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

Hood pins! And getting up close and personal with the truck

 

Looks clean! Could I get some pics of how the pins are mounted to the core support? Working on that myself.

 

Sure I can try and grab some pics tomorrow. Basically we used holes that were already in the core support. Just had to drill them out a little. Looking in the engine bay, the hole to the right of the battery hold down bracket (and the corresponding one on the passenger side).

 

I may or may not be that lucky - the hood I bought already has holes drilled, although it's fiberglass so I could always drill new ones and fill in the existing ones.

 

Oh I see. I'd think the holes would line up somewhere on the core support haha

 

I believe so from what I can tell. Everything's suspect with this hood - it came off of a race truck and the fiberglass was never fitted to clear the cab - a lot of the cab so it's still 3/4" out of position.

 

Thank you guys. I was looking in that general area but wanted to get your opinions. I'll see what I can do.

 

Welp this happened this past weekend. Finally popped my cherry. Broken CV, surprised it took this long to happen ha

 

Took her out and got it dirty.

I need to get some traction.

Finally made my KM2's live up to their reputation.


I have been on 5 wheeling trips this year. A KM2 died from sidewall failure on two of said trips.

 

You sure the tire place didn't swap with Duracraps?

 

Then they should work out nicely for you, I believe. Plus at $9ea you can't go wrong.

 

Pretty sure. Ha.

Sucks because I really like the tire otherwise.

 

Nope Autozone, but I got 2 OEM rebuilt axles for 3 beers. So I think I came out ahead

Will be replacing my other Autozone axle with the OEM and using as a replacement

 

15psi.

Yeah, really fast. Ha ha.

 

Bummer Before or during the winch?

 

Before, used the winch to attempt to get me up and out of the trail but it was easier just to get tools and parts and come back up. Once that happened took an hour and a half back to camp. 30 minutes of that was back to camp ha

 

Same, it's been 3-4 years and no issue until now. Bearing failed not the shaft, don't know why it failed. I'll go back and watch the video more. Good spares tho

 

15s? Might be a problem for my brake upgrade. Don't think 15s clear the caliper.

 

Oh. Big brakes? ! Yea 15s are a no go
