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

I'm guessing you have a Manual?

 

Think you did those two things in reverse, haha.

 

Same here.

 

Repainted the grill, trying to decide on what front bumper i wanna go with, thinking about the cbi diy kit

 

I made these myself, @RelentlessFab makes some nice lo pro ones similar to mine

 

Yes, i would do a curved bar they look much cleaner

 

Finally got around to installing my U bolt flip today.

 

Another day, another Mountain.
200miles Saturday, 200mi today

 

Well, this happened... making room.

​

 

Damn, you lose your ass in a poker game?

 

That would have been cheaper . Won't look like that when we meet up Thursday, that's for sure.

 

do you have a manual trans? The a/t only applies to the auto trans.

 

Is your spare a 255 also (I’d imagine it is)?
Really curious as my need for new tires accelerated today....

 

It's funny I have the A/T lights on my truck but the dash connector wasn't pinned for it.

Same goes for the gas light and the windshield washer light. Strangely enough though the 4WD, ABS, and RR DIFF LOCK lights were there and had a bulb plus the wiring, but I didn't have any of them.

 

They're all there. Same reason why a Tacoma has a center diff spot from a 99-03 4Runner iirc.

 

Does it really? On the Cluster?

 

It is. 255/85R16

Doesn't fit under the bed without some modification of the spare carrier down there. I thought I took a picture of it when I did it but apparently not. I cut off the rear two prongs that hang down. Tire just fit, with the receiver I had back there. And, I cut the rear two because there was no room forward - cutting the front two would have allowed the tire to hit the rear diff (and all the stuff that's attached to it, like brakes. And that would have been sub-optimal.

 

I guess I’ll have to mess with it when the time comes, may just have to throw it in the bed for awhile.

One more question, should just read all your thread.

How much lift would you say you have in the front?

 

Pulled the factory running boards off the truck today. 16 years later and damn if it doesn't look a little more sporty without them, should've pulled them years ago.

Now, just need to locate some front flaps. Also need to replace steering rack bushings, outer ties - those parts been sitting in a box forever it seems just waiting for some time.
