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

This just some 1/4" square rod welded to the outside of the stock ones? Nice

 

Thank you.

 

Yup. Fresh frame and non bent over already tabs makes it for a nice clean slate to work with. Only down side was cleaning the necessary paint off on the ones closer to the front diff/cv's was much harder to do so some of the welds are even worse.

But they aren't going anywhere so that's all that matters to me.

 

Glad to hear your ok buddy! Sorry about your taco loss.

 

Awesome bud! The lift makes it so much easier for sure.

 

Nice I like it

 

"Holy HELL!"

Glad you are ok and you can get another 1st Gen Tacoma!

 

Boy look at all that carbon build up. I thought if you go WOT you burn it off?

 

Wow man, glad you're okay. Sorry about your truck, sentimentality aside, it's replaceable but your life isn't.

 

Excuse my filthy truck (thanks work) but I added this 3d printed cup holder/flashlight holder/ phone holder deal to my center console and I dig it! Attaches by hanging off of the outer lip of the shifter, uses 3m double sided tape, and 2 self tappers.

 

I ordered my self one of these too should be getting it Wednesday

 

Threw some 265/75/16 BFG KO2s at it

 

Glad to hear you are ok. Amazing given the amount of damage....sorry you lost the truck, but glad you are walking and safe!

 

Is this just to keep them from moving?

 

It appears the driver side one is broken? Or really fucked up. The boot had been torn for a long time already. Hopefully this fixes my steering issue

 

Yeah man. Luckily one of our now banned 2nd gen members @PSUtaco built a nice heated pole barn to do the work in. I cant even imagine doing it on the ground like you did. Was hard enough doing it on a lift.

Yes, to keep the tabs from bending over really. Typically most people go this route:

But as you can see it's a very involved process, and kind of a pain in the dick. This was only half a pain in the dick. If you already have bent over tabs, it is probably better to go the TC route.

 

Seems simple enough. Might go this route when i get around to it. I do like to keep the pain in my dick at a minimum after all

 

But that's not carbon.

 

Dirt?

 

There's probably some of that too, but that's oil.
