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

truck is looking sick bro, I'm digging the antler grill emblems

 

wheeled the bitch yesterday


added a reverse light/bed light today

 

can't see your pic (damn gov computers)

but I wheeled mine yesterday too

 

Looks like your truck is about to pack a lippie or something.

 

Thanks man My wife says it looks stupid...lol..what do women know right


are you talking about doing it like this? (white truck)

 

Yes! Very similar to that!

The reason being I may do a custom winch mount behind the factory bumper, instead of buying a whole new bumper. I saw another member here do it, and it looked really clean.

 

yea i remember seeing that. doesnt look to bad at all

 

LOL, damn it!


Sorry

 

Almost done installing the frontrunner rack. Still have to put on the feet and mount it to the tracks.

 

Got These,



and this.



gettin it all installed this Saturday.

 

just messin' with you

 

Just got UPS Ship Notification

ETA April 30th.

 

Nice Truck! where in texas are you located?

 

Just placed my order with URD for the 7th injector kit, 2.2 pulley, and 170 thermostat.

 

oh my....

 

Had a muffler shop bore out the 3 threads on the end of the manifold that bolt up to the 1st cat converter. I stripped them yesterday, so I needed professional help! Anyway, got the Magnaflow California grade cats and new O2 Sensors mounted up. Sounds a tad throatier but I was hoping for lower temps per my Ultra Gauge. That didn't happen, temps are still in the 204*-208* range, maybe 210* every now and again if I've been driving the truck all day it might hit 210* once. I checked by hand for leaks but didn't feel anything. Would a leak cause high temps like I have?

Now I'm going to have to do the thermostat jiggle valve mod. Hopefully that will bring my temps down a little. Maybe a new T-stat while I am in there, although the T-stat in there now is only 10 months old. Maybe I should get a 170* thermostat and make sure the Jiggle Valve is at the 6:00 position.

I do feel that lost power has been restored after the new cats. I was getting the P0420 code quite often recently. Before I'd get the P0420 code once a month, if that. But since it was occurring about once a week and I had the diagnosis done which came back with bad O2 sensor which caused a bad cat. conv., I figured it was time to refresh the trucks exhaust.

 

Nice. Seems like those dakar leafs have been back ordered forever..

 

If they are led, just go to the taillight harness for the power and ground them to the bumper. You won't overdraw the wiring and it took me about 3 minutes this way.

 

Yup, just use the power that goes to the OEM reverse bulb as the wire that tells the relay for the aux lights when to turn on.
