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

Def don't hang with any of them, but autoparts stores are filled with these so called offroaders.

 

Offroading is not playing in the mud for sure.

 

Yeah that's a thing of its own. Although those trucks that they use for playing in the huge mud pits are neat too (you know the ones, they look like someone put some painters scaffolding under them) from an engineering standpoint at least.

 

Next time we go out in the rocks you should come along. I don't like mud.

 

I'm down any time I don't have my truck torn apart! Just gimme a heads up

 

Will do.

 

From an engineer's standpoint, the only thing I want to do is not be anywhere near them when they're going down the highway.

 

Got a new one. In the process of switching everything over. Still need to get the leafs installed, new tires on the MK6s, and then finish gassing the ADS setup so I can be complete.

 

This is offroading

 

Hell yeah. THIS is what I think of when I hear 'offroading'. But far too many people associate mudding with offroading. Mud sucks. Always avoided. Typically the term 'wheeling' helps a little bit to get a better understanding. And if they don't know what it means, you explain and then from then on they know what you mean.

 

Finally swapped out my passenger side cv today. I used a carquest one that I got for 55 bucks. I honestly can't believe how easy it was, I've been dreading it since I picked up the new axle last week. I also went ahead and placed an order with RCI for a front skid, hopefully I made the right choice as I couldn't make up my mind on who's plate I wanted.

 

Who you kidding thats not off roading, its that high society thing Overlanding....... J.k

 

Hey don't shit talk super swampers

 

That looks familiar, (stub shaft part # 4130635030) took a couple hours to clean out all the metal shards in the locker, I put a new bonded seal in there while I was at it. (ARB Part # 160701 if you need it)

 

If it isn't super localized to the front drivers side, maybe axle wrap? If it feels like it's coming from up front maybe LBJ's are starting to fail

 

These “frosted” decals came on all four windows. They look OEM but I’ve never seen it before. Does anyone have these on their truck? Are they removable?

 

Removable

 

Take a new razor blade and scrape them off, should come off without much trouble. It won't scratch the glass or anything.

 

I thought about getting some MK6s. Nice rim for the money. Even had some decals made to cover that lovely "8" on the center cap. If you're interested, I'll send you some.

Would look something like this.
