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

About what I've heard from most everyone. I will probably take it off and see how it is. I can always put it back on, so it's worth trying it out.

 

Very interested in how this is going work out.

 

Was that the guy I got the rear bumper from?

 

Yep. I had someone moving from Riverside to Sunnyvale bring it up with them.

 

I remember those days. How you like these 2x4's?

​

OK you two, I'll play. Let's see... straight shots from Grand Junction (but really a couple hours earlier in Colorado National Monument) and from Green River (but really, Panorama Point). And therein lies the problem with living in a corner of the country.

Guess it could be worse, it could be the two east corners. So really, this is just another way to get @BartMaster1234 out there. I mean... 45 minutes?

 

The wood support on the bottom is clever. What is that, drywall?

 

Yah, 4x8' sheets on top, 4x12' on the bottom. Was the only way to not have them break in half on the way home. Was still a SLOWWWW drive, hahahahah!

 

Couldn't be as bad as driving on the interstate with this thing.

The drag it made...

 

Anyone know ifs it’s possible to start our trucks with a screw driver for a couple of days? What needs to be done?

 

...lolwut

Hotwire it. What's the issue with your ignition?

 

I hate mudding drywall haha, hanging it was easy with the drywall gun, but man I hated using the mud.

 

hahaha, I remember your original post with that; at the time thought "I've wanted a bigger compressor, but maybe not that big." Still want a bigger compressor!

 

I don't mind the hanging or mudding. It's the sanding (dust everywhere) I hate. Luckily there's less of that now that I've done so much mudding.

 

I'm terrible at mudding.

You see my friend in the orange sweatshirt in that first pic with the air compressor? He got upset one day, and he punched a big hole in his wall. He called me in a panic and asked me to fix it. Luckily for him I cut an equally sized hole in my room to fish some CCTV cables through a week before and still had the piece.

Cut his hole even bigger, did a terrible mud job, and just put a poster over it because the hole looked better than my drywall repair attempt.

Mudding is an art. Both the truck one and the construction one.

 

Still wish I found a dual stage one... LOL

My sandblaster eats through a lot of air. My 60 gallon tank can only run it for a couple minutes without having to refill.

 

Key cylinder - rod deal thing - ignition switch



Rod deal broke

 

All it is is a switch, can you short the right wires going into that tricking the ignition into thinking there's a key?

Other Toyotas used the same ignition. Go pick one up from a Camry or a 4Runner

 

I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Too dumb for electrical stuff I guess

 

All the key is doing is completing a circuit, if you can connect the right wires to each other you can trick the ignition into thinking you put in the key.

Or something like that. I'm just paraphrasing here. This is basically just ghetto hotwiring.

Go to the junkyard and buy an ignition from late 90's early 2000's Toyota vehicles. They were mostly the same.

 

We don’t have one of those here hahaha.

I’ll just order the rod deal from Amazon and wait I guess.
