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

Looks very similar to the one I drive, nice front bumper mod, how many miles on yours ? did you tost the mud guards? I need the front passanger side to complete my set, Nice hunter green truck... I bet your paint is holding better since not as hot as Texas.... welcome to Tacoma World where the ideas to spend on the Truck starts ....

 

Ok so the decision has been made to build up the black donor truck not the red on e for many reasons. So the red truck is being stripped and parted. The suspension is going as is the front diff and complete rear axle. Everything else is up for grabs. 3.4 is running great with fresh timing belts, water pump, tensioner etc, (has a gasket leak between cylinder 2-4, mechanic confirmed) frame has a ton of fab work and straight within Toyota specs. Trans and transfer very well maintained. 4x ecu, harness and all wiring etc available. Pretty much anything a 3.4 trd 4x4 dbl cab would have, minus suspension and diffs... Let me know. I know a bunch of u wanted parts but I don remember who cuz had some many text, pm and dm's asking lol

Trying not to ship, prefer pick up or meet.

 

@SilverGhost was looking for a 3.4 pretty recently

 

Yeah Cory to bad I didn't have a way to get the parts here. Plus I won't have the cash for another month. Good luck with the sale buddy.

Thanks for looking out and tagging me or I would of never seen this.

 

How long of a shock can you run? I've got 13" icons with my setup. Haven't got to flex it out to really see if they are too long. Should work though.

 

Beautiful fab work!

 

looks good

Total Chaos said 8 or 10 inch but I'm not ordering shocks til i get it installed and measure.

Edit: I know 8" or 10" doesn't seem like much. You getting 13" gives me hope that maybe I can get some 12s in there with a 3" spring/shackle lift.

 

Thanks! Has just over 180,000 miles. Serviced it over a week ago and it is running a lot better. I didn't do anything to the mud guards...only have them on the rear. The pictures I posted don't show it, but the paint on the hood and the roof are really bad.

Have lots of things I want done to it but need to prioritize what I want done because of hunting season. I'd like to replace the interior lights with LED's as it's just not bright enough in there, + some of the lights don't work. Not sure what lights to get though. Same with the headlights. Might just get the PIAA Night Tech H4's and sand and gloss the outside plastic. My emergency brake light randomly comes on and off, usually stays on. I'm pretty sure the e-brake needs to be replaced. If that's why the light comes on that'd be good to know.

 

Thats common ebrake just needs adjustment. No need to replace. As for interior leds i replaced all mine with some off of eBay they where cheap and put out 5x as much light. Just take the light out it should say what type stamped on it i think.

 

Check the brake fluid level. If the level is low, it can cause an intermittent brake warning light. It happens because the level sloshes around, exposing a warning sensor. FWIW, a low level could indicate the front brake pads are worn down a bit.

 

Thanks for checking. Seems like there should be a grommet there. Anyone else care to check?

 

Just joined the club on Tuesday so obviously the first thing I did was derp the wheels and badges.


Currently waiting on some red dip to come from Amazon for the front emblem. I've got big plans for the future but I thought I'd start off cheap.

Welcome, nice rig

 

Skid Row Offroad transfer case and transmission skids

 

How much did this cost you? and I need to find me a set before winter comes by.

 

Like 600 powdercoated and shipped from skid row. I hear you can possibly get them cheaper from 4wheelparts I think.

 

Thats not too bad. And the skid plates always help while going off-road. Thanks I might get the transmission skid first.
