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

Is this only for super charged?

 

Not really, they were made for supercharged applications but every Tacoma has a tstat.

 

Oh okay might have to buy one it gets kinda hot where I live 105°

 

So it's ideal for Texas summers even if I'm N/A

 

This showed up today!!!

 

Does anyone have any advice for removing the chrome off my bumpers and grill ? I want to black it out. Not sure the best approach and long lasting durability. Thanks

 

Remove the grill before you paint. For the bumper you could remove, but I would just tape off around the chrome. You want to scotch brite or sand the chrome surface to create micro abrasions. Clean it with alcohol to remove particles and dirt. Use a good adhesion promoter / self-etching primer.

Mine has been plugged in for months, no issues whatsoever with draining battery.

 

After years of being a garaged truck I'm moving Ol' Red outside to make room for the new daily driver

I feel guilty.

So much so that a carport is being built this spring

 

Moving it out for a Prius too

 

Yup.

I have a feeling I'm going to do any annoying garage shuffle in the winter. Make sure the truck is garaged when I'll be driving it on slick roads, etc

"Good" thing it's supposed to be in the upper 50s and 60s here for the next couple of weeks. Yay winter!

 

May just leave mine in then. only reason I haven't used it a lot was trying to figure out how to shut it off when not in use. it must go into a standby mode. thx man......

 

I'm a simple man, I see Kings and hit the like button....... ; )

 

Metal never looked so fine.

 

All my stuff including my 01 stays garaged under cover when not used

My daily driver 17 Pro slut sits outside neglected like a Calcutta whore

 

Replaced both headlights for $42.00 a set from Amazon. However.....The new "ball & Sockets were loose. Instead of trying to return or replace them I switched the bad ones with the originals.
There was also a plastic mount that was different from original, so I changed that over too.
I also waxed behind the headlights and grill since it was off.

 

Prepare for a "fun" time installing those TC UCA

 

I guess my 10.50's were too wide for factory mud flaps. I messed up on the right side and didnt flip over the plastic. Just have to see how long these last....

 

Shopped for parts.


Still shopping.


Still deciding.
