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

Looks just like my UWS box.

 

It may be, I think they are all the same just different labels.

 

Ohhhhh yesss that looks real good! Love me some flatbed

 

I'd completely black out the flat bed. I think it would look awesome if the whole thing was black with the silver truck. Looks sweet man good fab work

 

Agree!!! Blk it all out

 

Fresh from the liquor store. Time to swap injectors

 

Pro tip... On this back nut.... Drop it down into the cavern behind the engine... Gives you time to make another drink and contemplate your decisions

 

Decided to try the BOSS rears. I think I gained 3/4 of an inch of droop over the OME. I have zero complaints for the OME. They lasted 60k just thought I'd try something different.

 

I hate to say it but it's a cheap ass hanneman fiberglass hood. It was a huge PIA to try and fit it to the truck. The hoods they make are sub par at best. if i could do it over again i would buy another stock hood and have a real metal hood scoop grafted onto the new hood and painted. I got it because it was cheap, light and my old hood had some bondo from the PO hitting something and doing a cheap ass fix to it and it started cracking. At least there are inserts molded into it so it connects to the hinges normally but no latch assembly. It has a lot of down sides but it's cheap. what can you say.

 

Had some family call me to catch up so just getting back to it... Finally found the injectors! The journey continues... And we're on J&C number 3... Work to drink ratio getting skewed... I'll keep you posted if it blows up later

 

Pro tip number 2.... Depressurize the fuel rail before pulling the rail and injectors... Or it vents when you pull the rail. Luckily I already had a towel in place and caught my mistake quickly. Reflexes still on point is there a write-up out there?!? Sorry for cluttering the thread tonight, but hopefully I'm helping someone... I miss my Corvettes and easily accessible fuel rails haha.

 

Found the aforementioned nut...

 

New struts and shocks, replaced tie rods and lower ball joints. My pass side obj castle nut wasn't even torqued down and the joint wasn't seated! Once I removed the cotter pin I was able to remove the castle nut completely by hand and the knuckle just swung free, definitely not a good feeling!

 

This is my next adventure... Front suspension overhaul. At least you know it's put back together correctly right?!?

 

Code went from P0302 to P0304 following injector swap!!!! Now I have to do it all over again with new injectors. Side note... Came in and the wife said you wreak of alcohol and gasoline No extra parts and no explosions sorry for those betting on me blowing something up



There's always next time when I replace injectors

 

Congrats on a solid diagnosis. Don't forget to sober up before a test drive.

 

Always so sensible...

 

No test drive tonight Ultraguage already proved it's worth. showered and ready for a movie. Thanks to all for the suggestions and help. Hope you enjoyed the follow along. May have to do a proper write up when I swap the injectors so others can learn from my mistakes.. err... oversights As always, a big thank you to TW for the help and previous threads that loosely guided me

 

Sexy

 

You all are reminding me I need to sell the aluminum one that came with my taco. I can't afford the space loss for dump runs or brew days.
