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

Getting her ready for a butload of accessories.

 

wow, that looks good.

 

Put some work in the last 2wks.
New timing belt and assorted componest. Payed the bucks for oem kit.relocated my washer bottle added the hoses and air tube and dry flow filter.
I put some time into the front end also. Plasti diped the grill. Relocated the blinkers into the marker light housing. And i added a new bumper.

 

So clean!

Is your hood derped?

 

Did you mess around with trying to rebuild the calipers? Mine pulls to the right while braking, I'm wondering if it is my napa reman calipers and if they're worth rebuilding.

 

When I bought my 13WL calipers, I bought them used. First thing I did was buy a rebuild kit from the dealership. Was like 5 bucks (a side) and took me an hour to do both of them. Unless the piston is damaged, they can easily be rebuilt.

 

I might try to rebuild the old set of powdercoated calipers. The frozen cylinders might have just been air in the line that kept them from engaging properly.

Yea lol .its been that way for a few years. I like it and it dose help with the sun glare a bit.

 

is that the Trail Gear Bumper? how was install?

 

I have that same TG low pro rock defense bumper. As usual, I always ask everyone who has one, if they're going to paint that exsposed metal that sticks out behind it. So are you? My truck is "lunar mist" and it stuck out like a sore thumb so I painted all the metal behind it black. Then had the front bumper line x'd. But used self etching primer & rattle canned my TG sliders & TG rear bumper for easy touch ups.

 

Welcome to TW- Looks like a nice rig.

 

Ivan Stewart's are rare, I still like them

same ones I have, trouble is I put the passenger one on almost a year after the driver so the color is off

loose rock in the frame or above the rack somewhere?

I'm OK with them but they remind me too much of the S-10 ZR2 wheels

 

Only 63 i want is 63 chevy leaf springs...lol. Had a set and sold them to a buddy. Shame on me

 

Also....

 

My pretty slutty starlet turned 17 years old today.

So decided to bring her back from the farm and give her a wash.

She doesn’t look bad for 17 years old. Original everything. 210k miles

Contemplating keeping her home permanently, retire her from farm duty, and do a 2018 SR 4 door 4 cyl for the farm

 

Those wheels look so good on our 1st gens.

<----- Takes 10 years off the truck.

 

What size tires do you have? Mine are rubbing just a touch at full left.

 

They are stock size 265/70/16s. Mine don't rub at all. They rubbing on your frame? I know those wheels have a difference in offset from stock of 10mm.

Another member on here mentioned that his rubbed as well, but only after having an alignment. It's possible my alignment is off, but I need to replaced the steering rack/bushings before I get it aligned again.

 

Surprising not to bad. I did most of it myself. But i had a begrudging helper for 2 min to help get a couple bolts started on the 2nd pice.

So.. i thought about it i had the paint ready .but i figured id rock it and see if it bothers me. Right now i dont notice it to much. .
I just rattel caned all of my armor for easy tuch ups and i plan on adding tabs and a hoop later on.

 

Just finished up my tundra branke swap.
