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

My wife was like that about my old Hyundai Accent. She loved that car and hated the Bmw I bought after it. I think she likes the truck though, she said it definitely fits me.

 

I had to re-read it a couple times.

 

What are you swapping with a Chevy?

I am dropping Ruby (came up with her name yesterday) to get the frame full inspected by someone other than myself. Fingers crossed Wisconsin winters didn't rot her more than I could see.

 

Good luck! Frame rot is a b!tch!!!

 

Edited cause grammar.

 

Clean bill of health. They said they can't spray under coats anymore. After the recall window closed Toyota corp took all the spray equipment back. They quoted me $375 to descale, and $175 for a local place to re-spray.

I think I am going to de-scale myself and roll on some protectant. Any suggestions?

 

Its a 4runner. No leaf springs. Coils front and rear, I do believe.

 

Anyone have this?

 

g'damn some of you with the squeaks are worse than the 3rd genners complaining about their new truck.

ya'll not have radios you can turn on or something? squeaks are easy to get rid of.

 

When your trucks 15+ish years old what do you expect..

 

Yes, the squeaks are easy to get rid of. The nagging from the wife though, tends to go far and above the db's produced by the radio.

 

Not today but over a few days time...

Thrush Turbo Muffler. Need new shocks, suspension and it is part of a future plan.

Tailgate Net - for aerodynamics only.

For refreshments sake.

31" Grabber AT2's - Yeah! All of my tires match now.

 

Cool idea, not sure how much I'd like the box though, might fuck up departure angle. Would love to see it mounted to a truck.

Also for those complaining about squeaks throw some dynomat in the cab

 

It's be nice for like chains, tow ropes and hitches and stuff... At least I think so anyway.

 

If you want quiet, stay stock.


Say it with me
race car parts, make race car sounds...

 

If u don't want to hear squeaks and noises, don't ever go longtravel lol.

 

Or Mid travel for that matter...

 

Very true! My mid travel set up was squeaky as F also. Haha

 

only ones that MIGHT not be squeaky are the SPC or LR sealed ball joint UCA. but ANY of the uniballs are gonna squeak like fuck, unless you can somehow keep them constantly and heavily lubed

 

The bushings on my SPC UCAs squeak like a mofo... Ball joint is fine, but gawt damn the bushings are wretched.
