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

Pulled my OEM bedliner for the first time in 3 years, and it had a bunch of what looks like mulch, even though I've never hauled any. Also saw how nicely all that grinds the paint down to bare metal...



The over-the-rail liner had to come out to properly fit the A.R.E. V-series cap I just picked up.

 

So I'm going to have to pull my bed liner once I get a topper? Damnit..That's if I can find one, passed up 2 already this month , same color as my truck but they were for a Double cab .... Sucks

 

Depends on your bedliner I guess. My over the rails type had rounded interior corners that wouldn't let the cap sit properly. I pulled mine and will just sell it with the trifold tonneau. Probably Line-X it or at least get a bed mat.

Let the spending continue!

 

From last weekend......Truck did great

Round 2 this weekend

 

I thought the same thing when adam mounted his to the tail gate. But really. No very likely. The handle protects the valve. In a roll over, shits gonna hit the fan anyways.

That is a terrible idea. CO2 displaces oxygen. A paint ball canister has enough co2 to fill the cab twice over. If it leaks, you're gonna have issues.

oh and a seat belt holding down a bottle in a roll over is way worse off then the clamp bracket i have...seriously, get that thing out of the cab.

bingo.

 

Nice pics bro. I wish I could go for round two this weekend with everyone but I'm tight on rent $ this month, hopefully I'll make the next trip.

Edit: just ordered a few minor things...
-5quarts 5w/30 redline
-gallon 85w/140 Lucas
-oil filter
-oil pan washer/gasket
-new drain plug for front diff

 

I understand brother! hey, you see that sexy beast behind my rig in one of those pics

 

my wife loved your rig!

 

Took the extra day off this weekend to finish off the interior and tiddy it up a bit.

 

I was gunna say that black truck in the background is lookin pretty slick haha! Your truck is killin it with that snorkel though

Haha Nice . Tell her I said thank you.

 

Got my muffler installed today.. Feels weird having someone else work on the truck.. Other than getting a smog no ones ever worked on it since I've owned it!

Sounds good nice deep tone.. Didn't want it real loud so went with a larger muffler.. I've read threads that people say mufflers break in? Is that true never heard that before!

 

Bit the bullet and ordered 231mm S13WL Callahan powder-coated red Calipers and matching EBC pads since I already upgraded to a big brake Tundra kit but the calipers I have are super rusted... Do not order the LCE kit unless you want to do extra work.

 

Only the mufflers that use a packing to dampen the sound. Over time it gets burnt and broken down.

 

What do you mean do extra work with the LCE kit? I've been looking into doing tundra breaks, and a lot of people say go with LCE. Is it not needed?

 

haha, thanks brotha!

 

relocated my Blue Sea fuse box and re-worked some wiring

 

Got out yesterday with some guys from Toytec. Had a Great run!
PC: NYCO

 

The progress we made yesterday. Been raining all day today so didn't get much further.
