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

How much $$$???

 

Around $550.00

 

shit. It's always that much

 

I think there are cheaper ways to go about it. You don't have to have stainless steel braided brake lines or slotted brake rotors & etc.
Do some research and shop around for the cheapest stuff. I know for sure I could have went cheaper but I wanted the best possible braking performance.

 

Im a wholesaler so i wont make you cry with my pricing! The cores charges on these calipers are at $72-77 bucks each on top of caliper price!! But i preferred the cross drilled and slotted rotors in a black zinc finish since i go through some Gnarly, muddy, dirty, sloppy $hyt.

Your red is a nice touch though.......Id have that nice red tore up fast!!

 

I only just noticed my tailgate is like a dang mirror so clean <3

 

Isn't the caliper cost only one facet though? If I go with the best quality everything even with your caliper pricing I'd still be over 500 total right?

 

Got bored today so I took out a cig lighter and replaced with a dual port usb.

 

Too bad.. now ya only have 15 cig lighters left in the truck

 

I know, right. Maybe I'll relocate to the bed so I can run a freezer/fridge.

The main difference being an afternoon spent installing supercharger vs a few months of no truck and on jack stands with lots of custom work.

 

i would think it'll take me at least a couple of days for the supercharger w/ 7th injector. installing then fine tuning it to my liking. but yea the LS3 swap would probably take me 2 months of nonstop fabrication then at least a week easy of tuning it. i never installed a supercharger so i'll probably take my time with the install.

 

I'm thinking about going 2" on the front and rear. I don't think I will go any higher, I'm only putting 32's on my truck with stock wheel. Should I put a front diff drop kit? I heard some good but mostly bad about it.

 

Installed a test pipe from LCEngineering the the other day as well as a URD O2 simulator. Their website says the test pipe is for the 3RZ but it's the same dimensions as the cat on my 5VZ. It sounds great. I have Doug thorley headers and an 18" magnaflow. It's actually a pretty deep tone and is only loud when I get on it between 1500-2500 RPM. Anything smaller than an 18" muffler and it would be too loud for me. This is the perfect setup IMO.

It really doesn't take that long. Unless you only have 2-3 hours at a time to give to the project. Its that easy to do.

 

Cool. Where did you get it? I'd like to do that to my truck also.

 

I was walking through an RV store getting some parts for my camp trailer when I noticed it. Minimal trimming with the drimmel to widen the hole.

 

Got a chance to crawl under the truck, Passenger axle shaft came undone from the inner side. (hope that makes sense)...too much play so I might have broken it or not seated it right when I re-booted my axles. I heard a loud pop after crawling up a sandy hill on sunday. Took 3 tries but I got it up that damn hill...open/open for the loss

I appreciate the feedback gentlemen, I'm still learning
