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

Man I'm jealous. Where you mounted the fuse block and mounting plate is where the charcoal canister is on my '98. There's no place for me to put anything.

 

I need to run to the junkyard and pull a temperature sensor, and a wiring pigtail to solder wires to. You would tap into your map light circuit for power, or straight to the fusebox.

You can buy complete plug and play kits on eBay with everything you need for like $80 dollars. I recommend you get these kits instead of what I did so it would make your life a 100 times easier since it has all the wiring, mounts, taps, and everything. It's just that the plug-n-play kits don't have homelink, temperature, and compass in the configuration I wanted.

 

Installed Bilstein 4600 shocks on the rear. The truck seems to ride a lot better I can't wait to get the front ones installed.

 

Likely, you can confirm by swapping the 'bad' coil pack with one of your good coil packs and see if the DTC follows to where you put that 'bad' coil pack. Also, don't by an aftermarket coil pack from your local vatozone or whatever. You can get an OEM Denso coil pack on Amazon for like 60 bucks, I think the cheap parts stores coil packs are like 80 something bucks.

 

I replaced the washer cap. Hey, it's the little things

 

If I remember correctly, I saw someone mount theirs on top of the existing fuse box, but I'm not sure if it would clear the hood or not.

 

Lol, I picked one up at the pick n pull yesterday for my old man's 1994 Nissan Hardbody or pickup, whatever.

 

Washed the truck yesterday since it was so nice. Soon the house/garage will be its permanent home for a few years!

 

That is one good looking taco amigo. I don't think I've noticed pics of it before, pretty sure I'd remember it if I had

 

No 7th injector for me since that's exactly where the EGR plugs into (California life)...I've thought about adding some meth but honestly, it's my daily and I already have a weekend canyon carver with a lot more power so it's fine for me.

I just have the 2002+ Injectors and iridium spark plugs. No issues at all with about 170k on the s/c. I did replace the rear bearings though a few thousand miles ago.

 

Did the same today washed it coat of cleaner wax then coat of black wax then a top coat of mequirs

 

You sure you wanna go down that road? I've heard addiction to that stuff can be a real bitch. Lmao

 

Love the look on these first gens with a fresh coat of wax, also love the look of them covered in dirt and mud.... I think I just plain love the look of first gens

 

Damn straight.

 

Got my Tundra brake up grade done today, new rotors, calipers and Wheelers brake lines.
Also replaced both CVs and ordered new boots to rebuild the old ones.

 

Daaayyyuuuummmm, love it! You're not wasting any time on your build are ya? Very nice

 

Been waiting a long time for all my mods, glad to finally get them done.

 

Oh had you waited? Didn't realize, awesome to see so much done so quickly. Jelly bro.

 

Got the CEL read. P302 Cylinder #2 misfire... Just had the knock sensors replaced so hopefully when it was torn apart it was from that. Will look at tomorrow. While I was waiting for the engine to cool, got tired of looking at the faded fender flares... Busted every damn clip for them Doing Duplicolor bed armor on them tomorrow. Gotta order some new clips and weather stripping tonight. Better before and after pics later.

 

Tundra upgrade is on my short list once the Icons and suspension work is done.
