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

Awesome truck man! How’d you mount your racks?

 

Woot! Finally got this off! Reposition the winch to pull from the top and have it a shake and bake that would make Ricky Bobby proud and it popped off!

I'm kind of surprised how little dirt is inside. I never knew how well ventilated the bellhousing was.

This guy is more or less seized.

Wow yours was much cleaner inside than mine was. Mine was trashed, I used a lot of industrial cleaner on the body and bell housing when I did my clutch.

 

For all of the stupid mud I used to play in I was surprised.

 

Thanks. I did copy their design. Best looking sliders in my opinion, I like the more subtle kickout

 

A little late but had a good time in the snow today down in Bama!


Not as much as some of yall get but its the most I've seen since my Alaskan days

 

I have to go drive around at 1 am to get my snow fix....

 

Ooooooo.... Just got home from our trip to Washington State. Lookie what is waiting for me on my workbench

 

Thinking about getting some scs wheels either stealth 6 or f5 in 16x8 will 3.5" BS be too much? So many different opinions about BS and offset, I'd like to hear from some of you guys running scs wheels. I will mount up my 265/75's for now until I can score some 285's.

 

How much poke do you want, really you can run either but you might need a wheel spacer with 285s to keep em off the UCA.

 

I don't mind the tires poking out a bit, really spacer with 3.5 BS I was thinking that would bring me way far out already. The whole reason I was wanting new wheels was to avoid spacers when I add 13wl calipers.

 

Oil change, plugs, wires and fuel filter fun tonight

 

Nah, I meant spacer with 4.5, 3.5 should be fine but you'll poke quite a bit, especially if you don't have fender flares.

 

Fair enough, my 881's do sag a bit with my tube bumper. Probably would be a good combo for stock

 

Speak for yourself.

Snowed a foot this Sunday.

 

Got a couple things brewing today. Started with the oil pan. Ha! What a joke. The thing came off so easy, no wonder it had a leak. Loose bolts led to a weak seal.

Anyway while it was off I added a -10an oil drain for turbo. Not that I'm going turbo, but what the heck. Sealed that up there, changed the filter.

I made a little Power Steering fitting, -6an so lines can be made most places. Need to find fitting into rack then build line.

Started mocking shock tower braces. I'm thinking 1.5" tube with a node on top where more stuff ties in.

 

Broke my 1st Amazon door handle. Can’t ssy I’m disappointed. Oh well... learn to live without...

 

Go OEM then just spray your doors. Monte has a write up in Igor and it’s super easy. Did my passenger last weekend and it’s nice and smooth. Feels like well ya know

 

Yea I’ll have to, this was more just temporary cause I had no money......
