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

They don't. I bought it from another member. He also had sliders and a front bumper. I guess he blew his engine before getting around to putting them together.

 

I did this today

 

Saw all my tundra parts an yelled at them to install themselves on my Tacoma they just sat there......wish it was that easy lol

 

Bout to try and tune today. First gonna try and eliminate the leanout and figure out what the hell is causing the multiple cylinder misfire

 

Led strip lights would probably work for what you need. They won't look like daylight but are more than enough to see what you're doing.

 

Replaced the front 5100's I installed back in 2007 with a set of new Sway Away 2.0's today. Believe it or not the 5100's both started leaking a couple of months ago surprised they lasted any where this long since I have put them trough hell and back....... Also noticed the old coils were binding this truck is an SR5 but I guess it had the progressive coils as well thought only the trd's got these or they are really sagged on top? Either way truck rides like a boss now just need to take a bit of pre-load off the front to get her level again.

Ohhh you bought that. Did you go and pick it up yourself?

It's funny I'm out here in Los Angeles right now but I don't think that front bumper will fit in the overhead compartment of the plane. Lol.

How hard was the assembly?

 

Yes. A friend of mine and I drove down on a Saturday morning, picked it up, and got home by 5. Long day. I drove a 2010 Rav4 to save on fuel costs.

Assembly wasn't too bad. Tolerances could be a little tighter. I'm sure there's a preferred order to welding the pieces together, but the directions didn't say. And I think there's a design flaw with the hidden hitch. I won't weld that in until I figure out a solution. Regardless, I'm glad I picked it up.

 

Looks clean! More details on install if possible.

 

Didn't really feel a difference...

I got these ones. No body lift.

You going to add any panel protection to it?

 

I plan to. I really wanted their wrap-around bumper, but this came up. I figured I could add on what I need later.

 

Had a friend weld my sliders on went back to his house and fuck he didn't measure and there to far forward.

 

Is it just a straight pipe? If so just cut it ?

 

No sadly there not. So I might just cut the end and put a new plate on the end only problem is that's going to weaken them some

 

260k on the mountain today-

And I have a ujoint going bad somewhere,have to look closer tomorrow after I hose it off.


Also have some new to me blue shocks waiting for me at home, so that exciting.

 

Ripped out my old broken springs and got my Alcans installed today.

Morgan @foxrcing07 bailed my ass out this morning by bringing me a bolt extractor for this bolt. Worked like a champ!

 

The kit I ordered from Aircabinman came in today. Came with the wrong thermostat.

So... I went to the stealership... 52 bucks for a damn thermostat.

 

Drove in the snow.
