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

This. And now, headed to break it in! Full write-up later, of course.

​

 

You will love that bumper. Looks great!

 

ride height looks perfect now. Looks great!

 

Ehh, not quite that hot, but the sun in Colorado is intense. Vehicles get all kinds of hot without a reflective screen in the windshield.

I was fine from mid-Sept. till now, thinking I want it done by beginning of June at the latest.

 

Ultimately will be my choice of bumper if Pelfreybilts doesn't work out. Only issue is no spot for flush lights, have to fab my own in.

Looks good tho

 

Not sure if these guys know what they are doing when it comes to ac work.

They should have been able to find the leak quicker than that.

Please be sure to comment on what they find.

 

Will do

 

man it would be bad news for me (or good?) if I lived that close to an aftermarket company's HQ like that, especially CBI.

 

Lol the sun is intense in AZ too. We go over 110 regularly, and "When temperatures reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit, even with a window partially open, the temperature inside a car can reach 138 degrees in 5 minutes, and up to 150 degrees in 15 minutes"

 

I think AZ is the only place that has it worse than we do here in SoCal (inland area). Summer here regularly sees 100+ temps through the beginning of Oct.
I guess we at least can find some reprieve by heading up to the mountains or the coast where it's 20 or so degrees cooler on the hottest days.

 

I'll take 110 in AZ over 90 in Georgia or anywhere over there in that shitty humid muggy hell.

 

True, I'll take dry heat over humidity any day. But the worst of both is a lose/lose situation...either you feel like you're in an oven, or you're in a sauna. One of the biggest reasons I can't wait to move up north.

 

Math is math. 90 degrees and 90 humidity is hell but we also get over 40% humidity in the summer. Check out 110 plus 40% humidity we are in the "extreme" bracket most of the summer

 

So much this. People down here don't understand when I tell them that. They think 20* will be hell, nah this is hell walking outside for 5 minutes feeling like you just took a shower

 

Id still take the dry over the humid. I HATE that shit. So much more uncomfortable.

 

So how hard are the tie rods to do? Low ranges video makes it look fairly simple.

Pretty sure mines ultra f*cked

The inner one, I think.

 

I do agree there, humidity does suck

 

Never done inners. Outers are super easy

 

How bad is your steering rack? Are you getting OEM ITRE? If so just get a new steering rack it's about $570 or so from Gunny but comes with new ITRE which those alone are $170 a pop. Or you can get the Low Range ITRE, not too difficult just make sure you have a big enough wrench
