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

Anyone find a way to mount fog lights

 

Installed a Scan Gauge E today - now I know the Eng. temp & voltage instead of the funky gauge & Idiot light-Much better!

 

Washed and waxed it today! I wish these tires didn’t throw so many rocks though

Also, anyone recommend any bed rail caps? I don’t have any and since I’m rocking nothing on the back indiffinitely I thought I’d get some

 

Probably off this topic by now, but I run 26 front and 24 rear, still wearing in the middle a bit. 275/70r18 stt pros

 

Bed rail caps? We...don't have any..

 

Got a tube of "Monte approval" lithium grease with moly-graph. I see why he likes the stuff it's pretty smooth from the Red N' Tacky I'm used to.

 

@Blackdawg Since you're forming a micro cult can I market products with your seal of approval, you know little gold star with a busted balljoint and you giving a corny thumbs up?

 

Long as I get a cut I'm down.

 

Let me know when you start selling RC models of Frankenstein lol I'll buy one then go bankrupt from broken parts

 

Do it. The cheap $100 plastic DeeZee trailer tongue toolbox is the best toolbox I've ever owned.



I had a metal Delta crossover box I painfully restored years ago, but there was just absolutely no space in that thing. The trailer tongue box I have fits all my tools and still has extra room.

 

Yea, I never liked the traditional truck boxes. But those trailer boxes look really handy for recovery gear and tools at least. I'll probably get a small one. cause of the camping gear and extra stuff I plan on carrying in the bed. How did you mount it? Drill a couple of wholes and used some grade 8 bolts? Lol

 

I didn’t want to drill into the bed so I bought some Simpson 90 Degree brackets and bolted it to the top of the plastic drop-in bed liner. Not the strongest or most secure option but it gets the job done.

 

I just meant something like this. Didn’t know if they’d be worth it. Mine look kind of gnarly and there’s protective finish that looks like it’s starting to peel

 

ah. I think that would just wear your paint down under neath them personally similar to how the OEM bed liner does.

 

Amazingly, 47 psi felt pretty good. Very driveable and I picked up some fuel mileage. The return tank was 17.8.

 

Holla, ANyone tried the rust Oleum Bedliner? did my bed and camper shell. Not mad about it

 

I've been pretty happy with my Bilstein 5165s.

 

I'm guessing 17.8MPH

 

I'm running SCS F5 3.5 BS and am going after some new tires currently run-in 265/75/16... could I bump it up to 285/75/16? Or will their be way too much rubbing

 

It's gonna rub because they're almost 33s but it's not a big deal, the 3.5 will keep it off the frame just gotta bash the pinch weld and cut the fender liner a wee bit. 15 min job and a non issue if you don't flex it out
