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

Brake light bulb blew so replaced with led 1157. 2x’s brighter

 

- and the main selling point of LEDs in braking application- they give the people following you a half second more warning, as they don't have to "ramp up" to operating voltage like incandescents do.

Doesn't sound like much till you think about moving at 60mph, you're talking about 50 feet or so.

 

They are the same as long as you don't get liners for a 5 lug.

A Prerunner is exactly the same a 4 x 4 minus the diff and axles.

 

Yup, I air down to 10psi with K02s it floats over the sand. I need to avoid any bowls cause only 2wd. Made it all the way to the back with my buddy driving. Never thought my truck could make it to the back but he proved me wrong. We always ride the sand rail & quads out here.

Buddy's son mediatating. Lol

 

Where is this at?

 

Pismo

 

Ahh nice. I need to go there soon

 

we have a place out here with super super soft sand like that. I went out with a broken front diff (so only 2wd) and if I lost any momentum it was painfully slow to try to get going again. My buddy's with 4wd would do a donut around me while I had momentum and trap me/kill my momentum

 

"buddy"

 

Nice, looks great up there...how's the crowds?

 

Anyone done just front pads lately? What brand did you go with?
I've always gone oem, but decided to not $80 at my local stealership. I'm going to try dura last max, they come with new shims, new retainer spring, rubber coating for no squeak, and even what seems like anti seize. New hardware is nice not even Toyota gives you that.

Anyone have experience with the duralast max?

 

Welp, I made it about 3 days before getting too bored and going to find dirt in the new place.



My headlights seem to always be on, is this normal? Can I make them not be?

 

Put a new lower filler in after I lost it on a trail....either hit a washout too hard or the trail God's demanded a sacrifice. Not bad for about $12 for part and paint.

Some before ....

And after...

 

This is too good to not share on here.

 

jesus christ, kill it with fire

 

I think someone messed with your license plates

 

Corn in san francisco? I thought I saw that pic on the interwebz...

 

It's nice. Usually no crowds on weekdays. They should be rolling in starting Wed-Thur for labor fay weekend.

 

oh yeah totally, Labor Day weekend is going to be insane out there

 

I ended up cutting a wire. I dont remember which one exactley
