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

I think I like his tailgate the most

 

Oh yea. I can't wait to put it on the trail now.

I've obviously backed into a few trees lol. And the big dent on the driver side was a hard lesson learned about trusting someone else's sketchy welds.

 

I like it buddy!! my tailgate was dented(not as bad) also some scratches and bit of rust. just got it sprayed with line-x when the box got done. looks way better and now I can abuse it for work needs

 

I waited another day for my new frame! Also order ball joints, half shaft, motor mounts and calipers. already got new shocks/struts and oxygen sensors.

 

enlighten us a bit more.. old frame rusted?

 

Just seafoamed my truck to find an exhaust leak. It came from the only part I took apart when putting the motor in, so guess who didn't use any gaskets.

It is the part when the 2 manifold pipes connect to the single pipe going to the cat. Do I need one or 2 gaskets?

 

Well by this photo I bought 1 too few.

 

My first Toyota Tacoma, bought May 2015. I inspected frame at dealer - rust but no holes. Just after I got it I replaced shocks/struts, fuel filter, one tie rod end, a lower ball joint, drained transmission four times, replaced oxygen sensors, brake pads and rotors, radiator hoses and antifreeze, spark plugs, all differential grease, and painted skid plates. Then I took it in to a Toyota dealer Sept 11 - failed frame inspection, new one on order. Driving a 2015 four door TRD (like mine better). I have ordered new motor mounts, calipers, one half shaft and one lower and two upper ball joints to be installed with new frame. will have a new 2002 when done (also have a Pioneer AVH 270BT on lay-a-way).

 

Be prepared to wait.. I just got mine replaced. Took it in.. in May and failed inspection. I refused to use a loaner so I drove mine home.. waited exactly 6 months for the frame to come in. Once it came in.. only took them 4 days.

 

Well they only had one... Had to drive to the next town to get the other one.

Dark by 6pm now thanks to Mitch Daniels and daylight savings.

 

You better not have without selling me that bumper...

 

What color is your truck sir?

 

Light blue. Forgot what they actually call it.

 

Horizon blue metallic

 

Cool steel metallic?

 

Oh ok. Nice.

 

I'm pretty sure Ice Horse has a cool steel metallic. It looks very close at first glance.

 

My crossmember coming along piece by piece.

 

That looks incredibly beefy! Are you making belly skids?
