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

It's the heat exchanger haha you have to plumb it into the coolant. Has a radiator in it that the water for the shower flows over and gets warm.

 

words

 

The only reason you installed it is for the slight chance you might see Monte shower next to/on your truck.

Next thing you know you're going to be cranking White Snake from the stereo trying to recreate a cheesy 80s music video.

 

Haaa, no whitesnake for me thanks...Im heading to Utah for 2 weeks with dirt bikes, so it seemed logical

 

Do you have a link to this device?

 

Personally i would not have ran that one hose directly on top of my intake manifold.. Anyways it looks like you even put a mixing valve in there definitely a nice install.

 

Plasti dipped my front and rear bumper and finished up turn signal trim. Here are some pics of progress and will get more today. My fiancé puts up with me doing all this and is actually really good at taping things up.

 

^ That's quite a change. Were your bumpers rusty at all, or were you just changing the look

 

yikes...I did that with my pre runner..taped it all up....When I got my 4x4, I just took everything off...makes painting ALOT easier....Looks way better now! Good job!

 

Dude! That is awesome! Nice work!

 

I finally filled my rear bumper toolbox with some supplies.
-135 piece tool set
-24 piece metric and sae wrench set
-extendable lug wrench and assortment of sockets
-6 piece pliers set
-8 piece screwdriver set
-wheel chocks
-20 foot tow strap
-valve stem core tool and 4 cores
-lugnut keys
-2 supercharger belts
-12 foot jumper cables

There's still room to fit more tools, and if I decide to lose the tool set case, there will be plenty more room.

 

Looks badass. What part of VA are you in?

 

Went and got my new tires slapped on today. This was the best pic I could get. I was in a bit of a hurry to get out of there. 285/75/16 Duratracs.

The 265/75/16's are now for sale!

 

any trimming?

 

Ordered my Tru cool 4454, going to be bypassing the factory cooler. Going to be ordering the big three upgrade stage one soon. My terminal leads are worn out so I figured why not. No plans on other electrical upgrades.

 

None yet. I just drove it from the shop straight back to work, and didn't have any rubbing. I'm going to do a little more testing when I get back to the house.

 

sweet, looks good.

 

You're going to have to trim and pound the hell out of it. I run 305 65r17 and they are almost identical in size and I had to get in there with a BFH and I run a 1"body lift.

 

BEAST

 

Really? Just from eyeballing it it looks like I may have some minor trimming, but that's about it. It doesn't look like it's going to contact the pinch welds at the fire wall. But I guess I'll see for sure when I get home. What lift are you running?
