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

Love the rum ham sticker

 

Assumed that some of them were from here. Saw your rig up chocolate thunder earlier in the day. Truck looks good!

 

Thanks!
Rad you made it out there.
and I thought my 7 hour drive down was tiring....

 

I’ll be interested to see how close you get to the bumper wings on that Coastal rear when you jump to 35s.

I have the same kit holding down my parts shelf, so I haven’t been able to check it with my 315s yet…

 

Yeah it was a haul down there and back. Taking several small breaks help make it seem shorter. We left the insanity on Friday and bombed up to bishop which left us a nice 10 hr drive yesterday. Well worth it for us!

We didn't have radios or internet but did the 4400 not run back door at all either!? Looked like lap three they all were hitting the bypass after Resolution. Wonder what they were thinking with that one

 

Is that over the shell rack DIY? Looks great.

 

Bah..

Vatozone tested the Battery and alternator. Both are fine. Im guessing it has to be an electrical gremlin.

All the grounds are good or so it seems.
Battery > frame
Battery > engine
Firewall > head
Lower plenum > ecu?

Any more I'm missing I should be checking?

 

What’s the battery voltage?

I’d check the grounds and definitely check the positive Wire from battery to starter.

 

I'd be interested in some more details on the foot well lights. What kind of lights did you use and how did you wire them in?

 

Pos to starter is good
Electrical connector is also good (at least as far as I can see)
12.4-12.1v pre start
14.1v running
It's 99% topped off

Are there any more grounds I need to check I hadn't already?

 

Ya that's a good way to break up the drive.

Yea from my understanding, backdoor was optional for all classes but I dunno forsure on the 4400 guys.

 

Got the new scheel-mann seats installed, and a few thousand miles on them now. So far, pretty good.

Looks like you covered them all. So after you rebuilt the starter, there was no change? Then you replaced the starter with no change?

 

Scary when the thing that is designed as a safety switch just turns on by itself.

 

Correct.
I'm really good at installing and pulling starters now haha

 

Could do the big 3 upgrade and see if that makes a difference

 

Well, no need; that's already been done.

 

Looks like you will need to cut a hole in the floor an power that thing fled flintstone style

 

For the flats and always park on a hill to bump start it

I might swap my terminals on the battery. I tightened them up and it started... after not.
Anyone got some good options for the "shit ton" of accessories category?
