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

If the battery is the only thing that has changed and the problem wasn't happening before, it could just be a faulty battery.

 

Got an Elite Off-road front bumper today!!!

 

No shit, pics!

 

I worked o hydraulic equipment in the Marine corps. Aircraft hydraulics to be exact. Had a not so bright guy pot his finger over a small pin hole leak on a hydraulic line. At the same time that I yell not to do that the tip of his finger got cut off. The hydraulic system was operating at 3k psi. It might as well have been a red laser beam cause it had the same effect on his finger tip.

 

I bought the one that was on sale here

Will post pics when it is on my truck

 

Ah, I had a feeling that's what it was. That's the only one that I knew was for sale. You'll love it!

 

I already love it and it is still in the bed of my truck.

 

Don't you have to sand blast the truck down to bare metal to paint the bed liner on your truck?

 

They are.

This is what I'm hoping for

 

No, you don't take it down to bare metal, just scuff up the paint tell there is no shine.

 

Hmm this might happen sooner than I expected. I love the shine but I hate seeing the rock chips on my paint.

 

Plan on just doing the body lines. Eventually, don't know if you know what I mean.

 

Nope but my guess is the lower part of the vehicle.

 

I highly recommend monstaliner if you are thinking of doing it.

 

Go for it bro..looks so BA! I had mine done at Full Metal Jacket in south Tacoma Washington. You can get different colors too.. You'll want to make sure you scuff the paint to get a good bond. My brother and I learned the hard way when we did a roll on kind ourselves, on his Toyota skycab, it didn't bond in parts to the body leaving pockets that rusted super bad! Whole panels of cancer. And it's a disaster to get back off. Super late nights, lots of beers, and countless gallons of aircraft stripper. So do like @gray223 did. It's worth the extra work to prep it good. But totally worth it. Don't have to worry about shit like shopping carts and keys etc...I'll post better pictures tomorrow.

 

That's what I was planning on. Thinking about doing an orange or either a green to put on my truck.

 

Today I hauled 2 palettes of limestone bricks with my Tacoma and my trailer. I belive it was about 2k lbs

 

I was thinking about there burnt orange at one time. Also looked at the tan color. Kinda looks like quicksand that's on the 2016.

 

I'm about to do mine in white monstaliner. can't beat that stuff.
