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

I assume you mean on the rocker panels? I've wondered this too; it's the same on mine. I figure it's just the paint getting messed up from all the shit that the rockers take the brunt of, but I don't actually know.

 

Mine's the same way and only in that area.

 

That is an applied chip protector. If you look very closely, you can see a distinct line along the top where it stops.

 

Yep. Mine is the same way and that's exactly what it is. Good call!

 

Trying to buy a single tire from Sam's Club, they will not mount the tire because it's an aftermarket set up. Anyone else run into this issue??
Wheel is a 15×10 Not sure offset.
Trying to match up a 255/60 bf goodrich t/a tire. Passenger side (front) has new one, came that way when I purchased.

 

Thats a skiny tire to mount a 10 inch wide wheel

Yea im learning that aperently that guage shpuld had been installed a bit more anti clockwise

 

I gave up on Sam's Club tires. Their prices weren't bad, but their service was terrible. Getting them to honor their free rotations was like pulling teeth. I pull in and park, walk past the bays and see one car being worked on with a couple of guys just standing around. Then I get inside and talk to the guy at the front desk, "Oh, we're booked solid, you'll have wait at least a couple of hours." WTH?

 

Hm..during the process of torqing down oil pan bolts 3 snapped. I stopped there and started ordering new bolts, all of them. Can't trust the old ones now, waste of zinc plating them.

Thinking about heading out to wrench a part to see what I can find from the few 4runners they have onsite.

 

Before I had my truck I'd pay to get oil changes done on my car. I had a spontaneous road trip come up and wanted to get an oil change done that day. I encountered the same thing until I was referred to a Cambodian place in Long Beach with a great reputation. I was told by the person referring me that they'd "do it right now." I showed up and saw cars lined up outside of the shop - my heart sunk. Then a guy came out... to me. I told him I wanted an oil change. He came out with a floor jack and got to work - man that kicked ass. I don't know why more people aren't like this!

 

Got some new fabulous colors... for my engine swap

 

What? Are you using these to mark torqued bolts? They make special paint pens for that

 

No just to mark all the vacuum connections. Coincidentally I am going to use them for marking torqued bolts when I put all of my engine back together lol. What can I say, the price was right...

 

Certainly unique, the blue is pretty fabulous

 

Maybe this member is a female.

 

I think I will use that one the most

Here's what else I got today:


And I'm going to attempt to make my own sst crank pulley tool.

 

If you enjoyed Day 1 of our trip on the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route, I just completed OBDR Day 2: There's always a go-around. Enjoy!

lol believe it or not I took my gender off of the personal details under my avatar about half an hour ago. I was thinking "who's going to mistake me for a girl when I have a guy's name." looks like I did that a little too soon lol. To be fair I've met enough girls named Anthony or Toni(y).
