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

Kids gone for a ride...showing his brothers his new truck...lol

 

Love the color. I always see black ones - never in that color.

 

Enjoy it guys! Looking at it more and more made me wish I would just fix it up into a 2wd beast lol

When I first got it too I did exactly what tyler is doing...checking out that first aid kit lol

 

I did everything I could to get that SWR down. I even installed a grounding strap from a Ford. Didn’t do anything.

Cop siren is pretty cool. Very very illegal, but it’s fun to scare your friends with. That makes it worth it to me.

This video was the inspiration:

 

He's already trying to rob the house first aid kit..lol

 

When I was 19, buddy of mine got an old detective cop car at an auction and it still had the red/blue interior lights and a spotlight by the driver's mirror...we had so much fun rolling up to the local underage drinking spots and scaring the shit out of people, until one day he got busted doing it and almost got arrested for impersonating a police officer, lol. Dumb shit we used to do as kids...

 

Are bandaids and ointments even good nearly 20 years later? lol

 

K

Kinda crusty..lol. He's gonna put his fishing and camping gear in the back..

 

Talk about dumb shit... I tried drag racing against a Tesla P100D, in my Tacoma.

I think the P100D does 0-60 in 2.27 seconds. The Auto I4 Tacoma does 0-60 in 3... years.

 

Nice! What I liked about the xterra is the ruggedness of the suv. The roof rack and “cargo basket” were awesome

 

I changed all the driveline fluids, rear diff, front diff, transfer case and transmission. I'm so anal that I went ahead and bought new front diff plugs because I've heard stories about them being a real pain. I used all Redline products.

 

Whatd you do for the platform? Just plywood wrapped?

 

Hit the weekly mowing route. Idk how y’all tow cars with these trucks, so damn sluggish with just a 6x12 trailer and two mowers

 

Local shop quoted me $285 to reboot my CV axle not including the boot kit (I told them I could get the kit for half of what they quoted me). My response to this was to buy $500 in various tools and equipment so I can do it myself next weekend.

 

Plugs and wires from Toyota

 

New latch for the old Jason topper didn’t match up to the way the old lock locating hole was cut, horizontal vs vertical, so liberal application of stepped drill and a little fabri-cobbling was in order.

Boom! Adapter plate!

 

Same - well, soon. Just put a parts order in with Camelback, plugs/wires part of it. 156k I believe and original wires, figure it was time to swap them out.

 

Man I did that for years. From 3rd grade I towed a bike trailer with a lush mower weed eater and blower with gas till high school and got a trailer and zero turn Dixon mower. Fun job. Those were the days.

 

Put some fox 2.0 shocks in the rear and relocated my cb antenna..welded on a tab and welded the other hole in the front.
