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

Okay sounds simple enough. Thanks man. Yeah welding definitely sounds easier. I'll wait until I buy mine.

 

I have had 2 sets of these! Nice and cheap and i wired mine for heated seats so.........


my 2004 with the same seats

 

More info please.

Expos. Nothing in the bed and no tire. I can get more tomorrow with the tire and or topper on.

 

just changed my oil on my 2000 Tacoma...It is however annoying to remove the skid plates to get this done

 

I'm serious too lol

 

It would be if the idiots that did the work before me would have put the bottom skid plate on right...the drain plug hole was nowhere near the drain plug so I had to take it all the way off and turn it around

 

well Im not sure on the bottom one but theres an aftermarket one on the front. then one on the bottom. The bottom one might be stock but it was backwards...

 

This is why when the guy who's going to work on my truck starts his sentence with "ugh" or "umm" I go elsewhere

 

Idk why people hate that oil gets on metal. Just helps that spot resist rusting which is ok by me

 

Under ordinary conditions no...but when the access is to the rear of the truck yes. I was looking and it was no where near where the oil drain plug was...so Now its back to its right position. And next time all I should need is an extension and socket to get to it.

 

Well today i had my employees rotate and balance all 4 tires. I put in that new castrol full synthetic 15,000 mile titanium FST oil.

Then i charged my a\c system and now im freezing!!

 

Got another one

 

Them's some bold claims, are you gonna send it into Blackstone at those 3000mi intervals?

 

I want a red one just like that one for my collection as well.

 

The red one is a limited double cab. I now have three, the red 2003 and two white 2000 SR5s

 

I'd agree, I don't really trust Castrol I'm a penzoil platinum synthetic

 

So you have one of each 1st gen now?

 

Oh, so it's a 2000 with a 95-97 front end. Got it. Still cool you have one of each front end.

 

I used to sell that stuff. Good shit. Then the shop I worked at switched sponsors or whatever and we started pushing Mobil everything instead of Penzoil everything. I've always been more of a Mobil1 guy myself anyways. I rocked the M1 extended 15k mile oil for about 12 or 13k before I decided to change the oil, due to a new job with a hour commute each way. Better safe than sorry.

 

Probably the angle of the pic maybe throwing you off but that's a 98-00 front end.
