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

I got leaf spring envy from this! Makes me want to go hunting through the junkyards :beer:

 

Thanks!

Not yet. It took so long to get that light bar mount in and then all the stuff with my steering kind of snowballed so the grille stuff got put on the back burner. I promise I'll get to it eventually.

Thanks!

OMG every time I post them somebody says that lol. I've restored them a bunch of times and it comes back. I'm tired of doing it I want to get halo's eventually.

 

We're a subtle crew

Try using some kind of clear coat after you polish them down the next time (if there is a next time). It'll help it not haze so quickly.

 

I've had this one a week and so far:
Buffed
Debadged
Depinstriped
Took tool box and mudflaps off
deckplate

My next update is a different bumper- I like the ARB, its just not "practical" for me and i like the prerunner style better. With that being said, if you're interested in swapping and willing too make a trip to northern OK we can trade straight across.

And not too mention previous owner mods, bilstiens, leaf packs and fairly new wranglers

 

want to send it to me?

 

i can drive down to get

 

Don't worry ill buy you a 6 pac of your favorite brew if i get it

 

Says the 17 year old

 

I said I would pay for it not pick it up or buy it for him

 

I didn't do this all today, but in the past week I put rims on my truck and painted my toolbox.

 

got rear ended.

 

looks like the little Toyota car wanted to make some kids and failed! Whats the other damage to your truck?

 

LOL Lucky for him and I guess me my spare tire was there, other wise the rear end would have stopped him and my rear bumper would have gone through his window. Looks like just the shocks and break proportioning valve along with the spare tire winch thing. I contacted my insurance and will be headed in for an estimate tomorrow morning. I'll be calling his in the morning.

 

Fresh paint, new lights all around, sequoia wheels with falken tires, bedlined grille and bumper. It's been a busy week

 

Fresh paint as in your whole truck!?!?

 

That is a super clean looking truck! I have those same tires too.

 

Oh lawd I did not see that, look in his gallery at the primered truck!
$$$ right there.

Why did you put the door badge back on so low?

 

Ya no shit! I almost bought a Tacoma back when I was looking for one and once I heard how much it cost I settled with the one I have now lol

 

So want new paint.

Anyway, all packed up with the new cargo bag on top of the bed rack.

I like this set up a lot.

I have one huge XL duffel bag (filled with a large 4-person tent, bedding, two pillows and two blankets), one large duffel (filled with all my clothes, daughter's clothes, shoes, and back packs), two sleeping bags, queen size air mattress and two camping chairs.... all in the roof top cargo bag.

No, I'm not kidding.

Fully loaded the bag sits about 1/2" below my cab's roof line.

There is zero chance of seeing anything out my back window. This will be my first wheeling trip in 20 years where I have zero visibility out my back window.

 

Is a 25" breaker bar too much to ever need and to carry in my truck for use with the lug nuts?

Should I just get the 18"?
