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

I had that one fly out on the highway a while ago. It still hasn't been replaced

 

Nice snork! I'm digging your truck

 

Fixed it for you

 

Thank you! It's the $130 hilux snorkel on Amazon

Completed Product

 

New steering rack, tie rods, and CV axles. Just need to get an alignment but it's gonna drive sooo much better. Also last week: replaced power window motor and weather strips below windows.

 

I tightened up the rack guide on the driver side a bit and helped my slop a bunch but a new rack is probably in my future also.

 

I used Wipe new on my flares and they look really good. We will see how long it last. Says 2yrs.

 

Where do you find wipe new?

Depends where you live... I tried it. Lasted 2-3 weeks in New Mexico heat and sun

 

Pretty warm here in north Tx in the summers, worth a shot I guess for a little bit.

 

Yeah and if anything its always easy to put some back on

 

Pricey though.

 

I'll probably just paint them black. Pretty hot in south Mississippi so I doubt t would hold up here

 

Yeah when I got my hood painted, the guy painted and glossed my flares. Look great but makes the bumper look that much worse!

 

How much was it to paint the flares? Or was that just included. Kinda want to color match my flares...
