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

Yea jon needs new ones haha bigger ones

 

they are the run of the mill ones from auto parts store for like $6 each, I think they were side markers cause they arent very bright and have blown my turn signal fuse once already.. haha

 

Pissed off my neighbors by burning the Seafoam out of my engine. That shit SMOKED thick and white for 40 minutes until I shut her down. Have no idea if it had any positive effects...

 

Thanks! Do you have all stock piping excluding the dump at the axle? What about your cat's?

 

Nah 2.5'' in/out doesn't change it if its just the muffler. If the piping was 2.5'' it would guggle more im sure. Mine does a lot and back fires on downshifts a lot haha

 

Added a 14" Magnaflow.

 

video?

 

Speeds you can only achieve on a closed course.

 

In my '92 pickup xcab V6 Manual the limiter kicked in around 115 MPH
my 2005 DCSB V6 4.0L Manual Sport hit 117 and i ran out of gearing (stupid 35's) so I don't know that it had a limit

 

i cant even get to 100mph..

 

our trucks are 105 mph where the limiter kicks in.

 

Join the club man!

 

Changed spark plugs for the first time....

A 12 extension makes all the difference

 

It was really easy. Just took my time. Magnetic spark socket and long extension ftw.

Although I did carelessly touch the battery which set off a few sparks

 

couple of the plugs suck to get too even with the extension tho. Worth it tho.

 

Awesome idea. I should do something similar.
Don't worry about the welds, the first time I welded something it looked terrible but could hold my weight.

 

I need to do mine bad... I think there the originals

has anyone put pb blaster or wd40 on the base of the plugs im afraid that i might pull the threads out with it

 

Debadged...

 

a little wd40 won't hurt it..but id use it lightly.

 

I like your design. Very cool. The more you weld the better you get. Try and get some pointers from someone. It helps speed up the learning process.

Get some KROIL or PB Blaster. Hit the plugs a couple of days in advance and then right before you change them. When you do change the plugs, do it when the engine is ice cold. As in, hasn't been started that day cold. It works better that way on aluminum heads.
