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

It will someday soon. Trust me

 

Haha ok man. When you takin Frank wheelin

 

Soon I hope have some work to do first

 

Like what?

 

Does it drone a lot when you're at cruising rpms?

 

Installed a set of rigid dually flood leds today. Look much brighter than the head lights. Anybody know a good option for upgrading the head lights. I had a set of cheap hid headlights and they sucked.

 

Bored and Pissed are a bad combination for me . . .
Like my new Striping? Thinking about sending it to FastSigns for print . . .
Though the damage is on the other side, this is literally what it would take to cover all the scratches they put on my truck.
Big surprise, I didn't hear from the Car Wash again today . . .
Hard to believe putting up a sign "if we fuck up your truck it ain't our fault" is legally binding and this post, though absolutely true, in the eyes of the court is probably libel?

 

Love it.

 

New bed rack. Redo limit straps and coils. Rear axle and suspension.

Mine didnt on stock gears one of the cool things about magnaflow. From what I know about you I think you'd enjoy the 18 more

Hell yea!

Be very different I'm sure. New glass and two cats vs no glass probably and 1 cat

 

When a business does this . . . you are fucked anyway. Doesn't mean I can't be extremely pissed for a while . . .

I've done detail work myself. Some of this will buff, most will not. It is EASY to tell that a rotating brush caused this damage. It is NOT easy to get a business to do the right thing . . . in the grander scheme of things, this is pocket change for them. To me, it's over a grand of damage with a $500 deductible.

 

@westhumboldt
Try vleds.com for some led headlight bulbs. They are kind of spendy but they are excellent quality. I have a set in my truck and dualsport, and since then my dad, and friend have gotten them for both their trucks And bikes too.

 

I don't want these to get berried (hahah... ok.) seriously. Great pics, looks like an awesome trip.


***Edit, apparently the Quote feature is... not so awesome. Anyway, go back a few pages and check out jberrys post.

could you please post a picture of your setup.

 

I was looking at a much newer Tacoma when I ran across this low mileage, absolute cream puff in Tennessee. Since I have always been fonder of the Gen I looks anyway combined with the incredible condition and low miles, I snatched it up. It's just hard to accept that it was "my momentary lapse of judgment" to drive through an automatic car wash, not the fucked up car wash that is the problem is here. These scratches are repetitively swirling marks along the same front to back horizontal plane . . . not something caused by a shopping cart or tree branches, etc. That would be EASY to prove in a court of law but like I am going to spend $15000 in legal fees to fight $1500 in damage . . .

So, enough already. This is just how I deal with shit and I'm ready to move on . . .

 

hella h4 lenses or retrofits. the sealed beam silverstars arent bad for $50 a set either.

i put a set of opt7 pods on my wr450f the other day and was impressed for what they are. might get another set to put in same place you have your duallys.

 

I put a set of GE Nighthawks on right when I got the truck and they are way brighter than the old Silverstars that were on there.

 

Da hell does that mean?

Hey Yo!

I was able to listen to Old Brett's earlier this month. Sounded nice. I know what you mean by "from what I know about you" because you know I would like it throaty and deep (ugh) but quiet when I'm cruising. I actually really like how quiet my cab is with the deadener, windows up and stock muffler. But a frivolous spend would be a magnaflow 18.

 

Yea doesn't really merit anything other then enjoyment haha

File in Small Claims court - it won't cost you much at all, and if you win, your court costs will be paid (reimbursed) by the defendant too.
