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

Mine will be changed as soon as the guy in the brown shirt sets them on my porch.

 

Good job, not worth the risk for $200 and 3 hours of you time.

 

Ya... I really should have changed them a while ago. Inner tie rod ends and Whiteline LCA bushings just got ordered as well.

 

I wanted to color-match my mirrors, then I realized my auto vent shades are covering a little of the black triangular piece for the mount. Can I take off the mirror body and leave the other part attached to the door. What about the power supply? Do y'all think it would look funky for the mirror to be " two-tone"?

 

Just tryna help big dog

 

Saturday with @SUGABEAR
Apple Valley to Holcomb Valley, check it out on you tube. 23 miles of dirt road, 2WD friendly, with access of mild to wild 4WD trails.

 

My first trip to Big Bear trails, thanks for showing me @mountain mike

 

Hahahahaha you beat me to the punch!!!

 

Oh... I know.

The waterpump is on the list. I totally agree. But the truck doesn't use coolant, and the gauge is right in the center.

Lower ball joints and tie rods at a quarter million miles, to me, is priority.

 

A lot of them are standard form factors. I have a Midland 101Z? I think in my ashtray. You just need to cut the back of it to make it flush with the trim.

 

Except for the fact that most of the entire truck started life as a quad cab f250! I always thought those things were ridiculous might as well just buy a suburban. As for what I did to my first gen today, well I bought a new cv axle from advance to replace my passenger side one that's spewing grease everywhere.

 

planning my spring trip already

just move out here, then go as much as you want!

 

Went a little north of home today and got some cool shots. Hope you enjoy! If anybody has any suggestions for a new front bumper please let me know.

 

Bilstein 4600's are pretty good. I have them on my non-lifted truck.

 

MMMMMM I LOVE STRIPPED BOLTS

 

Yeah that sucker is on there right I tried pulling the bar and it just broke off.

Any ideas how to get this damn bolt off?

 

Safe to say this goddamn star Bolt won't be coming off anytime soon...



now taking suggestions on how to die painlessly

UPDATE 10:03 PM:

Let's try this metal bar again, but this time with more weld



UPDATE 10:05:

this is why we can't have nice things

 

Cut it flush and take it out after you have more to grab when the tube is off.

 

So I should cut the Bolt head off?
