Ventura County Tacomas

Where do you guys meet? Sounds cool. For skid plates, I did my own and I was pretty much trying to mimic the ones from Cali Raised.

 

They have a facebook group and they meet in Simi valley. I wish I had the knowledge and the place to make my own lol.

 

just check ind anyone is interested in a set of new in the box KMC TECHNIC in Anthracite color size 17x8.5 with zero off set
A set of brand new MAXXIS RAZR AT 265/70R17 including a black locking lug nuts to complete the look
Price is $2200 and comes mount and balanced. need to just get what i paid for since I can't return them
Located in Oxnard CA

 

Where are the 805'ers? Let's go!

 

Sorry for the newbie question but who tunes the 1st gens with Supercharger, TRD ECUs, and 7th injectors? I have read somewhere that the 2001's can't be tuned, is this true? I kinda new to the taco's, all I see is tunes for 2nd and 3rd gens. TIA!

 

Most of the 1st Gen stuff uses piggyback ECUs and what not, the newer stuff we can use the existing ECU etc.

 

Gotcha. So the TRD piggyback ECU comes with its own program that's pretuned. Can it be retuned? I feel like this is why my truck didn't pass smog. Kept saying the catalyst monitor wasn't ready. Has a URD decoder on the back o2. Maybe the tune deletes the rear cat so the URD decoder is there to not throw a check engine light? Smog guy kept telling me to drive it to get the cat hot. Drove it for an hour and the catalyst monitor was still not ready, everything else was ready to go. I removed the URD decoder and got code p0420. Maybe I just need new cats. Truck is under 100k so I find it weird if the cats have gone bad so soon. will be up for a smog in a year or so Any knowledgable shops you guys recommend? Don't mind driving an hour or two. Thanks guys/gals

 

Do you have all the CARB legal stickers and components to make that truck legal? Cats burn out, it happens... might have to replace them... might not. Maybe a bad O2 sensor as well? Check those. Good luck!

 

I believe I have the sticker for the air intake, SC, Header, and one in the gas door. I also replaced both upstream and downstream o2. Thanks for the info brotha

 

Glad to see some more tacos in the area!

Here's my 1st gen.

 

Nice rig bro

 

Awesome looking truck!

 

Any interest in another meetup at the collections?
Last month Ricardo13x set it up and a few showed interest.
This month it would be this Sunday the 20th at 4pm. In the corner by Whole Foods against the big wall.
A great opportunity to share ideas, learn something from eachother and best of all getting eyes on your rigs in person!
Interested?

If you are but are unable please mention (instead of just not showing). Or if you have a better idea, place or time please feel free to comment.

 

Anyone going, I might not be able to make it do to house shores fellas. Please let me know what arises. Cheers.

 

Don’t think anyone is interested. Can’t say we didn’t try!

 

Thanks Guys!

Sorry for the lag I was out of town for work.

Wouldn't mind doing a meet up at the collection sometime soon though.

 

That’s all it takes. Just a few guys to agree on time and place.

Thanks for commenting.

 

I’ll be here this Sunday

 

Big bear is getting snow Friday and Saturday, so I might head up there Sunday for a quick snowboard day trip...

 

I can come this Sunday but since Grimm30 wants to come but will be out of town should we wait?

What’s it going to take to get some Tacoma guys and girls from the 805 together? I know Mannydc5 wants to come. And I really want to get eyes on Grimm30’s nice looking truck.

Ideas anyone?
