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

Do you still have stock rack bushings?

 

Lmao if I had a dollar for every time my girlfriend reacts this way.

 

Anybody have problems with static coming through the radio? Antenna is picking it up with the leds. Doesn't happen when using aux cord.

Installed my custom grill, it was a fun project.







I'm pretty stoked with the result. On a side note, Modified85, was nice enough to spend his Sunday afternoon installing these bad to the bone sliders he hand made for me. Thank you sir.

 

Yup. electromagnetic frequencies are being broadcasted when power is run to them, which is why you're picking it up whenever you're listening to the radio but not when using an aux cord.

Ferrite cores are commonly applied to electronics to help with interference, you could try throwing some on the lines to see if it helps out.

He is meaning when you flex the suspension "stuffing it in the wheel well"

I picked it up at Probuild, a local hardware store.

Unplug your intake air temp sensor and try starting it next time that happens.

 

Yeah, I am not even mad about it. She had waaay more damage, buckled her hood, smashed her headlight

 

so I bought some POR15 yesterday and sanded my frame down good almost to bare metal and coated it mostly just behind the rear axle. It went on way thinner than I was expected and I had way more left over than I anticipated so I am gonna try to do most of the frame the bed covers while I still have it off.

Im not sure how long this stuff stays good though. I covered it back up with the lid but it was pretty beat up from opening it so i ran to the store and got one of those plastic locking mason jars to keep the air out as best I could until today. Maybe I can keep it for a few weeks doing this if I have any left over? Haven't done the second coat yet so not sure if my method kept it preserved well enough yet
