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

Driving it for more than 10 minutes in about a month, not as fun as the car but still nice to drive. Where does everybody get their OEM steering rack again? Thinking about ordering it here soon so I can replace that before wheeling season starts

 

Got mine from camelback

 

That's what I was thinking as well

 

And it gets serious when you get better tires and rock sliders

 

I just did mine weekend before last. You’ll be stoked when it’s done. It’s much better

 

Meh rather not deal with 90-95* temps with super high humidity. Around end of August, beginning of September is when it starts down here. Too damn hot unless you camp by a lake/river

 

That's the silicone option for the inner boot. The black is OEM as CVJ says they're the best

 

Yes, their website is relatively useless...no ecommerce options. You have to call or email them but that was pretty painless.

 

Changed from the Yakima bungie cord netting to this WAY more stout Raingler net. Went with the 1" instead of the 2" as it is far stronger than the bungie strap thing and got same color stitching so that saved me about $150. Only issue I see so far is excess strap management. Still haven't decided exactly what I am going to load up on the rack so don't want to shorten the straps yet. Might take it down to my local sewing/alterations guy and have him add the little double pieces of velcro to the ends of the straps like they did on my Eberlestock pack.

 

Yeah, I really didn't want to hack into the lights but I bought a cheap set off ebay so I could care less if I goof them up. Going to try to make it as OEM looking as I can but with my luck it won't happen like that.

 

You’ll be alright. Just take it slow and make sure to seal it good and give it 24hrs to set.

 

I could care less if water gets in there really, I'll seal it but the lights I bought don't look well sealed to start with lol.


Order has been placed for the skid plates

 

Do you have a all pro apex bumper?

 

It works for the baja bumper too which he has

 

Got it, just seen his profile pic and it didn’t have a bumper.

 

Yup the Baja, profile pic is like a day after I purchased the truck.

 

Lookin good.

 

Just did a 180 on an on ramp. Major puckering. This truck doesn’t like wet pavement

 

Man I remember when I hydro planed in my truck. Probably the scariest feeling ever

 

Me this winter
