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

Yay truck is finally in the shop as of noon today. Should be done friday which means I can return my brother's wannabe truck lol.

 

Fucken Amen!

 

Shit everyone in my office is always coming and going to different job sites for weekly progress meetings, pre-bid meetings, golf outings, etc. But that's just kinda how it is in the construction world.

*Edit: most of the time when people go to said meetings they go do other non-work related things before or after

 

Spent the day yesterday pressure washing about an acre of West Virginia red clay mud out from under my truck. Today, I swapped my winter wheels and tires for summer ones, since I have no plans for serious off road adventures. Then I used 8 rattle cans of flat black Rustoleum to provide a clean look, and protect everything underneath. Lastly, a quick oil and filter change, plus air filter and cleaned MAF.

 

Summer hours are coming...

 

summer hours?

 

More sun less moon

 

oh, thought he meant work hours

 

Idk what he meant lol i was just guessing

 

Anyone have experience with replacing the cab mounts?

 

So kinda Best Gen related but not really (you can see the truck in the background). Built some headlight valence fillers for my Sherpa tonight to pass the time till I get a new flasher relay in the mail. I put a different front fender and headlight valence on it before I wrapped it in vinyl and ever since I’ve kind of hated the gap between the shocks and light. All fixed now with some 1/8” kydex I had laying around for making holsters out of.


And a picture from last weeks ride cause it’s America and I can

 

All this talk about work and offices........I work 4 tens, M-Thurs, outside everyday, hourly pay, and I'm a federal employee, and I love my job. Did the salaried, office gig, and it wasnt for me.

 

What type of work? I’m going on 2 years in a office. Outside sounds much better. My degree is in engineering tho

 

and he saideth unto his Tacoma...

Let there be moderately powerful yet suspiciously affordable LED light...



...and there was light.

 

Just go sell your self on the corner, get to be out side, make your own hours and charger hourly lol

 

Ebay cree lights? lol

 

Is it that obvious from the pic? Haha

 

Have the same ones, surprisingly wel built lol, had mine on for 2 years with many hours on them and they haven’t failed yet. Bolts haven’t even backed out the plastic end caps everything is still solid.

 

Good to know, I totally overlooked that they didn't come with a wiring harness though. Ordered one but then realized I still had my Hella harness installed so I just hooked them into that, works great. I got some Cree amber pods as well that I'll use the new harness for

 

I have my pods and bar wited together, because i went with a straight bar I didn’t really get any flood so i got pods amd angled them out more to provide more flood
