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

Winch is in

 

Nice! Glad to see you got er done. What did you do about the clutch lever?

 

Notched the lever enough to clear the bumper, it's not glamorous but it's functional and extra low profile.

At some point I may cut out the bumper a little bit to make it easier to reach with gloves on

 

Full exterior detail, and installed the T2 tailgate pad.

 

Looks great!

Is your bike's brake rotor is contacting the truck's bumper? Careful with that--rotors can bend easily. Turning the wheel the other way should avoid the risk.

 

A large regret of mine is selling my wheels with those caps. I loved them and they are hard to find

 

Sure is. Good eye! Thanks for the tip. I’ll make sure to switch it up before driving anywhere.

 

Pictures can be deceptive of course but how much area of the trans cooler is it blocking? on getting it to fit.

 

Never thought of draining the fuel that way, used a hand pump like a schlub last time.



Got the valve covers back on finally over the weekend, reman Denso injectors from Motor West and fuel rails installed yesterday, and new coil packs/wires with plugs this morning. Slowly coming back together.

I got her dirty since alll the repairs!

but, it looks like I killed my brake booster haha

What has everyone done to replace theirs since the parts discontinued?

Found a few. But not sure about quality vs. The oem reman (if it's even plausible)

I have an 02 replacement but the bolt holes for the master are 3 and the one on the truck is 4. Figures Toyota mixed and matched.

 

I appreciate how you took the time to color match the bolt heads on the coils.

 

More like an easy way to keep the paint out of the threads

Not enough to concern me. I rarely see the trans get above 150 anyway. it is sitting awfully close though another 16th of an inch and it would be rubbing.

 

Love a good set of painted valve covers. This makes me wish I’d gone blue. Mine are red.

 

Seeing your motor is what gave me the final push lol

 

Yessirrrr!!!!!!

 

Getting ready (in between rain drops) to cut the cowl and seal everything in it to stop the leak. So I can finish the interior. Next on the list is to build a control module out of adruino's to replace the a/c stuff on the dash. It will be a prototype set up just to see if I can get it to work. Voice activated.. Then on to other stuff.

 

Well... this plan seems to be failing.... I now am looking for a camper topper. I can have tools in the back, lock it up and still fit a 4's8' piece of plywood/sheetrock.

now im frustrated, too many things to buy not enough money/time or for sure what the best idea is.

 

Auxito duped my order and sent me 2 more H4 decoders. If anyone needs them, let me know, your for the price of postage.
