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

Lmao, no wonder you're having a hard time learning a clutch...I've been driving manuals exclusively for 15 years now and if my seat is so much as moved an inch out of place from where I'm used to it being, it throws off my ability to shift well. Gotta get some seats in that thing lol.

 

Obviously not in the garage. That’s full of Tacoma parts and a bumper that I haven’t finished welding yet!

The 5-lug Tacoma and Civic are mine, and that’s my mom’s E320 parked on the left. My DD Tacoma was actually my dad’s company car at one point, he works out of state so the company gave it to him then he gave it to me. Title is still under his name, probably should transfer it but I don’t see the point right now. Only car I technically have a legal title for under my name is the Civic. 5-lug is in limbo right now.

I have to park the Civic like that to hide the rear tags since they’re expired. HOA is pretty notorious in this neighborhood.

 

Get the GoPro out. We needs vids of it running

 

It must get really hot in Arizona to run that big of a AC pump. Looks good with it painted black though

 

Irritation of the day; bought the truck called their toyota service department to ask if there were any recalls open. They looked it up by the vin and said yes there's a trailers wiring harness issue bring it in and we will take care of it..... I bring it in only for them to tell me of this looks after market your truck doesnt apply for this.... If this dpesnt apply then why does it show up when they run the vin?

 

So I greased my shaft ( ) and the sound is still there but not as bad. May try to pump more in tonight to get me through the next 2 weeks so I can replace it.

 

same thing as an FRS. Just changed the name when it got rolled into toyota. Technically, it was always called the a86 from toyota..

no different than the new supra. Its a collaboration between BMW and toyota. Same deal pretty much. BMW did the drivetrain, toyota did the chassis and suspension. The new Z4 and new Supra will be pretty much the same car.

Toyota it seems is too lazy to do it all themselves anymore..or too cheap. Which sucks.

 

I know that I just wanted to make sure it was getting it's fair share of the love

 

@snowboard704 I just used the daystar 1" body lift on my truck. installed it last month. went with this kit because it was economical and I needed several bits of hardware and didn't want to piece meal it together. Bought it off of Amazon for like 175 bucks or so. Super super happy with the results. body lift is barely noticable, and the ride is absolutely fantastic totally quieted the cab of the truck, and actaully attached the bed lol. would totally buy it again.

 

Can’t you put a cover on the 5lug?

 

You are right about this. Hate when they move my seat around.

 

Nope. HOA will fine us for having an 'inoperable vehicle'. The vehicle has to appear that it works.

 

My fiancé always looks at me funny when I'm so quick to jump and say "NO USE THE OTHER SIDE" when she wants to fold my seat down to get something in the cab...takes me at least a few minutes or more to readjust my seat back to normal after someone changes it.

 

lol our seats have 2 adjustments. The tilt back hardly counts. Should take like 2 seconds to get it back where it was.

 

Its more of a mindfuck for me than anything else...I know that someone screwed with it when they push the seat all the way forward and then I feel like I can't get it right afterward. Wouldn't bother me if I had an auto but with a clutch it really screws with my footwork when it's not right where it's supposed to be. I mean I can still drive just fine but it doesn't 'feel' right. I get that way even with new shoes + driving manual sometimes.

I know I'm but to some degree I think all manual drivers are

 

All you sensitive manual drivers sound like high maintenance women.

 

I just push the seat all the way back. But im tall.

 

Stupid HOA!

 

Installed Bosch MicroEdge windshield wipers - started with getting a heart attack in AutoZone - cost was $28 for a pair - I was in Changsha in January and saw Bosch Technology (same as MicroEdge) for 13 Yuan ($2) a pair and while I was looking around with the shop owner he told me had just bought a Volvo XC90, made in China because as a RICH man he could not afford to drive a regular Geely...... he had become rich of selling $2 windshield wiper pairs... and here big companies cannot stay above water working with 1000 pct margins... by the way... these wipers are made in Mexico same as the ones sold here.....
