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

No, because I've been staring at it all morning too

 

Frame swap!? That's not fair, how are they still doing that...I want mine changed!!

 

If you got coated under TSB and still have perforation you still get a frame.

 

Well lucky you. I didn't get coated under TSB. Every time I had my truck checked, they just ran the vin and told me no! @JLee can attest to the state of my frame...

 

WTF is wrong with you guys! How can both of you see my truck out the window??

It isn't even outside..

is that a box rocket bumper? also, what are those wheel specs? 4.5" BS?

 

Yes and no. Its based on his design, being simple and easy to build yet elegant, but of my own creation.

Wheels are 3.5" BS.

 

nice. and damn. wish they had 4" bs. dont think my tundra calipers will clear 3.5 inchers

 

SCS rims are made for Toyota's, they've confirmed all of their rims work with the Tundra calipers

 

I really, really wish you hadn't told me that.

My wallet is quietly crying because it knows.

 

I'm not seeing any 3.5" BS in bronze or gunmetal. My wallet is now audibly sobbing in fear.

 

Gunmetal would look sick with your color too!

 

Might be out of stock? you'll have to ask Vin ( @SCSPerformance )

 

Okay. I may have to wait a bit, because I'm planning on getting a Relentless bumper with swing out tire carrier and Rotopax holder. Then maybe a hard or soft camper shell... not sure yet.






"shut up wallet!"

 

Same, I need my tires to die out a bit, then save for re-gear and new tires

 

Regear. That's another thing I need to do. One step at a time. I was thinking about getting another vehicle, but at this point I'd rather throw money at a truck that's paid for.

 

What can I do to make the truck start a bit stronger/faster/easier? Seems like it is laboring to do so, sometimes not even clicking (probably needs a new starter) and was considering upgrading the alternator and starter. Anything else for the system?

 

The stock starters are great. Don't replace it. However, they do need cleaned occasionally after a long time. The contacts can get gummed up. Think a kit from Toyota is like 15 bucks and it'll be like new.

Alternator is always a good upgrade and wiring and battery
