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

Do tell..

Lol that's some shitty welding too

 

Nearly done with my project

 

New tires,

 

sounds like you may have found your issue.

 

Not much to tell, SpeedHut is a company that will pretty much make you any gauge you request. They even have templates for you to edit in PS or hand draw what you want. I custom mixed one of theirs that I liked the look of already and had them change the bezel, font, and add a TRD logo. Pretty simple, they're based out of and build the gauges in Orem, UT so you can talk to a real English speaking person about what you want.

 

I bought the same ones. Had to trim the lip near the outer seat track, kept kicking it while getting in...became too annoying.

 

Can I get some more info on your platform? I'm in the early stages of building mine, would love to compare designs

 

+1 to this id like to build another

 

What wheels are you running? Can't tell if they're steelies or alloy

 

I cut a square hole n folded it up like a door, it was big enough to disconnect the lines n n pull the pump n sending unit out. When I was done I just closed the door n put a few tack welds n silicone to seal it.

 

Is this boot being ripped on the bpv an issue ? Just noticed it after a few years

 

Because race truck

 

Level 8 Trackers from Discount Tire. They are aluminium

Here’s a better picture of them from when they were on my runner.

 

When your gauge pod game is on point...

 

Nah

 

Your missing some zip ties! White ones of course wouldn’t want black ones that would blend into the gauge better. That things sweet!

 

Only 2 complaints I have about my speedhut gauges. 1-the backlighting at night whines faintly, can get annoying. 2-on cold starts the boost gauge usually reads .5psi. Only zeroes out on warm starts.

 

Yeah I know the EL wire drivers can make some noise, basically mini high frequency flourescent ballasts. Strange about the cold start measures but I know mine opens the throttle plate enough for the SC to make a little boost on a cold start so it might be accurate.

 

Mine does it before the truck even starts. I turn the key and allow my gauges to zero before starting.

 

Replaced front and rear Ujoints with Forged Moog ones. Problem solved
