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

Nice. Demello seems to sit pretty flush also. So ill look into those 2. since both local. well sort of.

 

My front bumper was his only first gen as well. as far as I know.

Guinea pig.....

 

Hahahahaha!

 

This is true. Extended travel are required to have UCAs.

 

I'm tired of searching for a used snorkel. I'm just gonna fork out the cash

 

Go to home depot and buy pvc pipe. make your own.. all the jeep guys do it.

 

actually that ^ seems like a pretty nice snorkel design, even has a drip leg to catch water. (i would have used a 45 at the top instead of the offset closet flange though)

Im about to pull the trigger on like 30 cans of spray paint/primer/varnish to re paint my truck. Will be matte dark green w/ matte black trim (door handles, mirrors, grille, etc)

 

gawd damn that looks hideous!! hahaha. Comes with a cleanout too in case you need to snake it

 

Why not have it wrapped?

 

too expensive/too many imperfections on the paint as is.

I'm about to paint it for like 300$ worth of quality spray paint/sand paper/bondo.

I've done it once before and i feel like i have a pretty decent plan of attack.. just time consuming.

I guess I've never really looked into wraps and don't exactly know how much they cost, my buddy told me they weren't cheap so i just never looked into it.

 

I believe it is pretty pricey as well.. I also looked into plasti dip and it would run me about 500+ to do it right... for something that can peel off... i don't think so

 

Diff breather mod:


Tip: if your rubber line doesn't want to go over the union or the filter, spray a little brake cleaner inside the hose first. It'll make it slip right on.

 

That pretty much sums up my situation. Now since you're looking to sell your truck soon and have no need for your trail gear bumper...

 

I just used gear oil to lube it. figuerd it was the safest cause its already in the diff.

 

Threw my rubber hose in the oven while I was taking my old one apart

 

Or you can just spit on it...lol

 

Too many jokes in the last few posts...

 

I'm going to sell my Hilux model if you're interested. I know it's not the ARB, but a lot cheaper. I can bring it to the BAMF mod day if you want to check it out.

 

Thats what i told her.

 

Yea just did a quick search and it seems like wraps and like 1000+.

That's a lot of spray cans/gallons of plastidip, you sure it would even cost 500? You wouldn't need primer, varnish, sand paper, or bondo etc..
