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

First real run with the 255’s, gas mileage seems to be about the same really but can definitely see a difference in power which is fine, it’s not a race car.

Seemed to have trimmed/ hit everything that rubs I think.

Here’s some poser pictures:

 

For how much I hate steelies, they actually look good on yours. Must be the contrast thing

 

Cool way to save money ! ,looks good,
I paid the $545 line X , that and the remote starter and all fluids changed to synthetic are the most expensive items dropped in my little Tacoma, NO more Christmas , anniversary , birthday etc gifts for me until 9-2020

 

can anyone give me some info on these torx bolts for the door assembly? Possibly a source to buy some outside of going straight through Toyota. I think they’re T55 in size but I can’t seem to find any online. I was down to 1 out of 3 on my driver door. It wouldn’t shut so I took one from the back door to hold me over until I can get more.

 

should be able to go to Ace or some where similar and find any of those heads.

 

I was thinking about hitting NAPA after work today to see if they had em but I was scouting online and couldn’t find anything. Thought it was strange. Thanks!

 

Getting CEL 1782, any suggestions?

 

P1782 Transfer Case Actuary Jammed Internally:

 

Salvage yard. You'll probably get them for free

 

What's funny is, I don't have a transfer case.

BUT it's fixed. Looks like the grey wire mod was the culprit.

 

I don' know where you are in so cal, but if you are near Whittier, there is a store named Battles Hardware on Whittier Blvd that has every screw I have ever needed, including the ones that hold our tiedown hooks in the bed. Mine were all rusty, they had exact replacement.

 

Im down in east county San Diego so that’s quite a ways away. I’m going to check some local hardware shops in the area. Thanks though.

 

Played around to see how much more the suspension would cycle without a sway bar, feels a lot better the body doesn’t roll as bad when flexed out. Also my bosses jeep Cherokee wouldn’t climb this hill for some reason so had to show him how it’s done

 

Finished my lift. Picked up about an inch and a quarter or so. The ride is firm but not harsh by any means and the truck sits perfectly level. I may go back in this summer and raise the 5100 to the .67" mark when things are done settling, as I can also raise my lift shackle up another half inch as well. Will post pics tomorrow when it's light outside.

 

Will a camper shell off a regular cab fit an extended?

 

There is a bolt manufacturer of Miramar rd and then some ;-)

The short answer is maybe. Depends on if the manufacturer of the shell was making it really sleek or not. The extended cabs have a rounded back end of the cab and the regular cab is fairly vertical. Chances are if it was originally from a regular cab it'll fit but the gap between it and the cab will just be very large.

 

MBN to shed hunt right now...new Colorado law prevents us from doing so until the beginning of May...

 

Put in my aal and flipped my rear 5100 the proper direction pics will come later.

Excited to drive it down to my family farm this weekend amd get some good wheeling pics of it and hopefully some pictures of largemouth bass

 

I dunno what MBN means, Utah had a law last year because of the snow, not this year though, surprised the division didn't follow the other states.

I'm sure you guys have some people out breaking that law though, we did...
