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

I like mine, if you have a lot of weight you’ll like them.

which it looks like you have sooome for sure.

 

Final piece for upgrading the gauges came in today!

 

Yeah, there's nothing off-the-shelf that will work for my application.

I might give them a call as well, but the shipping will probably kill any potential savings being I can pickup the Alcans.

I think Alcan makes a quality product, given they get it right the first time. Which is also highly dependent on the information you give them, hence why I weighed my truck today.

 

I've been keeping up with it, downside is Ultimate Adventure makes my favorite magazine boring for two issues a year. The try to make it into a calendar, sell the DVDs, and the do bios on the people and rigs but like five of them are the same every year. Crown king is super cool area tho

 

I'm going to have to watch it - news to me!

 

doubt it. Deavers usually run in the 900 range. Alcans are in the 700.

Both are great springs though.

 

It's been one hell of a journey since I got this truck.

Bring back the euro plate! You're better off w/o the poop though.

 

Lol I totally would bring it back if, surprise surprise, California requires a front license plate.

I always found it funny when Benz or Audi owners would keep a Euro plate underneath their U.S. license plate to make it appear it was imported.

 

Wait your truck came from Fremont Toyota? Guess it didn't have to travel very far lol.

 

Sliders and bumpers next up!

 

Yup! It travelled a whole 2.8 miles to the Fremont Toyota dealership on Cushing Parkway from NUMMI almost 20 years ago. It's lived within 20 miles of where it was built ever since 1998.

It was surreal: I took a wrong turn following a friend and I ended up on the access road to the Tesla factory (which was once NUMMI) - I realized the last time my truck was on that access road was when it was on a car carrier brand new in 1998.

Aw hell it was so close by it probably never ever saw a car carrier - they probably drove it off the assembly line and took the 5 minute drive to the dealership.

 

Why is this so accurate

 

AZ is the first state I've been in where they only supply you with one plate. Wanna send me your OUTTATIME plate???

 

Would you believe that's photoshopped? Haha. I actually have a real set hanging in my garage.

No one gets the back to the future reference on my new vanity plate

 

Sure they do, but it is always better when Christopher Lloyd says it in an exasperated tone.

 

Doing my 4WD swap in a week. I'll buy that stuff for Christmas, lol.
