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

How did the super duty do in that trail? and who's 98-00? that thing is siiiiick

 

The 98-00 if fap material.

 

lol that super duty makes the taco look like a childs toy, idk how people wheel full size trucks especially on technical trails

 

Nice, is the guy with the 95-97 on here?

 

New tires and such

 

That Ivan truck is soooooo sick !! truck goals for sure.

 

badass crew of tacos

 

Heat exchanger does not heat water, and not even a little bit lol

 

Found a dented but non rusted bumper for my 97 t a price I couldn't pass up so I pulled the old one, knocked and ground off all the rust then POR-15'd the hitch and inside of the bumper. Not perfect but oh so much better

 

That's me

 

That's a bummer, wonder why not. I always thought a warm shower would be a nice addition for camping.

 

I scored a super clean bumper this summer. huge difference in appearance from my old bent/ rusty one.

 

Spray the piss out of the back side of that bumper with Fluid Film. The bumpers like the frame rot from the inside out.

FYI there's decent aftermarket one on Amazon where you can use the stock Toyota pads and no one will ever no it's not OG

 

Great advise.

 

Got my winch installed, ready to test it out!
Just gotta figure out where to put my license plate now.

 

Id relocate the solenoids behind grill.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look in to another mounting location!

 

Just have to get some longer wire is all. where it is now is pretty exposed. wouldnt take much to damage if it was bumped into something

 

very bent.

did you jack the tires off the ground? when I did my bushings a couple of months ago I lowered it onto a block under the lower BJ casting (not the nut) and it moved out farr enough very easily without removing the tires or tierod ends.
I had a LOT of trouble with removing the bolt for the vertical bushing... ended up spending a couple hours cutting off the lower nut with sawzall and a dremel and welding a new nut on the top hole instead of the bottom... those bolts are super hard.

use ball joint press to get the bushing out... I did a friends 4 runner with a c-clamp and it took 5x the time and effort.

 

also worth noting on the factory bushing's the big washer against the frame was welded to the metal center sleeve...
