What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

But running rich is a common cause for cats being ruined right? But that's reassuring, already started looking around for cats in case out of panic haha, damn Im jealous of people working remote

 

Running rich for 1 minute isnt going to cause any issue. Cars cyle between rich and lean thousands of times while driving.

Running rich on start up is different from a maxed out fuel trim because of an injector or regulation issue.

 

In secondary air only runs on cold ECT temps anyway, once cats heat up and can burn on their own it doesnt use it.

 

Out of curiosity for science, how long does that take? Curious about the whistle on startup, which I thought was the SAI but that's just for a few seconds right?

Edit: I'm also an industrial designer but only recently got into the nitty gritty of combustion a couple years back, so I love learning about these things

 

Ive never heard one run longer than 10 seconds. On toyotas or volkswagens

 

I replaced them due to not reading what soever after I replaced them this is the code I show now. I’ve checked all lines and inspected hoses for a vacuum leak but nothing. Plugs and coil packs have been replaced as well.

 

Good news! I brought my truck in this morning to see about changing the rear wheel bearings. Turns out they aren't bad and neither are my front I was planning on replacing soon. But my tires on the other hand!!! I knew a lot of sound was coming from them but I guess its all coming from them. I am due for a new set but I thought it was way to loud to just be my tires.

Also this weekend I got a couple pending codes on my Ultragauge. P0012 and P0022. So money saved on rear bearings will go to Oil control valves instead.

 

Damn, this is one of those cases that I wouldn’t advice on change this change that since, it’s going to be electrical/physical in nature. You know, Locke checking resistance of components, continuity on wiring, etc, etc.

 

I swapped out my camping scene lights.
I used to have 6 rock lights around the rack. I now have 4 small 2" pod lights.

Went from this:



To this:








I hope to have some night output pictures soon!

 

van top 10", they make a 12" too

 

Got sliders installed.


They're the Body Armor 4x4 Revo Rock Sliders from Extreme Terrain

 

I like that bumper. Nice one. Did you catch the weight on it by chance? I wouldn't mind a bumper like that one day, but I would need it rated for towing.

 

You will not find an aftermarket bumper rated, although any of the good ones will be stronger than oem, fabricators don't have time to deal with getting stuff rated

 

That's good to know. Makes sense. Thanks

 

who is this dude you speak of? Looking for a new rear bumper.

 

Have any pictures from the side? Looks great

 

Anyone have a picture of the green auto switches? I bought the white ones and installed them and they're nice, but I think I may be more interested in the green ones. Trying to get an idea of how well they match the stock switch color. It's beginning to bother me having mismatched colors, and the white keeps catching my eye while driving at night.

 

Moved my weboost to roof rack. Going to paint bracket black. Swivels nicely with a little force!

 

I drove to work.

Was bummed I didn't wash the truck on Monday.. Guess that was lucky. This job site is deep in the brush.

 

Quick little 15 min. Project. You only need an angle grinder with a cutting disc and a welder for a couple of tacks. Seen people paying for stuff that already have.
