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

Finally washed it, however it really needs attention on some other issues.

 

Mission accomplished. Driver side lbj was in real bad shape. Won't have to worry about them for another 90k miles ( I hope) getting an alignment as I post this.

 

I did this today.
I'm painting it now. @Ritchie. Your truck inspired me. Lol


I do have one extra piece.
All you have to do is cut your grill and cut the sheet to fit. If anyone wants it. It's aluminum easy to cut.
Free to anyone close to Ramona or rancho Bernardo.

 

Decided to throw the spacers on this morning. Pretty straight forward. Clears the frame now by about 1/4" and only hitting plastic (not flexed). Will trim that up.

Before:



After: Spidertrax 1.25" spacers



And I had to glue those wheel weights back on in the bottom corner...

This 255/85 size is growing on more and more

 

Anybody know the actual bulbs that go in an 01-04 one piece assembly? Need headlights asap. Thx.....

 

9003 iirc. I'm assuming those use the same bulb as oem housings?

 

Went to see some wild horses today.

 

That's cool, where did you see them? Wish Washington still had them roaming all over, all we have now is a monument to them that gets vandalized a lot.

 

Enumclaw... ... just sayin...

 

A place in Maryland called Assateague Island. Spent the day with my wife and pup on the beach.

 

I tried test fitting the paper gasket for the rear diff and it tore. I'm not all that keen on ordering another one from Toyota. I do have a new tube of Toyota FIPG. Has anyone used that?

 

That's awesome, I've heard about that place. I'll have to put it on the list of places to see.

 

I thought that is what was recommended.

 

FSM says just the paper gasket

 

Good thing we don't have an emoji for that. Wild horses are nationally protected, as in you get in pretty big trouble if you even pet them.

Hmm, well since the housings are both tough metals I suppose you could get a sheet of gasket material and use the hammer method to cut it to shape. Even a cereal box makes a pretty good gasket in a pinch, plus you're holding in a thick fluid.

 

I think the burning banana is enough haha

 

I dunno. I converted from 98-00. So this was a 1 piece 01-04. Thx for the input man. I need to double check before I order.......

 

most sites I looked on show 9003 (or H4) bulb for my truck (01). I really need to wet sand my lenses. they are dingy yellow... But I really like the look of those 1 piece, just read a lot of mixed reviews on them. which brand did you go with?

 

I don't get it, what's with Enumclaw? And seriously on the petting?

 

google "enumclaw horse"...
