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

Dropping it off today

 

What made you decide to grind the calipers instead of the wheels?

 

I dunno, I suppose that's an option. There's only a small section of the D windows that contacts the caliper and I would think it would be more difficult to get it consistent. You'd have to do it to all the wheels and the degree to which they hit driver/passenger side caliper might not be the same. Not sure why, but the wheels didn't contact my passenger side caliper, but it was pretty bad on the driver side.
It was fast and super easy, I took so little off that I'm not concerned about them at all, so no regrets.

 

I gotcha... and yeah, man, that's super weird!

 

This thing is pretty cool I probably won't install it until spring

 

Nice! How much $$?

 

Nice I want one of those!!

I'd guess 300-500

 

More like 750

 

Went on a short Russell Gulch trip with my Pops! His is the ext cab. Good time!

 

It was $800.00 and then I bought the $150.00 transit bag

I was owed some money and this was an easy way to get payment. IDK if it is worth it or not. I'll figure it out in the spring/summer. I'm sure it's better than losing $1K

 

Where do you put it in your truck?

 

Back seat or bed. Have to wire a 12v plug somewhere though.

 

I have a DC so I'll wire it up in the back seat. I think I'm going to ditch the rear seats and install a spare battery and battery isolator back there under the fridge. I'll try and use the rest of the space for dry and secure cargo.

I was caught a bit under-prepared for Superstorm Sandy so with the ARB, I hope to have refrigeration during the next extended power outage. It also runs on 110V AC so it's pretty versatile.

 

Don't for the love mou t a battery in your cab.

Keep it in the bay or bed. Batteries give off hydrogen gas..not a ton..but still..wouldn't do it.

 

Replaced my decals today.

 

I agree, planning on a sealed AGM battery. I should have said that

 

Let me know how good it is.. I will be in the market soon for one.

 

A local speed shop had a benefit for the shop owner who was injured in a car accident and was doing a dyno day. So I went ahead and got my baseline dyno done today. Now I just need to get the 7th injector so I can install the s/c sitting in my spare room! Lol.

Put down 157hp @ 4100rpm and 228 ft lbs @ 2950rpm
(It already had a Volant intake and magnaflow cat back on it though)

 

Yikes 33hp under what they advertised..torque is great tho. Will be interesting to see the SC
