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

Well today I...

-broke the passenger front door handle
-somehow made my rear king smooth body leak all its oil out
- crack my drivers side tail light
-and scratch a section of paint pretty well

How was your day?

 

I locked myself out of my truck and the person that came and unlocked my truck broke something in my passenger door... now I can't unlock it from that side which is a lot more annoying than you'd think..... but that wasn't today.

 

Friends don't let friends get slim jimmed.

 

I can't I understand.

 

Me neither

 

Installed 01-04 lenses on my 99 to fix a cracked right side. Thanks @DJB1

 

So today was apparently pretty much full of fail...have you guys started drinking the eggnog already or something?

 

Got my red line hood struts installed, don't know why I didn't do this years ago

 

Got my Craigslist $65 wheels new tires! To get rid of my granny prerunner ones. Changing 8 tires by hand was no fun though!

 

I will be too , but will be back once gets fix, only the wallet got upset.,got hit 695 on repairs this week... let"s keep the chim up and let"s go places

 

Anyone ever been through Browns Park, Utah?

 

Are you talking about the wildlife refuge that's mostly in Colorado? I've been there.

 

Hmm I've never heard it called a wildlife refugee. I think you might be talking about Dinosaur National Monument?

 

Nope.

Oooooh well now I know

 

I've been down close to there by Indian Crossing Campground on the Green River (Section C) World class fishing. Awesome area!

 

Anybody know what the biggest battery group size is that will fit in the stock tray with no mods? My battery gave out today. Reading 5 volts from the terminals with the parking lights on. Oddly, it was cranking fine and then just quit right before the engine fired. I have never had a battery do that.

 

I put a group 31 in mine but I had to extend my positive wire and cut my lower tray. only took me fifteen minutes but I had already planned ahead and had all the wire, solder, and tubing. Really did a great job on the wiring but my hold down is now a bungee cord. Damn truck turns over really well!! I will fix my hold down and make it fit the 31 but for the last six months the bungee is perfect for what i do with my truck.

 

Re-did my grille, stoked with how it turned out!

 

A group 24F is the largest that will fit without any modifications.
