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

ah. supra stuff eh?

 

Is that where they were used? I don't know really. They were recommended by SNP where I got the Haltech standalone from.

They should provide plenty of headroom though.

 

Purchased from TEQ Customs with the optional badge. Really quality feel to it and I couldn’t be happier. It took a while to ship, but what doesn’t nowadays?

 

Friend came over yesterday and we both felt motivated, took the bed off, made a new shock x-member, welded shock mounts on, installed shocks, then took the front apart and liberated the sway bar and stock coils for some SAW coilovers.

 

Lost my brakes on the way to work yesterday after my neglect of the obvious warning signs past couple weeks. What a bitch it is to do the rotors and pads

 

It's pretty easy on a 6lug. Not sure if it gets any easier honestly.

 

5 lugs are a ball of joy,



hopefully they last till i cut the front off for new suspension

 

Anyone have a Volant intake and can do me a quick favor? I need to see roughly how much clearance there is to the inner fender on the back outside corner by the cruise control etc.

Added cell phone holder few days ago. Just Popped out the plastic blank plate on dash. Took a Cupholder cell phone type cut it off close base. Added piece rubber for soft spacer between it & plate. Fastened from behind with 3/16 short bolts. Seems hold it fine.

 

Only issue with this spot is the heat will lock your phone up. Turning the closet vent to the passenger side helps keep it from overheating.

 

Yes kind figured that’s exactly why I made it longer si it’s about 3 inches out. Hard tell from angle took pic. I typically put heat on floor after windshield is defrosted anyways…

 

Never had a problem with the heater causing it to shut down my phone. The sun hitting it through the window from being parked has. The AC also cools it from that scenario once you get going. Mine is only maybe 1.5" away from it.

 

I put the new Hayden trans cooler to the test today. Very impressive results. A few spots where I've hit 220°f in the past barely hit 180 this afternoon with 45mph winds I was headed North on I-15 out side of St George back to Cedar City after the dealership told me the couldn't find my evap leak

 

90's ford's have a single pin holding the front calipers in place. That's got the be the easiest brake job I've ever done

 

I did caliper, pads and rotor on both sides in less than an hour last fall. I made a stupid mistake that snow balled into an expensive, couple week job, but it coulda been real quick.

 

I’ve got one but I won’t be home to measure it until tomorrow afternoon. I'll send them tomorrow if you still need it.

 

Sounds like there’s a good story to this?

 

Not really, I put the calipers on the wrong side and thought the booster gave out finally when I couldn’t bleed them haha…

 

Lefty tighty righty loosy.
