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

I hear yeah. Wish I went oem. I went with a Napa one and the cap cracked on me so I'm going to have to by another napa one to get another cap. But I'm pretty sure it was my own fault not thinking how I was pressing it in with the open end of the socket pressing down on the cap. Instead of the closed end of the socket. My mistake for sure. Live and learn. I will replace this napa with an oem one this winter for sure. I just need it to get my by for now.

 

Giving jb weld a try....

If not cheapo Amazon ones till I can find a job...

 

Thanks @Star-Lord that worked perfectly. Haven't posted in a while, I ran into a quite a few snags getting everything buttoned up on my suspension. The stock rear leafs and shackles had to be cut off ( thanks again for those daystars @jubei ) and my passenger side cam sleeves were frozen inside the bushings. Ordered a set of whitelines and cheap spc cam bolts, but after having a terrible time getting my lca cut off I said f*** that I'm not doing both sides. Luckily I found a warehouse deal on Amazon for an oem lca with bushings installed. Finally was able to get it aligned with decent numbers. I wasn't planning on lift shackles, but I kind of dig the rake.

 

Well, not today but 2 weeks ago I 3D printed a switch interface for my lighting and future auxiliary switches, however I am excited to say I ordered a set of new dash and climate control panel LEDs in Red for my truck, which I will be getting on monday. Also if you guys want to check out my 3D printed interface check out my youtube video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLNQVLeWwc

 

Got my u bolt flip kit in today.

 

Sold the Prerunner today.

Looking for a Gen 2 Tundra now.

 

condenser and dryer installed as well as new nylog coated o-rings.

 

Go to a u pull out junk yard. Got mine for $5

 

We don't have one of those for 200+ miles, probably no Tacoma's in those either

 

Unless you want to replace door handles every 6 months. Get an oem one

 

What leafs are you running?

 

They aren't that big of a struggle to get to after you get practiced up taking the door panels off.

I don't dare drop 90-180 bucks on anything till I have some source of income....

If anyone wants to go to a pick and pull and get me both sides I'd happily pay you whatever you think your times worth+ the parts and shipping.

 

Delivered 700lbs of pet supplies to animals evacuated from the fires here in norcal..

 

You can check ebay for used OEM door handles. Thats where i got mine.

 

My dad has an 08 double cab TRD 4x4 since new w/ 150k on the clock - best truck he's ever had he says a lot lol. He's had a couple suburbans / a tahoe (yukon) / couple first gen tacos, a precoma, and an xj.

 

Made my sst's for rear main seal driver:

Grand total is less than $10

 

I like to call them crossguns.

I'd challenge a free standing crossgun against a compound any day. It's going to come down to the individual behind the trigger.

 

I did this as well, $40 shipped. Couldn't beat it!
