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

yup its got a crease and damage straight to the bare steel, and if yours was $700 this one would be well over that.. guess ill start looking and start saving lol

 

Might not be too more than that unless it's bad enough to where they'd need to replace sheet metal. Estimates should be free. May as well ask around.

 

I paint a little more the rear area with Chassis Saver this morning, and kaboommm !! I discovered how to remove it out of your skin

 

Ooh...that i dont know. After its all said and done, you could always sand and paint again?

 

You're badass , I could not even take my rusted rear bumper down because not the tool to remove the star shape head screw that hold chrome .
Mechanic...naahh my thing

 

Just picked up my campershell from Macco! The color match looks great!! 293 out the door for the paint job and 375 for the shell. Maybe not the cheapest used Campershell but it's hard finding shells in New Mexico!! And is it just me or does the gap between the shell and back window look huge??

 

The reveal of the shell to cab looks equal to the reveal of the bed to the cab....looks good to me.

 

Gap is there so the body doesn't smash into it. The body moves independently from the rest of truck and bed by a surprising amount.

 

Didn't even think of that thanks!

 

makes sense

 

Mounted up my 5th wheel and tire. Gotta love having that matching spare. Now its time to build a swingout to hold it... and then new leafs. Im asking way too much of these j59s

 

How is the spare mounted?

 

Its sitting on my bumper and just held by a strap. I just wanted to see what it looks like up there.

 

Brought a few loads of branches to the back for the landlady. Nice to find a reason to use the truck at home. Most of my truck stuff, other than working on it, is done elsewhere.

 

I like the side protection of that bumper but that's it. I prefer the plate for rears, but then again it's better than a stocker

 

Fooled me. Looks great.

 

Yeah, it wasn't my thing either till I got the Tacoma. Once I found out how many mod's I wanted to do, and how expensive they would be...I couldn't justify paying a mech anymore I can't do any of it without beer though, best tool for wrenchin

 

lol... no! my phone is over 9 years old (made 2007) and has ben cobbled together and repaired so many times it barely takes regular photographs much less videos of any type... I have used one tho and was not overly impressed after using a true infared. the flir works more on the visible light spectrum and thus is not precise and not very accurate. it does make a very fun toy tho!

this was shot by a tamarisk 320 which at the time was a prototype. it is if not the most sensitive currently made, then very very close...
