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

So I should be looking for a casting mark on the caliper that says 13WL, correct?

I plugged all the info from that car into Autozone and it's telling me there's also a S13WE. Would that work too?

Also, would these work with my stock Toyota OEM rims? They look like this:



I'm running the slightly above stock size tires (P235 70R15)

 

Will not work with a 15" rim...gotta go to a 16

 

16s are needed. Even then not all will clear.

The 13we is slightly smaller then the 13wl. Still an upgrade. Think it's like a 190mm rotor vs 210mm or something like that...can't remember.

 

So instead of selling the TRD exhaust I went ahead and got it installed. It's real throaty and practically no drone. I don't see why there were very few of these around because it is an excellent exhaust system. You'll see how my stock exhaust runs rich and cannot handle all the fuel going through. The TRD exhaust alleviated this issue instantly and helps the truck breathe. Unlike N/A trucks I felt an increase in power without a doubt.

Here's my stock config w/ the s/c for comparison:

And post install. Will need to get some daytime pics of the exhaust:

Darn. I have the 15x6J rims according to my VIN sticker. When I got the truck it used to have P265 75R15 tires before I got new ones and went down to P235. There's no way it would work even with wheel spacers?

 

Those wheels look really good with the locking hubs.

 

I also saw a couple Sequoias at the local pick n pull. They both had the 13WE calipers. These would be an improvement over stock tacos' calipers, but if I'm paying same amount for calipers I'll hold off until I can get 13WLs at the pick n pull.

 

How did you know you were running rich with stock exhaust?

No way in hell man haha

 

Was getting soot/carbon on the tip.

 

Was hoping you had afr readings.

It's funny because I almost pmed you last week asking to buy the headers haha

Today I got 12 quarts of Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W-30 High Mileage motor oil for $2.83 per quart.

BJ's is selling 6 packs for $28.99 through May 31st. Mobil 1 is running a rebate promotion through May 31st where if you buy 5 quarts or more you receive a $12 rebate (limit 2 per household)

$28.99 X 2 - $24 / 12 = $2.83 qt.

Thought I'd share in case anyone wanted to take advantage of this in it's final week. Online rebate form is easy.

Washed it with soap.... first time this year as there is record amount of rain = free truck wash.

 

That's he only facet keeping me from using this as a bedmat. I like the ease of sliding my action packer totes in and out of the bed.

 

Great deal thanks for sharing.

Im more of a Pennzoil guy myself but been slowly stocking up on Pennzoil for awhile
