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

Anxiously waiting......



Hoping i dont get that call. Sir, now we found that this and that is broken as well

 

@Fernando

having it towed for steering rack bushings? man i wish you were local i would've done it for half a six pack.

 

We fixed the one. So back off, punk.

 

who's we?

 

Its the whole rack. Not just the bushing. She wont drive straight now. I know its only a few bolts. Just got to much going on this weekend to deal with it. 200 aint bad at all

 

i see.

won't beat you up over paying for it when time is a factor.

 

U jelly?

 

Must be nice...

 

When you ditching the plastic bumper?

 

How much you have left?

 

Dunno.

Money and deciding whether or not I actually need anything else are factors.

 

I'm actually surprised everytime I see it, that it doesn't clash too badly with the 95-97 face lower.

 

I have the 95-97 grill and the 98-00 lower. Hate the lower. Viking Brett gave me his 01-04 lower/bumper, which many have successfully put on their 98-00, but I couldn't get the damn thing even close.

I think an 01-04 bumper/lower on my truck would look fuggen sweet. But alas.

 

I'll avoid the car payments!

 

Yeah. I dunno I made it work. Wasn't easy. Had a shop mod my 99 bumper brackets by cutting a piece off and drilling new holes. Still didn't quite line up. So they welded some .5 inch square tube from the bumper mounts to the frame. I'm just giving ya grief.

 

You had to do all of that?

I know of at least three members here who say, "it just bolted right up."

 

Yeah I got that alot too when I was having trouble. I imagine they actually had the 01 bumper mounts though. I did not. Just the bumper. Hell just trying to find the right size and threaded nuts and or bolts for that bumper project was a pain in my ass. But it all paid off until the truck was totalled.

 

Ive noticed that not many, if any at all have a toolbox? Where do you guys keep your tools/gear?

Id like to get rid of mine but i have a 227pc kobalt tool set and a bunch of other miscellaneous tools. I'd like to make more room for a bed rack, gerry cans, spare tire, ect....

 

I had the brackets and all. Didn't even come close to fitting.

If I lined the holes up in the 01-04 brackets with the holes on the frame, the bumper stuck out about 4". And it wasn't touching the frame horns either, not even close.
