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

Installed the little rubber cushions on the center console. Thanks to those who found the part number!

 

Throwing any codes?

Sounds like mine did when I had a torn spark plug boot. The spark was coming out the side of the boot on one causing a misfire. Replaced the plug wires and problem solved.

 

Didn't realize @crashnburn80 was also local.

I'd be happy to provide my set for testing; would even provide the truck to test them in if necessary, hahaha. We could get all the data on the OSRAM 90/100s as well, and with clear(er) headlight housings.

Before/After the Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit:

 

Didn't do EURO style housings huh?

 

I don't even know what those are. These are still my 20 year old OEM housings; I pulled them out to more easily clean them in a warm house, hahahaha.

 

Oh okay, I thought you went with new ones.



Just changes from the old style segmented focusing lens to the newer style segmented focusing reflector

Referred to EURO style because they approved it before US did

 

Thank you so much! Not throwing up any codes but I’ll check that out... if anyone has any other ideas please let me know

 

But we will never know the outcome of fluid film vs. wool wax experiments.

 

check your grounds. The engine grounds and chassis grounds. Especially if you got rid of some.

 

Glad I could point you in the right direction. I still get confused sometimes when it comes to certain electrical circuits. Floating grounds are one of them.

 

Finally got the eBay snorkel on, the kit comes with rivets for the upper brace, but my rivet gun was too wide to fit with the way the brace was angled so I used 8/32 rivet nuts instead

 

Yup this

 

yes that was one of my first thoughts as well but everything seems to be well grounded. Is there anythings else that could randomly cause misfiring? is there a sure way to diagnose the problem even though im not getting any codes?

 

I had to buy a safari one before these came out

 

You and me both

 

Hahaha I was just too cheap to get those ones

 

Well made some progress on my first attempt on a mounting bracket for the

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100 and buss bars.

Little vice bender thing worked good. Found some limitations of it, mainly how big the thing is I'm bending and how it hits the vice, but worked good overall.











Also put my first nutsert in. Had to move my washer bottle to get it to seat fully but worked good. M8 was almost perfect size just had to make it a touch bigger with the drill
















But now I'm having second thoughts on placing it there.


It would just be much nicer if it was on the driver side. Shorter wire runs and be more direct.

I thought I wouldn't be able to fit it there but I think I could make a bracket that would fit in this kind of configuration.




Just have to move the canister closer to the Master cylinder.

It would be nicer there but running wires would be a bit more of a pain since its so busy in general on that side.

 

Did some snow wheeling finally this year

 

Where did you go? We got a few guys going out tomorrow if you wanna join us. Heading up 80 about an 1 hour from sac

 

Installed some IK24s and a new rear cat converter. No more leaking flanges!

I’m hoping it’ll give me the motivation to install the rest of the exhaust that’s laying around.
