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

Good to know, thanks

 

Anyone done the tack weld mod recently? If so, could you shoot me a time frame for doing so?

 

Tack weld mod? Steering column? The last write up i read said 2 hours give or take.

 

i need to do mine aswell.

 

Yes, tack welds on the steering column. 2hrs isn't bad at all (although it seems like I generally multiply the time estimated in a write up by 2 for my own sake...). I've seen a write up on TTORA where damn near everything needs to be pulled, and one here on TW where a lot less work is required. Just seeing how long it took others.

 

It doesn't look like too bad of a job (depending on time). I'm tired of driving down the interstate and looking like I had a sixer and decided to go for a rip.

 

one on ttora is one im going off of.

 

Go to post #42 in the TTORA thread. Should take less than 1 hour. It's beyond simple, you do not even need to remove the lower panel. 3 bolts 2 screws 2 springs.
Shimming the tilt ball is also worth a few extra minutes if it shows any play.
I wrote "post #42" so feel free to question.

 

Post #42 is perfect. Thanks bud!

 

Couldn't pass this shell up for 200 , now all it needs is a roof rack

 

Installed some good ol Magnaflow!

 

I don't want Frank. I used to want Frank but that was before you went full ruhtard on it.

Igor, on the other hand....

 

Check out the prinsu racks. You can get a roof rack and a top rack

 

Clean frame...

 

New bumper installed! Looks 100% better than before.

 

get the rest of that old girl fixed up! looks like the paint as had its day.

 

Are you sure it's frank and not Monte? Lol

 

Put new EBC dimpled/slotted rotors and greenstuff pads on, as well as Duralast calipers. But that nice black on the rotors sadly does not last. Still looks nice and shiny now. Also flushed all the old brake fluid out and filled it with new. What a difference. But my heel-toeing is totally fucked right now...

 

Yea, I need to upgrade my brakes. They front are doing the "pulsing" like how they feel just before it's steel on steel

 

I was having to go about half travel to get decent braking and to the floor for any sort of sudden stopping. My pads had a little life left, but not much. My rotors were definitely due for replacement though.
