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

Did a big time MOD to get some big time Hp...

 

BOOM! +10 Hp!!! Thanks Bob!

 

Picked up some goodies for her

 

Came back from class to one of my toolboxes opened up. Some piece of shit helped themselves to a couple hundred dollars worth of my snatch-blocks.

 

^^ that sucks man, you cant trust anyone these days!!!!!!

 

Seafoam is a waste of money

 

Tinted the windows over the weekend parked next to a stock taco

Picked up 2 qts of synthetic at to do the p's pump and a pcv

 

LOL I used to say the same until I actually used it one time plus its been a while since I used it last straight into the lines

 

Meh, nothing more than snake oil IMO.

 

Yea, I'm just to used to living in the middle sticks where its not a problem. Can't wait to be done with college and not living in town any more. To many worthless pieces of shit in close proximity to me and my stuff haha.

 

Sorry about getting your shit stolen man. It honestly is the worst feeling. I had my street bike taken from me and it tore me up.

 

Have you tried it ?, I don't believe it improves anything with regular use I just use it to clean the inside of my intake manifold and motor out once a year

 

For kicks I have m on my 92 pickup. Only thing it did was make some smoke. I find it hard to believe that using any product, letting it sit in your engine for like 15-20 minutes, and then running it will "clean" out the inside of your engine. If your valves are covered with crap, tb is full of crap, etc there is some underlying issue causing this. I.e.incomplete combustion, pcv/ evap system not working etc...

I guess it could dissolve a little bit of some build-up, but I call shenanigans that it does much of anything. It's a solvent, sure it'll dissolve a little bit of carbon build-up. Beyond that is worthless IMO.

 

That sucks and this is why I'm saving up for a tool box. I have everything behind the seat just asking to be stolen.

 

May the snatch block fail during their recovery and inflict serious pain upon them or their vehicle.

 

I temporarily mounted my TRD boost gauge with some shit mounting tape and tired to run the boost line out the back between where the gauge pod meets the pillar (did not drill hole in pillar). I woke up this morning to my boost gauge hanging down by the boost line. I decided after class it was time to mount this thing correctly (remove pillar, drill hole, mount with molding tape, run wires to light up the gauge, run line and wires through hole BEHIND the pillar, etc..). This turned out great!

Clamped down pod to pillar and let it bond while doing all the other work.


Installed connectors on the gauge wires so it can be removed without having to pull any wiring out with it.


Used an Add-a-circuit to tap into the tail light circuit. This enabled my gauge light to come on with my dash lights.


Finished product.


Cool/funny stickers

 

It's been some time since I really posted. .
Just ordered a Wheelers Off-road front and rear suspension kit.
881's old man emu shocks and Dakar rear springs.
Plus all the required parts to make it a complete kit.
I am tired of 10 bags of mulch at the home depot killing my ride.
I have been into my home renovation with little or no money to spare.
I saved up. Damn I can't wait. Its going to be Christmas in April.

 

put some things on...


cut a few off haha



what a difference some new rubber can make!!

Off road they were outstanding! very grippy on the rocks and in the muddy spots and the extra height was noticeable.
I had them at 22psi in the back and 24 in the front but could have gone waaay lower if I needed to.

On the road (33/35psi) they are quite a bit louder than my ATs and a little rough/vibes , but IMO this is entirely due to the fact that two of them, the front two, I picked up used, and have uneven tread wear.
The rear two seam to be very smooth. These will be my fun tires and I'm gonna rock the 265/75 Wardens as a DD so I'm not too worried about the on-road ride.

As you can see I had to do some additional trimming to the fender flares but nothing too severe. Even at full lock they don't rub on the frame. With the Spidertrax I have a 3.25" BS

 

Yeah but it is fun to make all that smoke
