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

That's not true and you know it lol cause once one is done we'd probably buy another one. Hell Monte has 3 already I believe he's going for 10 tacoma first gens get all the years.

 

That light just means you need.more tits on your glass

 

Should've kept the other rims, they look better IMO

 

Baja designs S2

 

When it comes down to replacing the HG since I'm in that far should I replace the timing belt, water pump etc.? I know it'll need to be done within the next year and I have a slow HG leak anyways. It won't be my DD at that point so it could sit for a week or two

 

yeah I would. Valve cover gaskets, spark plugs/wires, thermostat, any idler pulleys that look bad. Inspect the radiator too.

 

I ended up going new. I didnt have time to go junkyard shopping. Used would have been a couple hundred bux. I just rather not deal with it again. Its my dd and i hate when she goes down

 

That moment when your about to buy some cool stuff for the truck. but someone meantions the maintenance stuff you need first. total boner kill lol but I rather take care of maintenance stuff then the engine comment suicide

 

I'll probably do all that next year. This year it's find DD, rear bumper, steering rack, u-joints, random bushings that need replaced.

 

I'm so over due and I keep buying cool stuff. Even halfway to the tundra brake upgrade with some used calipers I picked up recently. Oh well. I will be taking a small break from big adventures this summer, maybe I can do it then.

 

Sounds like you need 800cc of two stroke for fun. Same can be said about the women around here...

 

What manifold is this?

Edit: Nvm apparently it's too much to mark it sold..

 

Have you seen me on 2 wheels? I'm more dangerous then a rhino in a new born room at the hospital.

 

Mine came on the other day too, I hate looking at it.

 

no pics as of yet, but I sprayed my bedliner in last week. used the duplicolor bed armor and looked at it yesterday, and its bubbling in places... wtf. I'm a painter by trade I prepped and cleaned it well wtf

 

Lots of people get a second vehicle to use as a daily driver because it's better on gas. Well do yourself a favor and do the math first to make sure you will actually be saving money. Figure up how many miles you drive, and how much you will save on gas. Then compare it to the cost of buying a new rig. Don't forget to add in insurance, taxes and licensing. In most cases you need to drive a ton of miles to even break even.

 

I had alot to catch up on. How often do you guys grease the bushings on the leaf springs?


Also thinking about removing my sway bar as well, Everytime I hit a trail the sway bar link comes loose and makes the awful knocking noise. I have OME 881 springs. Is that enough spring rate for them to be removed?

 

Mine came on a while back even though the reservoir was full. I just cut the wire.

 

That's the springs I have. Took my sway bar off about six months ago. Don't miss it a bit.

 

It wouldn't just be for the sake of gas, it will mostly be because we will be needing a family car and my truck isn't going to work for that.

Also, I have to fill up with premium which is $4/gallon in southern CA right now...so it's getting to that point
