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

Yeah they're pretty bad, I'll give you that. I've never welded in my life and that was my first major project. Haven't perfected it yet but it's getting there.

 

I'm sleeping in the dog house guys. My ol' lady saw the receipt for my "top secret project" lol. what she doesn't know that I got guys coming in tomorrow for a new kitchen for her. So I say it's worth it.

 

Saw this on Reddit. 50 new Tacoma/Tundra frames and control arms for warranty replacements.

 

I didn't look up which model you posted but I have the 3/8s Milwaukee impact and it does most things. On the highest setting it torques lugs to around 80ftlbs. It won't break lugs that were tightened last by a tire shop though. It's also been enough to break the axle nut loose. I think they make a 3/8 and 1/2 drive model with the same number then a bigger 1/2 higher output one that is quite a bit bigger in size. The smaller 2.0 batteries don't seem to have as much oomph as the 5.0 I have FWIW.

 

I need location and security Intel so I can snag a couple of those. I'll drop one tacoma frame by your place as payment

 

Good luck taking one from the stack without a forklift... lol.

 

He’s in Cali, he doesnt need one. So just drop it at mine.

 

Anyone have issues with their tundra breaks squeaking.

 

....... It's worth pulling a hamstring or back lol

 

Mine haven't squeaked at all. Did you bed in the brake pads?

 

Talking to some T100 fellas and it looks like the 97-98 got the better ecu and can handle boost. Wonder why they didn't do the same with that year taco.

Man! I want to see some candid pics of when she realizes what's going on!

Keep us informed!

 

What rotors are you running? Drilled and slotted ?

 

Rust? I've never met her.

 

me either. What is snow?

 

Probably one of the best things about the state, that and the hot beach’s.

Cold>hot

 

Shes going to feel like a asshole which makes this so much worth it. After all the money I'm spending on the truck it's only fair that she gets something nice. Thankfully she loves her vw golf so no need of a new car. And she doesn't want to get married. Only down side of her is she hates camping and anything offroading. But hey she's an amazing cook lol

 

Yeah, go buy some scrape metal and practice a lot before you make your bumper and for sure before you attempt welding on your sliders.

they did..

97 is the first year of supported TRD blower on tacomas as well.

 

I'll take the no rust but I want snow still.

Warm weather all year round would be boring to me. Plus my family would give me hell during the winter months lol. Which is why I moved further north than them

 

ah hem...when you're determined...
