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

lol whats weird, is i never get the tag notification for that shit...ever. Whatever.

 

Looks like they just f'up the tag. No space.

 

They do it on every single post ha.

 

Test fitted my projectors. I'm in love with the mini turbine shroud! Now time to prep the housing and shroud for painting!

 

Finally installed seat side cover plates. No more side cover hanging on the floor. These things kick ass!!

 

And the description. "Flexing?"

 

What tracks did you put on? Needing to add a rack on my camper shell

 

well..that explains that

 

So I got my CVJ axles installed, also lower back joints. Ended up having to do my tie rod ends which wasn't too bad. Finished everything up this morning. Only place I could get an alignment today was farm n fleet. They did say that my caster n camber bolts were seized..also included pics of the current cv angles.

 

Alright cool thanks guys! I'll have to snag one of those. Didn't think about heat figured everybody used power washer. Ah well, live and learn

 

I started putting my name on the ones I thought were decent

 

I was going to use the mini turbine shrouds but you have to use the 7.0 mini h1 projectors and I wanted the 4.0 d2s projectors. Looks good!

 

Here are a couple of pics of the fresh Raptor Liner, followed by a make shift bed mat to use for ice fishing (so sled, auger, etc don't beat it up).

My father in law had an old bed liner from a full size that was being thrown out. I just cut it down to fit.
Function over form in this case.

 

Looks great, how difficult was it to do?

 

Not bad at all. under 1 hour total. Created a template from painters paper. Getting that just right took some time but once that was done, cutting the actual mat was simple

 

How hard was the raptor liner to do?

 

It's not hard, just time consuming. Lots of sanding and prep work.
Rolling bedliner isn't that difficult

 

I did all the prep work and didn't take any shortcuts (several nights worth of work). It was a lot of work to ensure ALL surfaces, cracks, corners etc were sanded and de-greased. Then I used etch primer to ensure strong adhesion. When the prep was done, I brought the truck over to my father in laws to do the actual spraying (he is an auto body guy) . He used the U-POL spray gun. it was a pretty quick job once it was masked off. He laid it on quite thick. 5 bottles in all which is more than standard for such a small box. It turned out flawless.

 

Pulled the motor on my brothers '95

 

@Blackdawg you guys have some amazing trails! Where is that!? Makes me wanna jump in the rig n head north! That looks like an old pick with your rack on there
