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

I was baffled People like that are why I hate FB in general.

 

Yep. Bunch of know it alls that don't have any respect for each other. Of course it's over the age old ball joint argument!

 

They aren't wrong, it's just not a very nice way to put it. Neglect and ignorance is how they typically fail, and neglecting maintenance on something that regularly takes you 60mph and faster is stupid. Also your truck looks great!

 

Facebook is poison. I avoid it at all costs.

 

Could I bother you for a price for a bed mat for a long bed?

 

So normal rtv gasket maker should work fine then. I hate the stuff but It's all I got

 

As long as it is oil contact safe then yeah it should be fine, I have never used the blue so I'm not sure what it's good for. Working on vehicles I've only needed red, grey, and black. The grey or red would both be fine for the diff actuator. Black would be okay but it for heavy oil contact on surfaces that are closer matched.

 

So how do you guys feel about wounding Tacomas for body parts? I found this really sweet PreRunner regular cab with a bed that has never seen a garden trowel or a bag of steer poop. The awesome part is it's the same color as mine so I'd just swap beds and sell the wounded one. My current bed is ok, but has been used like a coked up sorority girl and I hate that someone used DIY bedliner crap on it.

 

Eh, it'll still sell and someone will use it. 4cyl or v6 prerunner?

 

I can't imagine it was a popular combo, but it's a four banger with an automatic. A nice old man truck

 

Line-X that roof!

 

Oh yah, just put it out of its misery, the 4cyl and auto combination is a test of patience. I couldn't stand it, with a manual it feels great and plenty zippy with the automatic it's like waiting for porn on dialup.

 

I almost died.

 

Do you think it would be a tough sell around the $2200 mark after I harvest the minty bed and put my meh one back it it? I've looked at buying another bed on car-part but shipping can get pretty expensive and a grade A bed with a gate is about $1500-2000 before shipping

 

Nah, auto or not 4cyl Toys are easy to sell, people equate Toyota 4cyls with reliability. Especially older folks, even with a beat up bed if the rest is nice and decently clean, runs okay, and miles are below 200k it should sell for above 3k easy.

 

I agree, just not the easiest thing to check without taking it to someone with a special tool to measure it.

And thanks, she's daily, work truck, and trail rig all in one. Makes for an interesting vehicle.

 

I do have them Pt580-35050-lb $85.40 shipped

 

That when you blame your significant other for all your problems you can call her your wife instead of fiancé now?

 

Touché.

 

Got a shell for my ride.
Gonna paint it in a few days


I'll need a new tw sticker now also.......
