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

thanks man...you too.

color wasn't necessarily a deciding factor when i was looking at tacomas. but i'm sure glad i lucked out with this color. i really do love it

 

Bilstein 5100's, OME 881's, Alcan 4-leaf packs (plus steering rack and sway bar bushings)

 

yeah fuses are good, connections are good behind it, i wonder if the realy burnt up or something, cant tell, the relay looks fine

 

got some new tires finally

31x10.5x15 goodyear wrangler authorities (the walmart only tire)

pics tomorrow when its daylight.

 

Thanks.

Yeah regarding the color, like you, I didn't really actually realize how much I loved it until after I bought it. I remember when I was looking to buy it, I really liked the color, but it wasn't until after I bought it that I realized how great of a color it is. It is just a really good, fun, color and goes very well with the body style I think.

 

clean looking fenders man.

i remember bringing my taco home on the first day and giving it that first wash/wax/detail and noticing the orange-ness in the paint....i've been hooked since. glad we all can appreciate toyota's genius shade of red

 

I ordered my lift. 5100's on all 4 corners and 2" AAL. YES! I finally did it I am just debating my springs. Check out my post and vote

 

Got my rock light brackets all fabed up and on the truck now to install the lights.

 

That just gives you more time to save up for mods and get her trail worthy . I hear ya on the work thing, the way I fixed that was starting my own business that requires the use of my truck. I do as much landscaping as a 17 year old can do but it earns more than I had imagined.

 

Took off both struts, and disassembled them with a rented coil compressor. Taking my Billies and Eibachs to the shop tomorrow for assembly. Meanwhile.... she's gonna have to stay on jackstands in the driveway. Install is planned for tomorrow night.

 

I love the color of my truck too!

 

I think it is awful.

The 93 I had before the Tacoma was red (garnet), and although it wasn't my first choice when I bought it used, it grew on me, and I always thought, hey, that looks pretty damn good in pictures...and so do yours...

But seriously, you red guys all need to GTFO of this thread and go play in the red 1st gen thread.... Lunar mist metallic FTW!

 

lol. I think your just jealous.

 

Thanks man.

I have to tell you, that last pic is painfull to look at. Those springs were hurting.

 

yea i mean im just not too huge on chrome. too 90's for me. and yea, my last truck was 4wd, it was great, thoug.ht id try somethin new though. so far i havent gotten stuck(knock on wood) the lockers r pretty intense. would love to LT my truck, but dont really want that fatass slavage title label on it. so, im thinking some adjustable bilsteins and ill be fine. next comes a stereo tho

 

Went up to oregon and ordered my trailgear bumper light hoop and sliders! hell ya no sales tax

 

Couple days late but I did this bumper:






And I bought a 2011 Scion TC for my girlfriend (who then became fiancee last night). She told me I could cage the truck until we had her new car and we were engaged so guess whats coming next?

 

lol I would spraypaint that on the side if I had those tires.
