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

ouch, how's your frame? I hear people say that the tow hitch can make the impact on the frame worse (dunno if it's true or not). Hopefully there's no damage to it

 

I was concerned about that too. It’s good, was hit at a 4way, she’s was going less than 5mph. Just hit the hitch directly. Tore up the nose of an Altima tho

 

That's good to hear! Not for the Altima though. One of the benefits of driving a truck.

Reminds me of an incident I had. Came out of the store, got in my truck, lady knocked on my window, "I'm so very sorry but I hit your truck while parking". My heart sank, I got out & asked her "where? I don't see any damage". She said "I think I hit your tire". Oh ok, I looked at her car that was white, had black scuff marks all over her bumper. Told her not to worry, should all buff out but it looked bad. Lol

 

@BartMaster1234 and @Fernando
Video is filmed, just gotta do some editing. Will upload tonight.

 

I know what I'm going to do to my Tacoma today

Actually probably not...going to watch some install videos and do some research on it so I don't fuck it up, but should be installed by this weekend

 

I hope you got the person's insurance

Did the bolts snap that go up into the bumper or were they never attached

 

No bolts snapped.

 

I'd be looking really close at those frame rails

 

Please share any links you find in the snorkel thread. Mine came but I won't see it for another week.

 

@m3bassman installed his awhile back and said it was pretty straightforward, he posted some pics in that thread too that I'll reference. I think he or someone else mentioned that the Safari instructions online work for this, too? I'll have to dig through the thread again and confirm. I'll post up in that thread how it goes

 

I think he may have used a black and white filter on the picture. Cause the sticker is black and white also and not colored like yours.

 

I made the photo black and white, they're bronze in real life lol

thanks for the step by step guide, that will help a ton!

 

Oh well, I ordered them up, front and rear! how long did yours take?

 

The fronts shipped like in a couple of days. The rears took like a month or so to ship but that was a preorder before they were in stock. However both of my orders were stuck in limbo status for a while, didn't actually ship for a while after I got the tracking numbers.

 

...and check to make sure the breather isn’t clogged. It’s a cheap part that can cause a bunch of issues.

 

I remember that day. woke up with a nasty ass hange over. said fuck it and drilled into that because I really wanted to go back inside...lol...came out great

 

I want one, but I'm sure how I feel about drilling holes in my truck

 

You better be damn sure you want it before you install it lol.. I’m on the fence about getting one..

 

I dont like the look...but it sire is functional

 

I wonder about the wind noise. I have to drive on the freeway to get to the mall.
