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

There is a dude in Tahoe who is parting out trucks on here. He said he was gonna get another one. I picked up two oem cvs off him for $100

 

Took the truck out last night with some friends for a night run.
Made a trip report if you wanna see more pics.

Too bad they shut down the high clearance section of trails out there. Fun to play on the helo pad though

 

I’ve never gone passed the helipad. How are does it go? I heard you hit a gate at some point.

 

when it rains it pours i guess, not only am i working on my ignition switch but also go a P0301 yesterday!, im checking the plugs and coil packs on my 2.4 and im kinda worried about the condition of my plugs , i took off the plugs from cylinder 1 and cylinder 4 to compare, plugs are about 1 and a half years old (

$3 denso k16r-u11 denso 3120 spark plug

denso k16r-u11) with about 9k miles on them, tacoma only has 170k on her
first pic of cylinder one plug which came out with little moisture
second pic is cylinder 4

 

Its a loop trail, or head down to the gate. You used to be able to exit down there and the loop used to have a series of connecting trails that would eventually link to corral canyon. Plus there was a high clearance rock crawling trail. Too many people abused the trails and they shut them down

 

Damn. That’s too bad. One of these days I’ll have to venture down past the pad and see where the trail take me

 

It's an easy loop. If you ever wanna hit up other trails I'm always game.

 

Awesome man. You in east county area or you farther down towards the water

 

by the beach, but I drive east to wheel lol

 

My recent trip in the Sierras came to an end in what can only be referred to as an "incident." Still, was a great trip and didn't end for another couple days until we finally made it home, an epic camp spot along the way.

I’ll be dropping the truck off tomorrow to get the 4x sliders welded onto the truck.

 

Thanks! Hadn't had the Goodridge brand pop up in a search.

 

My threads were good. Just needed to get the rest of the bolts out. Pretty sure the shop welded a nut to it.

 

All Pro Expos installed...drove around on them for several miles and so far am extremely happy with them over the Dakars.

They don't feel any stiffer to me than my Dakars + AAL did, they give me a nice 1" rake in the back (which I like), and best of all....NO MORE NOISY LEAF SPRINGS!

 

Super clean. Any pics of how your built it off the receiver aka how you got the receiver so high and tight to the tailgate?

 

cool picture..

 

I cut it through





Also here’s the front bumper so far

 

You planning on modifying the stock bumper to work with that winch

 

Dropped the truck off to a local fab guy. He had a badass Comanche he built. Might pick his brain about getting a rear bumper built for truck as well.
