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

all the lights wiring, e-brake lines and stuff. I had to get the box on quickly to move it to my new shop. It is not drivable in many ways now.

 

You're right, moving them wont do shit right now haha. It will make me feel better though since it's farther from bottoming out but it doesn't matter because with the stock shackles I can't get anymore droop and with the overloads I can't stuff any farther. That will change a lot when I do shackles, creeper joint hangers, bumpstops, and remove the overloads.

 

From what I have seen, its not Aaron Murrays fault completely. Its mostly dropped passes and such. I recall the sec championship game 2 years ago with uga and lsu. Tavaras King dropped 2 passes that were in his hands in stride that would have been 6. And the defense dropped the ball. But its football and the qb always gets blamed. Matt Ryan is the one that cant take the heat.

 

Either get the OME exhaust bracket or cut your tailpipe. You can see both in my build thread.

 

I was rooting for Georgia against Bama in the SEC championship game

 

-Got an alignment
-Was notified that my passenger side cam adjuster bolts were stripped (long story involving a shitty alignment experience in the past), quote $520 for parts plus labor+Alignment
-Left town for a week
-While out of town, bought Cam's for ~$100, didn't order bolts (oops)
-Tried to PB Blaster, hammer, pull, press out the old cams but they're seized beyond belief.
-Didn't have time to wait for more parts, saw-zall out the old, press out the remainder and install 'new' before driving 500 miles the next morning.
-Got some 1/2"x20x5" bolts, 7/8 - 9/16 - 1/2" washers and rigged them up to provide enough clamping force to hold that damn LCA in place.
-Got another alignment that could only be 'close' according to the techs (it was 5pm on Friday, i didn't push for perfect)
-Ordering a new LCA+bolts then cutting out the old and installing the new then... ANOTHER ALIGNMENT! Dealing with a slight pull and shake until then.

And while doing this I pulled the Drivers side hub+UCA and dropped it off at a local shop to get the old bearing pressed out and the new OEM Toyota bearing+all associated parts installed.

All without 1/2 the tools i usually have in my garage at home and no second set of hands. Phew. That was a long two days.

 

this morning at the beach

 

Hmmm... well yesterday I plasti-dipped my front emblem! Tomorrow i plan on plasti-dipping the rest of my emblems/badges. One of these days im also gonna get to swapping the blinkers w/ the running lights. BTW this will be my first post on TacoWorld, hopefully there will be many more stories of mods to come!

Probably , they probably do though, they also have swampers for 950 mounted

 

I have the OME bracket on now. I'm definently gonna cut it. Just don't have the tools accessible today. Hopefully tomorrow! Thanks for the help dudes!

 

Magnaflow has a cat-back kit that threads the exhaust between the springs and the frame if you're interested in solving the problem by spending more money.

 

I need to chop off my exhaust too. My dakars hit It even with the exhaust bracket. I'm adding longer shackles too so ill have to do it soon.

 

I'm planning on chopping mine too just because my pipe hangs crooked and it annoys me
Edit: I know madjik is gonna comment on my last statement....

 

Did some trail riding today.
