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

You got me, I have a SC 2.7, you guys have a much larger stock air filter and from what I hear just a more direct intake pipe and AFE Dry filter performs nicely. If you have a Scangauge or UG you can check how much air you're flowing through your MAF in G/s and convert to CFM

 

From what I remember all the fittings on that ARB gun are BSP so finding them might lead you to far away Amazon sellers. But I'm sure you can dig up a nice gauge (maybe fluid filled) and oiling the trigger might help it seal. @turbodb lengthened his but maybe he changed the gauge too I don't remember.

Also did some thing super lame today, finally retuned my sound system in the truck. Now it sounds balanced again and that's something haha.

 

I don't have a scan gauge. It really seems like I need to get one. Thanks for the reply bud.

 

Got to 265k today, my ol gray betch is getting old asf....

I wonder how hard it would be to put a 3.4L air box in a 2.7 bay.... and if there would any performance benefit from it

 

I wonder if the 2.7 MAF is the same shape to fit the 3.4 box.

 

Well depending on the year of the 3.4 box you could probably mount the 2.7 MAF to it, just need the right size hole and the four mounting bolts. If anyone had a spare 3.4 box I'd try it, I have a spare MAF already I could try bolting to it.

Went wheeling today and had a god awful popping sound coming from my rear end when flexing over bumps, ruts, rocks, etc. Looked it over briefly on the trail and couldn't figure it out.

Got home and took a closer look and noticed that the bolt holding my drivers side leaf pack to the front hangar was holding on by 2 threads, I could remove it by hand. Got really lucky.

Unfortunately, that's the one bolt I couldn't get a torque wrench on when installing my Dakars last month because it sits only an inch or so from the gas tank...can only get a hand wrench on it. Put a generous amount of blue loctite on it tonight and tightened it as much as I could by hand, gonna have to keep an eye on it. That could've been bad.

 

Did you hit up Hollister this weekend? You should definitely put that skid back on before you do any wheeling...even though the stock skid is about as sturdy as a soda can its way better than having nothing there at all

 

Has anyone tried one of these yet? I saw it at the 4WP Truckfest a couple of months ago. I like the color.

Guy I wheel with has something like that but ARB brand if I remember right. Might be the same one. He Installed it with his dual ARB compressor. I used it to air up and it was pretty sweet.

 

I am not looking. Nothing wrong with the one I have. That digital gauge was $47 at Truckfest.

 

Huh that's weird the analog one still costs $24 at 4WP, the digital one might be nice if I ever break my analog one. But I have a couple blow gun triggers from anpast project so I might just make one that holds itself haha.

 

Screw that. One more freaking battery to worry about in the truck.

Analog gauge all day.

 

Just got back from driving like a child trying to figure out some tuning related nonsense. I found a gas station near my house that serves 100octane so might have to mix it with some 91 and see what 95 gets me.

 

Almost pulled a third gen

 

Theirs a gas station near me that has racing fuel 101 octane. $8 a gallon
