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

Buy a 4wd Rzr and lease a truck to tow it with.

 

Too poor.

 

Those rzrs can cost within a few thousand of a new tacoma. And the price just keeps going up.

 

That's absurd. I know they are crazy capable offroad, and I am sure they are fun as hell, but I can't help but feel that there is a limit to how far you can push the line of what you're getting vs how much you're getting.

 

Anyone?

 

Do a leak down test. Run it.

 

Same here. It's not bad to keep a vehicle clean.

 

Changed the color of the nasty orange needles to green. Was a major pain to get all the needles in the right spot but after an hour time it's finally done.

 

Soon

 

Me is jealous

 

Replaced my passenger outer tie rod.

I was going to do the UBJ but the huge ball joint press kit I rented from advanced auto didn't have an adapter that fit!

Also replaced the steering rack guide last night

 

Alright so where my wire for the light bar comes in my door jam leaks when it rains...any way of fixing that or somewhere I can move the wire to so it doesn't leak?

 

pt 2

 

You could put silicone around the hole where the wire is coming through. That's all I know what to do. Unless you can fit a gasket in there.

 

please complain to me a little more about your skid plate...

 

I was gonna wirebrush and paint mine today but the brush didn't really seem to make a dent in it at all... so now I don't know what to do.

 

Looks good, better than the dingy green mine came stock with, but I doubt I could go back to having green.

 

need an angled die grinder with very ruff sanding disk. Just get all the flaky stuff off then use chassis saver.

edit: it may be very difficult to fit a die grinder with the cab still on the frame.... could just spend a couple days using a wire brush and get all the flaking stuff off that way

 

Finally got to try on the new shoes! Cooper STT Pro's. These things are SWEET!

 

let me take it for a test drive
