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

Frames on these trucks are real high and tucked in. On 32s my biggest jack still needs a 4x4 block to get tires off the ground so i cant see the factory one being any help.

 

You would think Toyota would have realized the jack isn't up to the task. Oh well I just need to cut a decent block and stash it away with the jack.

 

Lmao I wanted to say the same thing but held back.

Doesn't want to tub...wants to LS swap.

 

Lol right!?

 

Someone had to say it..

 

I couldn't imagine rolling on 35s without a regear in mine. I'd wait to get 35s and tub while your doing the swap.

 

Meh screw it. Might as well just Sas.

 

11 hours till i pick up my baby......cant freakin wait...been a long 2 weeks

 

Oh I missed it. They didn't total it? That's cool

 

So I k just started the engine and now have a po420,a po450 cell... I have checked the o2 sensors and seem fine for voltage a have cleaned the maf sensor and have looked for a exhaust leak to no luck...the only thing left I can think of is to much ethanal from local gas station or cat is going bad any clues what it could be....2000 3.4l

 

Anyone ever swapped this to the newer one with switch blanks ?

 

No sir...wasnt as bad as i thought...bumper took most the impact and is still pretty solid.....frame is straight.....got new:

Winch
Bumper
Fenders
Grill
Radiator
AC lines and new freon


Not bad

 

Slowly but surely getting it done. Got a little done after work today.
Chopped the rear fenders an inch and a half. Definitely going to be cutting more later. But I took it for a spin. No front fenders and some large holes on the floorboards.

Tank mode engage

 

Oh ... well ... crap.

 

I think you have to jack directly under the rear axle or under the LCA in order to get a wheel off the ground even with stock lift. I worry if I had to change a spare with the OEM bottle jack.

 

wow, that is fucken sexy!! mine next!!

Got my truck back today!! Woooot!!

 

Alright I was waiting until everything kinda settled to post about this. So my friend rear ended me at a yield sign on saturday.

So basically he plowed into me without looking from a stop and somehow managed to cause this much damage, the bumper, bed, tailgate, and tail light obviously need replacing, and the bed kicked up and hit the cab making a nice dent on the drivers side and a bunch of peeling paint. We got an estimate that said it would be over $10k to fix everything including labor. Both the insurance and collision shop said they saw no frame damage, but this isn't conclusive. Insurance totaled it but since there is no frame damage (as far as I know as of right now) I might replace everything myself and have the cab damage professionally done. It was not my fault at all (I think that's pretty obvious) so insurance won't go up either. Now time to rebuild, not letting go of this thing this easy, have way too much work into it. Worst part is I JUST fixed the rust hole in the bed . Finding a bed hasn't been too easy so far.
Forgot to mention Im also on a 2 week vacation in Florida and this happened just days before we were supposed to leave.. Great start to my vacation haha

 

Ouch, kinda looks like the guy I plowed into...damn man, that sucks

ok ok...let me get all my goodies back on..lol....I had stripped her in case she was totaled

 

I am pretty shit at cutting fenders

I might have to get bushwackers to hide my shame
