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

We used to when it was Burt. They don't change pay based off of status anymore. One of the reasons I didn't care to take it. One guy in the shop went from master down to certified. They didn't change his pay, he can't do warranty anymore, it has kinda been a shop de-motivater. Why keep your certs when you can loose them all and still get all the easy gravy work.

 

Damn.... yeah I lose 2 bucks if I don't pass the mdt

 

Which one do you guys prefer Ultra gauge or Scan gauge?

 

If you're looking for price - ultra guage. More reliable/ accurate - scan gauge

 

Probably go with a UG due to being so much cheaper and I'm only going to use it for gas mileage and codes

 

I've had both... I liked the color change ability of the scan gauge... but the larger display and price of the Ultragauge.

I vote ultragauge

 

I have an UG but never look at it. It is good for clearing codes though.

in other news I averaged 16.23 mpg on my last tank of regular. not bad for 5.29s 35s and full armor. 1/2 highway 1/2 city

 

Ultragauge makes my ABS light blink. Scanguage does not.

 

Had some spare time today, and it was snowing.. again, so I started rebuilding some 13WL calipers for the Tundra brake mod. They are in some rough ass shape and will take a lot to get them working right and looking purdy. Got them cheap from a junk yard though and I'm in no rush to install so I'm gonna take my time w/ the rebuild and probably not get them in til the summer haha

 

I was just told that scan gauge was more accurate by a few members when I was questioning which one I should buy so I trusted them haha

Same with all you, I liked the big screen of the ultra gauge but after awhile I found out my gas milage was what I expected and I drive efficiently so that shouldn't change. So I sold it and bought a subwoofer

 

Did some retros

 

Where did you source your parts for this and what exact parts did you use?
They look amazing

 

The retrofitsource. I'm gonna sell these. Just building them cuz I had the parts to make a set. Gonna sell these and order then ones I want with color changing halos and color changing led demon eyes

 

Ok cool well as of right now truck funds are low untill it gets warmer and landscaping starts back up
But GLWS

 

Thanks man

 

How much?

 

Wheeled her !

 

Finally did the grey wire mod!


Took it up in the mountains yesterday


And this was a bit ago but figured I'd throw it up too, used it to go out riding.

 

SOOOOO February was a busy month for EL Trucko.

Got my Doug Thorley headers installed by American Iron Custom Exhaust, who did a great job.
Drivers Side

Passengers Side

I had them delete one of the cats (was cali spec) and replace the remaining one with a FM high flow cat and Borla cat back that has a deep throaty sound to and sounds amazing at WOP. I will try to add some before and after sound clips

After: http://youtu.be/-vsEoDlQ0pw



I also put in new Spyder headlights along with some super bright LED headlight bulbs

Finally put on my 1.25" Spider Tracks to put the finishing touch on the overall stance of my truck and I must say, it does make a difference.

Overall I love the extra umph that the truck has with the new headers and exhaust system. The look of the wider stance of the truck along with the new lights, scratches the itch of modding my truck some more......................for now (Injen intake is on its way)

 

Woke up to this
