    Hows it goin'? Been a long time lurker here, finally decided to make an account. This is my second Tacoma, best trucks ever, but you guys already knew that! LoL She's gotten a little beat up over the last few years, (needs a new paint job, but hey its a truck!) she still always gets me where I wanna go. :D

    I bought this truck a few years back with most of the mods I have already on it. Its a 2000, v6 3.4L SR5 4wd TRD model, automatic. , it has a TRD Supercharger, K&N intake, TRD exhaust. Even has some custom leather bucket seats which I've never seen in a taco :cool:

    Swapped out the flashy rims I didn't like with some black alloy KMC's and I just put some new BFG 33x12.5x15 mud terrains on her.

    Never felt like the supercharger was running quite right though and after a lot of research (and to my dismay) I've realized it was never really done correctly. Put a wideband air/fuel meter in it and YIKES! Way too lean... I did recently upgrade the injectors to some larger injectors from a toyota supra - which helped but I kind of regret now after finding out about the 7th injector kit from underdog racing. Its still running really lean. Anyway that's the next project me and my buddy are going to rebuild the supercharger, upgrade the fuel pump, and get some kind of piggyback computer goin. and get her tuned. Still discovering my best options. In the meantime I'm going very easy on the gas pedal hehe.

    Lots of other projects planned, I'm not very handy working on cars but my buddy is all down to help so we're gonna do a new offroad winch bumper, gonna fix the lift somehow (body lift sucks, its cracking at the mounts!), maybe a paint job down the road but getting the engine tuned is my top priority right now.

    Anyway, Nice to meet yall! I'll catch ya around.
