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

I'd consider doing wires on any rig after 150k

 

Noted, thanks!

Also for those that live in the rust belt, I reccomend checking under the padding in your cubbies. This is passenger side, and drivers is showing signs of rust but no perforation, yet.

 

Nice! Beefy!!

I should do mine too! Is it pricey? I think i should do wires too

 

I painted my grille guard not too long ago. I found it on Craigslist for $100. Catch is the guy had no idea what vehicle it came off of. I went out to buy it fully knowing it wouldn't fit and I would have to fabricate a new bracket.

Luckily what I didn't notice when I was test fitting it is that the tow hooks were in the way not allowing it to mount properly. I got home, removed the tow hooks, and two holes on each mounting pad fit great.

Thing is the power coat on it was super worn and rusty in some places. I hung it from my garage door opener rafters with a pulley system, used aircraft paint stripper, sanded it with 120>300>400 grit sandpaper, primed it with automotive primer, and finished it off with Rustoleum Bumper Paint. Looks great!

 

and lookie there..the rear body mount bolt.

Not sure..haven't looked at getting them..can't imagine they would be very expensive though..

good find. My first taco came with that bull bar.

Don't expect it to save your truck if you decided to plow a deer at 70mph. It'll just fold over onto the truck since the only mounts are at the base.

Good lookin bull bar though and nice for mounting lights.

 

I didn't think I'd like the white grill on white but man, that looks sharp...

 

Yeah after all this body mount discussion and the carpet being currently out, it has me wondering if I should do the bushings now. I probably won't but probably should.

 

ES kit is around 80 bucks.

not sure what rubber ones are..

 

Go for it. Not hard. Super cheap

 

You are far from the poster child of proper truck care..lol

not that my record is spotless...

 

didn't we just go through all of this in the wyo thread? haha

 

Says the guy without a elocker

 

If it's broken does it count as being built?

I was referring to ben being broken

 

#boughtnotbuilt

 

Took it to the mountain, again.
