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

Took my truck to be aligned, and magically I now have to change an ITRE. So that's my project for later today when my part gets in.

 

Installed new rear shocks, looks like it was past due. Fronts are next!

 

They be upside down.

Exactly.
Cylinder up, rod down. They actually work better that way too.

 

As was stated, yours are upside down.

Also, why does your manifold look like it was painted?

 

Funny, that's the first thing I notice, too. Still, looks good.

 

Sadly that's what they look like in a state where they don't salt and spread piss all over the road. I'm going to hit mine and the valve covers with Aluma Blast paint when I do the valve cover gaskets this summer.

 

it's....not...

 

Oh shit that's what I get for trying to beat the rain

 

Idk It might be painted. But I also pressure washed my engine not that long ago

 

Sound proofing question, I want to do it this weekend have to replace heater core so it already half way apart. Has anyone tried painting bed liner on the floors and then putting the sound dampening cloth down ? Just a thought. Also what's the cheapest material to use that still works good ?

 

Do you have any rust on the floor pans? If yes, I would use some sort of rust converting coating, like POR15. If no rust, than any of the bed liner materials would work good.

 

Hope that's all it is and not your rack. Had my alignment shop tell me my inners where bad, went to do it and they were perfectly fine. it was the rack that had the play in it.

 

best tires ever.

 

IMO, 10" wheels are way too wide for 11.50 tires. Bad idea.

 

I checked it, checked everything before trusting their diagnosis. Just got my 555 Sankei ITRE.

 

Installed OME kit from Wheelers and got on the SCS bandwagon..

 

Took the sr5 logos off mine and couldnt notice after some cleaning and wax.

 

Jeez. Does everything here look like shit but I'm just used to it?

 

probably. Both my trucks intakes look good like that...if you washed the dirt off haha

 

I got mine not too long ago with the groupbuy, looks like a pain to install. I had to stop by Harbor Freight to pick up a riveter. Haven't tackled this beast yet. Anyone have experience with installing these struts?
