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

Glad I could help.

 

I'm trying to get axles so I can get my 4wd back lol. But yeah I've heard they have to be modified I just don't know how and I don't exactly have the money to buy the total chaos ones lol

 

Matt at MCM will do it for you. But it's basically grinding down the joint a tad to allow more droop and lip for boots

 

**spits coffee out!!

Well played John

oh man!! good way to start the morning! LOL

 

Replaced the knock sensor wiring harness today. I still get a knock sensor code, so it must actually be the sensor. I can't do much about it now so it looks like will have to trailer it to Minnesota when I move the rest of my shit.

 

I had both sensors replaced and the harness but now the CEL comes on for the knock sensor code when im in high rpms but will go away after a while.

 

When I reset mine it comes back as soon as I put a load on the engine. I'm going to load the stock 7th injector map and see if maybe my tune went to hell. Otherwise I don't know. Toyota said the sensors rarely ever go bad under 200k miles. I kind of think I'm pinging hard and my engine is toast.

 

I would expect to hear it if it were that bad.

 

I have open header exhaust dumped under the cab. I can't hear shit. It makes a sound like ping when I'm lugging the engine, but when I had the cat on it didn't make the sound, and as soon as I took the cat off it did, so I thought it was the exhaust. Now my thought is it's ping. I had low rpm ping before so I know what it sounds like, but i had it tuned out with the cat on and there's no way I could hear that ping with my current exhaust. The tune is pretty high on retard and fuel though.

 

Oh. yeah. as soon as I read "open header". I'm crossing my fingers for ya. I stopped mucking about with mine. Went back to stock pulley and happy with the preloaded tune. One day, I might take it into a shop to be tuned but I'm at a point I'm done with it for awhile.

 

Put a few of the Taco's Christmas gifts on today

Some nifty seat covers and floor mats. Not a perfect fit but it'll do.



35's. Need to tub before the other's go on


Okay, they're not on yet but here they are. Need shoulder to heal first..

Ya'll can join too

 

Got the 4.70 t case in the dual case setup and picked up some 39.5's today. A few more things and she'll be ready for a shakedown run!

 

damn. making quick work with it! How much did the 39s run?

 

Haha daddy don't play. I picked up 5 of them and the wheels in the pic for $1100. One of the tires leaks though so he's sending me $100 back and hopefully I can get it vucanized.

 

that is a crazy good deal. my god

 

Oh yeah I'm pleased. Just need to sell the 82 asap now so I can get chromo's for the front, build some beadlocks, and exo it
