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

No I don't.

 

For a cordless drill, or anything that doesn't really have a speed control, the best bits you can use are rated HSS for High Speed Steel. It is usually stamped on the bit near the size.
They're usually listed as "jobber" bits on McMaster, Fastenal, etc.

 

Sweet my bits all have the stamp.

 

I like where your head is at

 

Think the Taco needs an alternator, hooned around Phoenix and it started dipping to 13.9 at stop lights. Shook all my wires and looked for breaks in the cable jacket. Even at stop lights it is usually at 14.5-14.7

 

Lots of curvy mountain roads here though.

 

All I had on were my headlights (basically candles) and my stereo (not very loud). All of which ive had on before with no issue and much higher voltage. Left all that on while testing when I got home.

 

Why are these so sexy? Photo proof

 

Whoa! They're not horribly expensive either! I believe you have found me my new FJ40 rims!

 

Doing a little searching on frame coating for winter. Which would be a better route? Fluid film inside the frame or Eastwoods internal frame coating? Best I can tell my frame is pretty decent internally, external looks great. From the description Eastwoods sounds to me like it would be better for the internals of the frame. What say you?

 

Sand off any current rust before coating anything, inside the frame might be hard, maybe a blow gun w/compressor will help with that.

 

you can pick up locally too in the east bay and avoid shipping costs

 

because @SCSPerformance wheels are legit!

 

Nice pics, looks beautiful out there!

 

looks pretty clean!

 

Has anyone tried these yet. They appear to be new. I don't remember seeing them before.

They aren't for our trucks, only later models 2nd gen and up.

 

Not sure how you figure that thread has anything to do with what I posted. That old thread from 2011 is is about the wheelers brand bumps, Superbumps. Not the same as what I posted.

 

Hmmm... I saw that too but not sure I buy that. They have the samething written on their superbumps page and we both know a couple of members who are running the superbumps on the front of their rigs.
