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

Yeah I recognized the UWS logo - just need the model of it.

 

The Maze, Canyonlands
Day 3: Are We Stuck in The Maze?​

...as I poked my head out the tent, I noticed that not only was it windy,
but there was just a bit of snow falling - a sure sign that there'd be
no sunrise to capture. "Oh well, I thought - I got a couple good ones
already this trip, I'll get another hour or so of sleep and hopefully
the snow will have stopped when we get up."

Oh, was I wrong.

catch up on THE MAZE 2018: [Day 1] [Day 2] [Day 3]

... and that's the story as I experienced it. Get out there, it's amazing!

I can't seem to find it on their website anymore but this is one that is essentially the same but with two handles to open it. http://www.uwsta.com/c/storage-solutions_utility-chest-series_standard-chest

 

I checked today but it doesn't have a serial on it. It measures 36''. I think this would be it: #EC20152 http://www.uwsta.com/p/36-truck-tool-box-heavy-duty-packaging-3?pp=12

Mine might be an older model, only has 1 pull handle or the picture might not be of exact product.

 

Start here. The more information you can give them about how you will use your truck, what your expectations are and the weights you will be carrying, the better the end results will be

Nope I have not.

In the works though. Just never have the time anymore..

Yeah thats my point. He has those cheap temp shocks in but has Kings ready to go in. Im sure that will help having the heims in the shocks.

 

wrapped my steering wheel with paracord and i got my bumper fit up onto my truck

 

Got these in the mail, hopefully I can get it done tonight.

Gonna try @Timmah! ’s method of pressing out the old bushings instead of burning them like Total Chaos’s instructions tell you to do.

Maybe I’ll be able to get an alignment and throw my tires on

 

Holy god that's expensive, thanks for the link! Got other priorities for now...

I'm happy with my $90 plastic trailer tongue box for now, LOL!

 

Disconnecting your tie rod ends from the LBJ's makes it a lot easier to move the rack around under there.

 

mine hammered out pretty easy.

lifting front wheels off the ground was enough for me.





overall a pretty quick job.

 

I’ll definilty try the easy ways first but have the clamp deal just in case.

Are you all done setting up your turbo stuff or do you still have to button some stuff up? Popped into my head randomly.

 

Cut the lip off one side of the old rubber bushings, they'll push out really easily after that.

 

I got a call from the Dyno guys my 4.7L generates 280hp at the fly wheel. I'm probably going to get about 230 at the rear tires.

 

sounds stock to me.

 

They probably can get more power out of it with a remapping or if I want to go forced induction. I'm still undecided lol but our 3.4L only do 190hp stock but with the TRD supercharger we get around 230

 

But the exhaust will sound decent, Atleast most V8’s around here do, makes it worth it

 

And about 100 more torque helps to

 

guess i haven't posted here but i pretty much have the build done. its drivable but im waitn on a few other things.
