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

Not bad it does look high in the picture but it sits flush against the roof

 

I'm ready. Camo overalls are anxious to be worn

 

That's flush?!
I meant more lower like how mine is

Yours is still mounted higher is it not?

 

I meant it sits flat on the roof. Yeah I like the lower look better

 

All I'm saying is I had mine like yours before and my regular commute to work I'd have to get up to 2400 rpms at 60 mph versus now at 2000-2100 rpms. It makes a difference

 

But dude it looks freaking awesome.
(No, no it doesn't.)

 

Tomorrow here the high is 1° with windchills at -25°.
No school

 

Doesn't matter how it looks I like it that's all that matters.

 

Do you have the v6 5 speed or what? That's what I have and I can run 75 no problem around 2100

 

If that's what you like then go for it.

 

V6 auto. I can too, now that I moved my light bar. That's my point

 

yeah yeah yea...likely story. Keep loosing your bumpers

Looking good man!

 

Truck looks good dude.


I have always liked that look. only reason I didn't go 15x10 was because most would say that's not good for airing down. I'm sure I could still wheel, but 15x8 was more practical for me. I thought about spacers to push them out a bit but I'll probably rub on my flares.

 

Thanks bud, the wheels are 15x8 with a little offset but it has 2 inch spacers so they're pretty much 15/10's. I don't care for the spacers but they were on the truck and when I had the wheels put on I never had them took off but I think I'm going to soon.

 

2 in. spacers might be pushing it

 

I bought a driver side outer door handle from a salvage yard, $8.00 to replace my broken one. I've been having to open driver side door from the back seat., Got to be a PIA real fast.

 

That's kinda what I was thinking.

 

Ran them on my old one didn't have any problems

 

I had to install a new Spectre 3" airbox flange after the replacement flange broke from when I repaired the shitty airbox nipple. Original Spectre flange lasted 2 years. Original nipple lasted 12. They should be made of rubber like the intake hose or them old dildoes. Truck kept stalling at low rpms. I thought it might be a tranny solenoid as the A/T temp light went on everytime it stalled. Last time the airbox broke the truck went into uncontrolled throttle. Someday I will replace the check engine light. Maybe when the county it is registered in is not emissions exempt anymore and they force me to replace burned out cat and both non-working sensors. What is the record lifespan for an original muffler system? My point is f--k alot of engine light always being on in an old Tacoma, that shit gets annoying. It took 6 years for that light to burn out. Dammit man.
Repair took ten minutes (this time) thanks to prior drilled fastener holes.
FYI, bottom of airbox had a decent amount of oil residue from the K&N filter... So F that too! Going back to paper, its more old timey like!!!
