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

Your tailgate has not been reinstalled which makes me think this is a home job.

What brand of liner did you use? I looks awesome!

 

Exactly, which is why I may end up just re-painting it something else... still have time to decide

 

im trying to figure out how to contact seller to ask and yes i see what the guy listed..... thats why i want to see if he offers the black ones first befor purchasing the red ones and painting black lol

or these and save some money

 

Lifted it!

 

found out a way to contact and will let you know when i have a answer to what he says maybe we can get the black ones in the near future or we can convince them into a group buy???

 

Thank you, I think it looks great too. We used Raptor Liner that I picked up from Amazon last week. Super easy, honestly prepping is where the time goes. You have to make sure you prep it well. Def. recommend this product for the do-it-yourselfer type of person.

 

LMAO, to think I thought I could get this done in a week! Looks ugly now but it'll be pretty when I'm finished with the rear. Lots of work still to do. Shocks cycle clean, no binding or rubbing. Clamps are a necessity when putting a spring pack together. I'm happy with the progress. Wasn't too excited about the stripped out deaver leaf pins. Gotta love going to the store just for a couple bolts that who knows how the he'll the stripped. Definitely didn't seem like a grade 8 bolt you would think would hold the leafs in the center. Every day I plug away more and more. Have more done than this. About to put her shoes on so she can feel the ground after 3 weeks. Pretty much brakes, finish weld, prime and paint, and put the bed back on. Not a trophy truck or like some of the other rigs on here but I'm proud and happy. All done in my garage by someone who didn't even know what LT was 2 years ago.

 

Oh, serious question. How is the starter to swap out on a 98? Fairly easy? Mine just went out.

 

Installed CB radio. Still haven't wired it up or bought the antenna or PA Speaker but I'm poor so I'm having to save up! A lot easier to do this than I thought, only took about an hour.
Loving working on my tacoma!

in the process of calling now and hoping to get a black kit listed on Amazon for us and also a possible group buy if i can get something going would be nice.

 

I've done it. Go in thru the side. You will have GENTLY bend one of the brake lines out of the way. You will be doing it by feel.

 

its a bitch on the v6.

 

Shit! That's what I thought I had heard.

 

Once you figure it out once though it gets easier like with all things. I've pulled mine and rebuilt it for like ten bucks.

 

Will these fit on the stock 16" Star wheels?

 

Friday:
Replaced the Driver's side front CV Axle (pretty easy, just remember to disconnect the sway bar AND to lube/grease the new axle's C-clip).

Sunday:
Drained and replaced fluids in:
Rear Diff
Transfer Case
Front Diff (p.i.t.a with that stupid 10MM Hex that was torqued to some ungodly number that required a cheater bar to loosen and then retorqued to 20 ft/lb)

Monday:
Planned drain/fill of transmission fluid

Thursday:
Oil change

 

An unpainted kit would also be a good idea, or maybe not, just paint over and have 2 coats of paint.
