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

He said about everything on his truck lol.

Christmas came early this year. Luckily I have a 4 day weekend coming up. Looks like this holiday will be Labor-Cost-Free-Day Weekend for me. Thanks to LCE and @gunny1005!



Does anyone know what doors will fit an extra cab - double / reg? I know I've read it before, but couldn't find it when I searched. Got some sound deadener in and don't want to spend the time on my current doors if I can find some ones with no / less dents and updated interior panels. Thank you!

 

Now...That's a sick rig!!!

 

Thanks man

 

Aww. Thanks boss

@ClevSix
I can still use Dropbox but I will have to go back through and recreate photo links using their new link sharing method.

 

Where do those discs come from and are those calipers bolt-on?

 

Willwood calipers and spidertrax rotors and hats. Calipers are not bolt on, had to make brackets, and i had to machine out the id of the hat just a tad to clear

 

I very much wonder the performance difference between those compared to 13WL's.

 

I only have a few build threads that will be affected by the Dropbox change. Until the dead photo links are recreated (if ever) I have printed the first few pages of each thread to a PDF and put the link at the top of the thread OP.

LCA Bushings
VLED corner pod conversions
DIY wheel well liners
Total Chaos outboard shock mounts
MG Starter and DCP Alternator

 

did you disconnect a motor mount or anything?

 

So ever since I did my valve cover gaskets I have had a random CEL for a P0340 code, Google indicates that this is a camshaft position sensor malfunction for bank 1, is there any wiring that runs over/near the valve cover for that sensor? I feel like the most likely issue is a loose wire or short, I can reset the CEL and sometimes it comes right back and sometimes it'll stay off for weeks before coming back, there have been 2 or 3 instances where I've actually had loss of power/throttle response but it's very rare and I regain throttle in a few seconds or less.

 

I got my OEM radiator today and ended up with someone else's rejected junk from back in June. It's even marked on the box with the Toyota label that it's a crushed return. I'm beyond pissed.

 

Both sides one at a time.

 

Added some lights and power outlets in the shell.

 

Where'd you order it from?

 

If they don't make this right I will out them. They should have noticed the defect label it's right next to the S/O label. I've seen rads with 300k they don't have as many mangled fins that this thing has

 

That hood looks sick. Did you buy it with the scoop and vents, or is it a custom job?

Finally found a tool chest that would fit in my bed when I eventually add a roll bar. All the tool chests made specifically for this are for mid-size trucks, could never find a tool chest that would clear the wheel wells.

Turns out a trailer tongue box works perfectly. Has way more space than my old crossover toolbox did. I have more space than I know what to do with.

What do you guys keep in your boxes?

 

I keep a ton of crap that used to me in my back seat and floor boads in my tool box and then some extra stuff I didn't have room for before... Oh yeah and stickers

Basically I have a box of tools, a milk crate full of bungies and straps, a tarp, zip ties, two tire irons, a mini bat, jumper cables, a quart of mobil1, a funnel, couple pairs of work gloves and safety glasses, some oil rags, shammie towels, a tire plug kit, an umbrella.

I think that about covers it. I didn't have a current pic of the stickers or inside the tool box. Maybe I'll get one tomorrow.

 

More paper towels and at least one more box of kleenex.

jk. That's a good place to carry extra fluids, recovery gear if you're into that, ratchet straps, stuff like that. Can you fit a short shovel, hatchet, etc in there?

 

I blow through boxes of kleenex like crazy. literally. Damn pollen...

I do need to get some recovery gear though. There's lots of room I'm sure I could fit some shovels and hand tools in there, might even make a platform to have 2 levels.
