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

it's a lot easier to deal with leafs if it's cut off.

 

There's an art to cutting that tip off Gentlemen. The cut has to be at the correct angle.

 

Mine looks like junk ass shit where I cut mine off...

 

Well..see..that's no good. Where's your style, your panache.

 

Any input on which fomoto valve? f103s or f103n? I would say the short one but not sure if it's enough nipple to latch onto...... a drain hose that is

 

I was in a hurry and kinda just winging the whole rear suspension install...

Learned some stuff and haven't died yet.

 

Hit a deer @ about 40mph dead center

Came out (based on how hard the hit felt) expecting front brushguard to be bent in and more damage to my surprise not a scratch. Those steel bumpers sure can take a hit
- also the deer limped away into the bush

 

Good advice. Duly noted.

 

mine are just cut at whichever angle the cutting disc was at ... most of the time ugly

 

Sawzall is much easier, don't have to rotate the grinder all the way around

 

exhaust jiggles too much with a sawzall

plus i just shove the cutting wheel all the way up until it falls off. no adjusting

 

When you guys cut the exhaust did you weld a new hangar at the top of the arc before it turns down?

 

Doesn't need a last hanger, the pipe after the muffler is pretty short and the muffler has two hangers already.

 

Thanks was wondering if it needed or not.....I need to mine as well......especially after my shock relocation I had to bend the last hangars to get it away from resi

 

CB gurus...

3' or 4' firestik for a tailgate mount? I use my CB for trail use only. Might occasionally talk to someone a mile out, but 99.9% of the time they're right in front or behind me. I don't care to go 4ft if it's needed, but prefer it to be no longer than it needs to be.

Pics for attention.

Finished up the vinyl install a couple weeks ago. Install sucks ass. Final product is awesome.

 

I went with the

$37 f103n with LC-10 lever clip fn-series engine oil drain valve, 1 pack

f103n because I'm running after market skids. I have plenty of room 4" to 6" between the drain pan and the. Seemed like it would be easier to get the hose on the longer nipple, without removing the skids. That said I installed it during my last oil change and haven't had to use it yet.

 

Yes, yes it does. When you do your lids I recommend 1/4" staples.

 

Noted. Thanks. Need to bite the bullet and get it over with.

 

i have a 3FT mounted right behind my cab, it matches my whip plus i didnt want them too tall so i could still try to fit in parking garages.

also, where did you get a vinyl flooring? did it come premolded?

 

There are several places to order it with quite a range on price. After some digging around, I found out it's all made in the same plant in Alabama. So, I ordered from rock auto because they were the cheapest.
