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

@GRIZZLY714

 

That's a damn nice truck, man! I hope that works out well for both of you!

 

Replaced the peeling weatherstripping on the drivers' side window, and replaced the small side mirrors with the large side mirrors of the 01-04(?)

 

Where the mirrors a Direct fit ?

 

We really are limited and it does suck. Hopefully I can move west, it's sad that I need to drive 6 hours to be able to find trails and forest to explore and camp for free at.

 

Yea...I can camp 10 mins from my house. Haha 30 mins to trails.

Nah. Stay there! No vacancy out here

 

Oh man will you replace weatherstripping for some beer and pizza?

My truck needs it bad (4 door)

 

Guess im too slow...ill be keeping my rig

 

Getting the wife to move away from the beach and into the mountains would be the real challenge. Till then I'll have to settle for cross country road trips.

 

It was a huge disappointment when I mined down here, I used to have drive far but at least I had access to public land where I could do what I wanted.

 

Direct fit...

 

Replaced my LBJ's tonight

It ended up being a 30 min. job....and could be done in much less time. I got everything separated with a BFH, about 6 solid whacks, no pullers needed. Both had been leaking grease and had substantial play...only a matter of time I had to re use old bolts as the OEM parts I got hadn't included them contrary to what I heard others on here say. Next time I swing by a dealership, I'll pick some up and replace them one at a time... or forget completely

I'll lay off the ball joint kick now...

 

Steak and lobster... jk, I know you can do it yourself in a minute.

 

Steak and lobster we have a deal. If you tell me what parts to buy, I will buy them. If you show me how to do one (teach a man to fish), I will treat you to steak/lobster dinner of your choice. I will do the rest .

I am not looking for free labor, rather learn how to do it

It is an eye sore on my car

 

Lights...Finally.

 

No need to pay the stealership for them, you can get the same bolts from Mcmaster Carr for a quarter of the price, delivered to your door.

Those are the same size and threads? Awesome! as mine didn't come with bolts either

 

Well, got one control arm done

 

Where are you guys ordering from that they're stiffing you on bolts? They should be included, I've bought ball joints from several different dealerships and they always have the bolts with them, new castellated nuts and cotter pins too.
Yes those are the correct length and thread pitch.

 

Ordered mine from patznet.com. Got the new castle nut and cotter pin though
