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

I've had my 03 for 11 years and 6 months.

 

Will be 13 years in December

 

I was 9 years old and knew nothing about trucks unless it was a single cab Chevy.

Bet you feel old now don't you?

You're an idiot haha

You haven't owned it that long, your parents have

 

Did a little wheeling today. Got more pics in my build

Trueeee lol I've had it forrrrrrr 4 years I guess lol

 

feel old NOW. I always feel old.

 

Installed new exhaust from the y pipe back (catalytics, sensors, muffler):

 

it seems like everyone where i live with a taco never waves back.....

 

Start giving these out , you'll get noticed.....

 

Damn that's one ugly dude.

 

Yeah, but its a long finger.

 

Changed my oil (again, no oil spilled changing the oil filter) and started touching up the paint on skids and sliders prepping for winter.

 

Blasphemy

 

About to pull my starter and replace the contacts and plunger. Lets see how this goes

 

Loosen the filter until it can be unscrewed with your hand then put a gallon ziplock bag around it.

 

Bilstein 5100s in front. Fabtech AAL in rear. Got 2.5" all around.

 

The wheel covers died a year or so ago so I wanted to do something to the rims to improve the looks somewhat. Plastidip here I come.


Here it is complete and back together.



Had a guy make me a skid. My 16 year old son thought a camo pattern would be fun.

 

Be interested in seeing if you pull it from the top, out the wheel well, or down under. I swear on all that is Holy I could not pull that sucker out the wheel well or down below. Had to go through the top. Sucked. I hope mine now lasts forever, as I may just set it on fire if I have to change that PITA again.

 

Cheater! Great idea. But, one does get addicted to hot, slimy oil running down your arm. Not as bad in my Taco thanks to reaching in through the wheel well, but on my Camry - ugh.

 

Not very encouraging to hear given I need to pull the tranny and replace the clutch sometime soon and I think the starter is bolted onto the bell housing...
