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

Not mine but a buddy on Instagram



brandon_hagler if you wanna go ask him about it

 

Same thing happened to me. Thought my bumper was fine at first then kept looking at it and saw it was slightly twisted down on one side. Been pissing me off since.

Hope all is well though

 

Thanks - Just checked out your build - nice rig. Also, some good ideas on the cable routing - I hadn't though of taking the cable through the tail light. Thanks for the info!

 

So the taco is down. I had a big pop in my exhaust and it ran ok above 30 MPH. I barley made it home and it idled ruff. It smelled like a rotten egg smell so i'm thinking my cat took a shit. It won't start now that I turned it off. Any ideas? I guess this weekend I'll pull the cat and see if the truck will start. unless someone else can give me an idea how to trouble shoot that.

 

I'm about to do just that. The white that they have looks really good.

 

Thanks! Yeah I didn't want to be able to really see the wire, so I just went straight up into the light compartment ( ) and out the light at the top

 

You don't think that'd be overkill for my OME lift?

 

Does anyone know why they don't make a spindle lift for first gen prerunners? Without having to get a full long travel kit?

 

Just ordered the Centric rear brake rebuild kit from rock auto since mine are grinding something nasty. Have a bit of maintenance to catch up on soon.

 

They do. ... Or did anyways

They looked like this and gave 3" lift.

 

If you had a trailer hitch you would of screwed that Chevy up even more

 

ouch!

 

I thought there was a fab tech one for 5 lugs I didn't think they had one for the prerunner. Is that yours?

 

Which is why I take mine out. No need to do extra damage to someone's vehicle.

 

Found out solomotorsports makes them. Looks like you need an uniball uca though.

 

I used 18' coax from the driver tail light to the ash tray and it was very tight for me. I ended up having to string it across my floor instead of going up behind the steering wheel. I just put the floor mats. I believe you can get a small 2 or 3 foot extension if it won't be enough for you

 

@Silver02Taco I don't see this option avail on their site for our tacos. You order an 05+ one?

 

Big possibility that it's the throttle position sensor. My truck did something similar and it was fine after we replaced it. The rotten egg smell is probably due to it running rich.

 

check my build!


The grill, bumpers, and flares are all monstalined in black, the truck is pyroclastic

 

That really sucks and you could put a new cat to see if she does run. If I was you it would be a great time to put a new exhaust on. Or at least new tubing with a new muffler? The possibilities are endless
