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

there clearly is a gap now that I put the sun to it

I had a gap similar to this when I cleaned mine. but I have no kind of codes showing up, and my idle is just fine. Would this make my gas milage go down, because that's the only issue I'm having right now. Engine runs fine, Rpms are good and the transmission shifts good. My milage has gone down about 3-4 mpg in the last couple of months. I know winter gas causes lower mpg's but was wondering about the TB gap.

 

There should be a gap

 

First stop done



Stopped at Trail Gear and did a road side install of a new Vehicle Speed Sensor adapter.

 

washer fluid reservoir inlet cracked, applied epoxy to it rather than spending $50 on a new one.

 

Rust repair I've done myself but all of those sound equally as terrifying

 

I'm going to try to do a compression test this weekend and check cam phasing and shim clearances. It sounds like there's no reason I should be getting the mileage I am unless there's something seriously wrong.
Realistically I get about 12mpgs now (or less), city.

 

Anyone know if I leave my Jackery240 plugged to car battery while car is off will it ddain my battery dead or does it have a built in sysytem where it protects the battery?

 

I bought a spare from ebay junkyard in San Diego. It worked so well I haven't sent my old one to Maxbore yet.

 

Damn zombies.

 

I find a chainsaw and splitter axe is the best for me. But I enjoy splitting wood while I’m out camping

 

I changed the oil & filter

 

Looks great dude!

 

There is something just almost therapeutic about chopping wood while camping. Add a beer in between chops, and it’s heaven haha.

 

YEP!

 

Chopping wood warms you twice.

 

I dunno, I believe the chopping warms you, but I've witnessed your fires, there was no warmth to be found.

 

Made some progress on the air to water intercooler setup. Still some mount brackets and wiring the pump to something that on when the truck is running.

 

It doesn't count if you don't post it in here right? Lol. I didn't take pics during install, but got the tundra upgrade done. The truck does stop A LOT better! I used oem pads and rotors, reman napa eclipse calipers, and the conversion line kit from the guys who makes them here. Great upgrade for ~$400 imo.

 

Well, the wife saw them and loves em. I think they'll end up on her 4runner now lol.
