to the rest of the body. Aren't the bedsides welded to the rest of the bed?

 

Yea you have to cut the top seam off. Heard its a bit of a bitch.

 

Twin sticks

 

I am putting an autolocker in the front diff. With 2lo I can drive the steep trails I don't need 4wd for without having the autolocker pulling me in a straight line. Only 4wd when absolutely needed.

And I have manual hubs for all the auto locker haters.
