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

It took me about 4 days from SF to Moab.

 

Thanks! Was a PAIN in the ass, my fuel trims went super lean early on and it threw a code - to add insult to injury my OBD fuse was blown. I had a spare MAF in the cubby and it fixed it.

 

Lesson learned, the bay area sucks.

 

I got my clutch fluid and trans fluids drained and filled. They were disgusting. If I had to guess they were never done before. Still a good amount of sediment in the clutch fluid but what a big difference in shifting now.

 

Hope to join you next year!

 

how many miles? need to both of mine on the slug sometime later this year

 

Going skidless.

Must not be planning anything tricky?

 

He told me he couldn't figure out how to mount em to the relentless, I just said use a nut and bolt.

 

If he had mounted his cop lights he could have been Trail Marshal.

 

Yep that’s the one thing I regret not doing. It’s been off the truck ever since I did my 4WD swap. I didn’t have the right hardware to mount it to my Relentless bumper so I had to go without it since I was on a time crunch.

I painted them with bedliner and everything ready to go. Instead I cut and buff the fresh clear coat I just sprayed on the roof, you can see where my priorities lay haha

 

Was also on my list. But I couldn’t get the controller into programming mode, I have to turn the cop stuff off. I just wanted to use it to control the amber lights and the spot lights.

It’s a Federal Signal Legend LED wrecker special, and a Federal Signal SmartSiren SS2000.

 

Did you bring it with you by chance? I have a box with a bunch of random nuts and bolts with my tool kit, we could make it work

 

Lol I should’ve brought it. Left it in the driveway.

 

Eh if it was the factory skid it's pretty much useless anyway. I have my old Budbilt I was going to bring for Nelson but he decided to pick it up from my place later on, too bad I didn't bring it. Should mount up to your relentless bumper just fine

 

Factory skids protect the radiator tank better than air

 

True. And the oil pan from road debris. Not gonna do much though if you come down on the factory skid on a rock on the trail.

 

They're pretty stout, I hit a piece of driftwood going like 40 at 3am

I was high enough to just get bumped by it buy my stock buddy following me got high centered and stopped on it

 

Fear not, for I have Flex Seal.

 

Well I wouldn't worry too much. Though the radiator maybe could be an issue.

I've done a lot of shit with no skids. So just don't be dumb and you'll be fine.
