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

is that some type of skid plate?

 

Belly skid/ tranny mount. Looks nice.

 

looks solid for sure.

 

My attempt at a flat belly dual case skid. Clocked the case and got as high and tight as I could without pushing the drive train up

 

fully armored shield ... nice

 

Judging by where that pocket is I want to say t-case. Very interesting design to say the least.

*EDIT* Ahh so skid and xmember?

 

damn that thing is beefy!! Gonna collect a lot of mud though.

I washed my truck this morning after mudding this weekend. Must have scraped off about 10 pounds of mud....she's all clean again, looking like a pavement princess



Also saw that my IFS skid is bent to shit...Mission accomplished! lol

 

do u have a weight on that??

 

Took off my output tranny line to see if I still had pressure and it is safe to say that it still does considering my truck and garage is covered in tranny fluid. Shot about 4 feet. Pushed air through the output line and the fluid came out easy of the return line. Replaced fluid and she is shifting like butter.

Also noticed that my pcv hose was cracked and wheezing so I replaced that and we will see if that fixes my lean code. Good day over all I would say.

 

Helped a kid at school by giving him a jump on his 98-00 2.7l Tacoma that wouldn't start! It had 412,000 miles!!!! Said it wasn't his battery but it looked like shit! I told him to check his spark plugs and maybe starter but it was cranking fine just didn't want to turn over

 

Did some wheeling at Cleghorn today with my bro



(Tested out my new fox coilovers and well worth the money!)

 

does the oem skid count?

 

It's just Cleghorn lol not a very advanced trail just wanted to test out my new suspension

 

Oem can surprisingly take a decent beating. I know I beat the fuck out of mine, the previous owner beat the fuck out of it, and I passed it on to yet another member. And we didn't take it easy on it.

 

28.25" needs removed from the frame. Almost the perfect amount, like it was destiny. Kids, do not attempt this at home.

 

Nice. Haven't been to cleghorn yet. Been wanting to check it out. Just hard to find the time.

 

Yeah it's a pretty cool trail. If you stay on the main trail it's super easy but there's some offshoots that are more advanced. Definitely check it out when you have time

 

Looks like it would be perfect if you hadn't bobbed the bed..haha

 

That's true. But when I 4 link in the spring that won't matter. Until then it will be a little redneck. Same with the front end though.

 

Had my mechanic look at it and he said it looked good. Nothing was loose, and a chain was the only thing I could pull him with. It was that or leaving his vehicle there for it too flood over night, due to the bad weather coming our way.
