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

Haven’t seen that, only ever seen them on 4Runners, FJ Cruisers and 2nd/3rd gen Tacos.

 

easy way to find out. Grab a tape measure!

 

Love that color

 

how'd you find out you had a leaky windshield? Was it obvious? Ive got a leak that tends to get the carpets under the floor mats wet and I can not find where its coming from. I always just tell myself its from me getting in and out with wet shoes but it seems to be more than that.

 

Your AC drain could be plugged?

 

Wheres that located? Wouldn't it only be wet with the AC on?

 

Alright I measured between outer edges and got 7”, total wheel width is 8”. I measured from the mounting surface to the outer edge of the wheel and got 4 3/8.” BS might be slightly more as I was just using a box for a straight edge measurement but it shouldn’t be over 4 1/2.”

 

I happened to get a crack and the tech came to change it out and wouldn't do it. Too much surface rust in the track below the butyl rubber seal. Bad repair job from PO. I had to have a body shop repair and paint before they would replace it.

 

where would you guys buy your first front plate bumper? CBI, All-Pro or Relentless Fab?

 

Usually yes. Its a small hose kind of on the passenger side of the firewall in the engine bay. Just points straight down. Sticking a coat hanger up it can help dislodge anything. Might be worth a shot.

Nice! Should be good to go then!

Wow..that sucks.

 

There’s a TSB on these trucks for a leak. Check out this link:

Allpro i guess moved back to cali? Thought i saw that somewhere. So there are pretty behind. CBI is an okay bumper, i don't love it personally but it will be by FAR your quickest option and fastest deliever. Relentless is a great bumper. Might have to wait a bit though.

Bruteforce makes a sweet one too but will have a really long wait.

4xinovations plate one is okay. No idea on turn around time.

Pelfrey hasn't released theirs quite yet but soon, could make a deposit on it anyways.

 

@Blackdawg Are those seat covers? They look nice...

 

well...its not my truck haha but yes those look like Wet Oakle seat covers. They are very nice, just expensive.

 

If you’re shopping around you might not want to go with All Pro at the moment. Seems they are having some issues with fulfilling orders and communicating to their customers. I do like their Apex bumper though.

Your defroster uses the AC to dry the air FYI.

 

yea, i dont mind waiting gives me the time to get the lights and winch so i can install them in one go lol

 

AC belt blew up anyway, but Im gonna check all that out tomorrow. Didnt know that though.

 

Love my Shrockworks bumper. Could be another option for ya.

 

I just found out the other day, mine was actually letting in drops right on my passenger :/ Oh well guess I have a real excuse to change it now
