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

this is why i think when dumb people do this shit it should be legal to "kneecap" them with a baseball bat. hopefully she goes on with her word but good thinking on reporting it.

 

Could you do me a favor and take pix of the step bar mounting points for me?

 

Holy shit. That’s the worst door ding I’ve ever seen!

 

They bolt to the body mount.

 

Yeah I figured that. But do you have to remove the body mount bolt and reuse it once you put the step mount to it?

 

What kind of square tubing did you use on your bedrack dimension wise? 1x2?

 

Yes

 

That thing is getting quite the collection of other truck's parts on it...gonna be giving Frank a run for his money soon

 

@turbodb built it for me but it look like 1". He'd be able to tell you for certain.

 

It's def an amalgamation of junk now haha. It has settled into the roll of a well used wheeling machine well. I was wandering how log it would take to get back up to 100% after the roll, answer is like 3/4 of a year haha

 

I seriously think it's bulls hit how mt pulls you iver for that when you're registered out of state. They got me for tires not having mud flaps.

I'm like..who cares I'm here for a day just passing through?

 

Top platform is 1x1, legs are 1x2. Details here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/crazy-hot-fab-bed-racks.508173/

 

MT is garbage when it comes to pull overs. We got pulled over at the bottom of a big straight hill for speeding last time we were there, cop was sitting at the bottom behind a sign clocking people.

 

But you get to pay your tickets right there on site. Did that on my way to scobey.

 

The highway patrol are terrible. I actually have been super lucky a few times dodging them or they just pass me in Frank. The one that finally got me I was going 70 in an 80 and he was going 65. I tried slowing down to not catch up but there was no going back..didn't get a ticket thankfully but was still not happy that he could even do that for an out of state vehicle. I kind of wondered if i had gotten a ticket if I could have won it in court.

Local pd and sheriff where I am in mt are super chill which is cool.

 

There is a guy on Pirate (says he's a lawyer) who is suing the state of Utah for ticketing out of state vehicles for mudflaps, fender flares, etc. Apparently it's in violation of the commerce clause of the constitution.

 

Perfect

 

I don't remember if we did that or not. Still shit though. I think we just mailed them money

 

My 96 Taco was missing the center console.
