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

Really need to do this even though I watched a video from chrisfix that told me about getting the oil tested from blackstone long ago. But your tacoma will go over 500K without a problem. Theres a person on here that has over 500K by being supercharged it's whole life. That's why I'm not to worried about driving my truck anywhere.

Looks great either way.

Have you noticed your engine consuming any oil? I haven't noticed any until my last oil change where I was a half quart low even though I got a slight leak. But I know these engines don't really consume as much as a chevy.

The old toyota's or newer model ones? I'm interested to see how Toyota sticks with their quality engines with the new 2016.

It is weird on how Tacoma's still have higher resale value than 4runners that have almost the same everything underneath the body. I recently bought a lexus IS300 with the 2jz for a cheap price. But it does need work but I didn't care about mileage because the car ran excellent even though there was that burning oil smell that I need to fix.

 

It's 194. Now would be the perfect time to do an LED switch.

 

Speaking of lights, what's the bulb for the license plate? I've got one out

 

I have a fly by wire so I just added the bracket.

 

Oh and is there a brighter option for reverse lights? I thought there was a mod that people have done or something like that. I can't recall it at this time

 

194 as well.

I went with these bulbs

My LED back up lights are still working great from the day I bought them 3 years ago.

 

Thanks guys.


Not a fan of the led or color swapping. My eyes hurt enough as it is with lights at night. Orange is easy on the eyes. Do i need to buy orange bulbs or just regular?

 

I mean you could go white and some LED's are dim-able such as superbrightleds.com but I understand. Just get regular, the stock bulbs have orange condoms to give them that orange effect, just take those condoms off and put them on the new bulb.

 

Awesome! Thanks, going in the build for later next week

 

Not a problem don't forget to post pics on before/after like you said in your build trend

 

Will do!

 

Just turned my truck on and heard the glorious tune of a failing PS pump

 

Not cool.

 

No Not what I needed right now. Ill have to add that to my long list of 200,000 mile service to do this spring break

 

Damn, I forgot you had that kinda mileage on her!

 

all caught up. Got a shipping notification for the fender clips today. Spraying fenders tomorrow hopefully.

 

Yuup just hit the big 200 the other day.
Shes just mad I didn't get her anything for the occasion

 

@tacomatrd22 I don't burn enough for it to be measurable between oil changes. Just enough escapes around the distributor deal to keep it looking dirty but that's the only leak I have.

 

Check your Pm's

 

Your truck is the Unicorn Jason......
