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

Could someone upload a picture of their front drive shaft?
Trying to figure something out and can't find any pictures of the whole front drive shaft

 

I see no pics

 

Oops, I think I already had that written in and then I wrote the thing to Digiratus. I keep forgetting to upload my SD card, I have pics now. I'll post later today.

 

Mine had been replaced under the recall a few years ago, Then one day last summer someone stole my spare tire (Cut the cable ) I figured for $70 I mite as well have them put a new one on.

 

Dipped my wheels today!

 

@BYJOSHCOOK Here are a couple...

 

Looks awesome! You have any thought of painting the chrome? I think it'd look even better, but regardless it looks amazing. Always loved the Relentless but it's a hefty price and nobody sold them down here haha

 

Yeah I would have bought a DIY kit eventually if this had not wandered into my view. I think I am going to eventually paint the chrome anthracite, blacked out is a bit played out around here especially since I park near 2 all black JKs and a blacked out Colorado.

 

And I thought MY battery looked like a fire hazard.




Just messin!

 

Please

Shit! That's enought to piss you off. Glad you got it remedied at a decent price.

 

It finally happened... I think the water pump is shot. It lasted 166k miles. But I found a puddle of coolant and it is sounding horrible. I'll look closer in the day but time to start shopping kits on ebay.

 

Replaced the wiper fluid reservoir with a Nalgene bottle in preparation for tubbing. It's sitting in there securely with zip ties for now. Have a question, though: does anyone know the distance between a stock air box and the front end of the vehicle? I plan to get a snorkel soon and need a stock airbox. Just curious if the water bottle will be alright where it is when that time comes.
Also, disregard the wiring mess. Solenoid for the winch is temporarily there and all that junk needs cleaned up...

 

Yeah go anthracite. Blacked out is a bit played out everywhere lol.

 

Running like poop lately so I just ran some Sea Foam:

 

Put the tool box back in.

 

Started teardown of the front suspension to install TC cam tab gussets, never pulled CV's before so I didn't know to loosen the hub nut before I pulled everything else, gotta get a 35MM socket for the impact tomorrow.

 

Leave it chrome man. I think our grills look best chrome. Only thing on any tacoma that did..

I like the bumper but won't lie. The light hoops aren't working for me with the 95-97 front end.

 

I was telling Ben I want to chop the hoops come spring and put brace tubes on.

 

Hmm, thought ours was 36MM and 4Runners had 35MM.

 

I was basing the 35MM off of this link http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/maintenance/cv_axle/
And TW search brought this up.
