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

Thank you for fueling my laziness...

I did go find my own part number though.
8630004050

 

I got some new wheels, love the sizes in 18s but price sucks butthole. Tires are way to wide and won't be on long.

Thinking
285/65 cooper stt pro (nice width but only 29.8" and weight) 32.8x11.8
275/70 cooper stt pro (proven but more money and heavier) 33.3x11.3
Or
275/70 fierce attitude mt (lighter but not proven) 33.4x11

 

To remove my fender flares or not? Been debating it all day.
Also anyonoe know how much of a PITA it is to replace the ac condesor and compressor?

 

Interested in said flares, if you remove them.

 

Had a little time to burn so I showed the hubs some love. Clean, prime, paint.

 

Compared to the 28inchers on my 01, wow those are massive

 

Is the shell and body different colors ?

 

Yea you weren't supposed to notice lol

 

Do it. I love how 95-97 look without flares. Plus they are super easy to take on and off. So try it and see what you think.

 

Nice job! I am pulling the trigger on this bumper here soon. How much of a gap is recommended between the body and bumper to allow for some flex, 1/2" or 1/4"? And did you end up reinforcing the rear bedsides that were cut? I have heard the rear bedsides flex some when they are cut.

 

Threw the hi-lift on the new bedrack

 

IDK, man. I love my fierce tires. I put 45k on the first set and still had 9/32 left. Very nice all around tire. They've taken me thru some hard areas (mud, snow, sharp and hard volcanic rocks) and pretty good on the road. On set#2. 285/75/16. Wish they made a 255/85/16.

 

Got bored. Finally got rid of the clock that never worked and put in a couple switches that have been sitting on a shelf for 4 years. Had an extra slot so I put in another usb charger, too.

three is better then two though haha

 

I like that "ho ho ho". Wife would shoot me if I got it.
BTW, we're heading to Chy-oming at the end of the week. Too bad we won't be in my truck or I'd ask to have you show me some cool spots.

 

That's what I did but my truck didn't come with the clock

 

nice what you headed over for?

 

Her sister has decided to renew her vows for the third time. I always thought the first time was forever. What do I know.......?
Anyway, that and spend a few days at their cabin in medicine bow
