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

Nevermind, I have shit for brains tonight.

On a side note, my boots filled up with water and dirt. After reading around most people cut them off to avoid this if you offroad at all.

 

2.7 5spd manual 4x4

 

Cool, that's what I was thinking. it's new as of August lol. But it hasn't been driven much since then. So I may try to catch and reuse what I lose.

 

I have the boot zip tied on the shock low so it's not an indicator of how much the shock is extended, also it would stretch not compress.

 

haha yeah I reread it and edited but you quoted me first.

 

The spring pack is the Wheelers 6 leaf. Guess I'll just keep the shocks because I don't truly need all that downtravel on a DD haha.

 

Relentless DIY Front Plate Bumper on the way...should be here Friday! Big thanks to Eric!

 

Put on my registration that I've lagged two months on and put on a new license frame my buddy made for me.

 

Thanks. It's the stock chain off my yz250. If others are interested I can probably hit him up for more. Pretty sure he sells them for $35. And paints them any color you want too. I had him clear coat mine. I think they came out really cool.

 

My setup was a little different (Dakar leafs w/ 5100's) and it was pretty rough as a daily driver. The 5100's were maxed out at regular ride height when I put them on which left me with no down travel. Was not fun.

Got a lot done today.. Got my

$250 cksa12 air compressor compact on-board 12 volts DC, designed exclusively for ARB air lockers locking differentials

cksa12 mounted, finished re wiring my coax cable for my cb radio, and fixed my seat.

Here is the spot I selected for my cksa, I think it came out pretty nice and tidy.


Anyone know if this screw is supposed to be in the solenoid on the compressor?? In the instructions it said make sure there isn't anything in there but it came with the screw in there from the factory...??



Or

 

Been there, I'm glad that I went with 11" 5125s the first time around. The one week that I used a pair of used 5100s was awful, I took them off because they made the ride so bad. The 5125s have done super well and flexed a lot more than I expected, still want to do a shock relocate eventually to the one you have though.

That compressor fits super well, not sure about the bolt through the solenoid though.

 

I gave him about 6 chains from my bikes last month. He hits them with a wheel and cleans them up before he tacs them to shape and paints. So they always come out pretty clean.

 

Got my light bar mounted

 

Looks good, what brand?

 

Just got my LineX Premium today. Had some wear spots from the plastic liner.

 

Yea eventually

I'm not sure. Got it from Felix...another member on here

 

That looks real good, my Line-X has held up real well too and it is their most basic one.

It is 100% worth it, just make sure everything is good with the integrity of the bed before covering it up.

 

Put a spindle lift and bigger tires on my baby.

 

Sounds like a good time to do it then, did you inspect the underside where the pieces of the bed floor were welded together. Water has been known to make that area rust.

 

Yup. I pulled mine and those few spots were the only spots of rust as of 238K miles. Couldn't have that. Pay the extra for the UV coating. Keeps it shiny for life. And if it fades, get it resprayed for free.
