DALLAS PEEPS??

I was all up in your town today but didn't see any unknown tacos

 

Hey Dallas Peeps! Picked up my first Tacoma back in December and love the truck so far. Here's a pic from a couple weeks ago at Bridgeport.

 

Anyone have a crimper I can borrow? Need to make some switch backs.

Maybe I missed it but who is going to the toyota jamboree in may

 

Check the jambo thread, I just asked the same question.

 

I have there but didn't know who all from the DFW area

 

The club putting it on Toyota Trail Riders is based in DFW so quite a few. @tgormtx @chodaman54 are the former president and current president of the club. There's a few peeps coming from DFW.

 

Any of you people ever done the custom car grills insert into their grill? I've got it all apart and cut, but at a loss as why it won't fit. Unless I need to cut more. Would like a 2nd set of eyes on it if possible

 

I'm hoping to, but looks like that's an army weekend.

 

I've never done the grill but post up a pic or I can come by during the week, I roll through rockwall to and from work most days

 

Not the most exciting pics yet, but I'm stoked.

Got a great deal on an ARB from a member down in Houston, having it installed tomorrow.
Just need to pay some bills and get me a winch eventually.

 

Well shit, lucky you. Where was it listed?

 

With what goal in mind?

 

You know I will.

It was down in Houston, had to make a quick trip but it was still close to half price. Seems there is quite a bit more on Craigslist in Houston as opposed to here.

 

Someone call my name? lol Have questions about Jambo? Do not fear, I am here

 

I am always down that area and saw him too. I live 15 minutes from there

 

I have the insert...


I did the homer taco grill cut out method and placed the insert in to that cut out. i used zip ties to hold it in place and used GOOP to mount it.

Read through the threads in the URD forum, lots of good info backed by dyno runs. Long tubes lose the forward cats and are generally not CARB legal and will require O2 simulators. Short tubes keep the forward cats and may be CARB legal depending on brand.

Acording to dynos, URD equal length long tube for gains throughout the RPM range. Thorley long tubes for top end gains but at the expense of low end. Thorley short tubes have less gains but no losses. Other companies short and long should be similar but there is less dyno info availabke to compare.

I personally am on the fence about pulling the trigger on a DT short and a URD y pipe but the performance increases are small for a grands worth of upgrades that can be spent elsewhere. My truck is more for crawling and the power increases aren't the best use of money.
