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

That's more like.it....

 

Perfect fit. Exactly what I would have built...

 

Curious on how much you paid... I’ve got a set that’s just sitting around in my garage that I’m probably going to sell.

 

Looks like you got more space between your pinch weld and slider than I had.


I know the feeling of success! Then I see the other one still sitting there...

 

Put them up on here. People are always looking for them so theyll be gone quick. I got mine for $120 but they looked like sin.

 

I found a salvage yard that had a storage building chock full of sets of seats. I got BMW gray leather, 6 way power, lumbar, and heated for $240. Passenger seat had a couple of nicks in the leather surface, but not to hurt the leather. Wiring was a bitch, because the driver seat had memory functions. Avoid the memory sh** and the wiring is simple. I made my own mounting brackets that just bolted to the tracks. Biggest caution is that most all of other seats will sit higher than the Toyotas. Probably why they are uncomfortable to begin with. Also big high bolsters on the sides of the seats are like flossing your a$$ crack when you get in a pickup.

 

I got em for $210 w/ lug nuts as well. I think i got em super cheap because I couldn’t find any other sets for less than $300 and that wasn’t including lug nuts..

 

Almost ready, just need the paint to dry. License plate location was fun trying to mount.

 

Search on Youtube for South Main Auto's video on repairing blown out spark plug threads. Big tap coated in lots of red n' tacky to catch the chips.

 

They look kinda short. Won't you just slide into your fenders now?

 

Thats them on @burntkat 's truck lol.

 

I thought that too but it's kind of like how some companies offer sliders without a kickout feature...some people aren't going to be doing the Rubicon with them so they don't really need the whole shebang.

Mine are about an inch too long and nearly rub my tires when I turn, one of these days I need to figure out a way to cut them down a bit

 

Theyre homemade. And 6' sticks were a good round number lol so I rolled with it.

 

Yup, that is the small and short of it.

You can get the parts at oreilly . If you message me tomorrow I can chase down the part numbers for you.

I did #4 cylinder a few months ago, am going to do all the rest as PM

 

I am at a loss. What the hell am I looking at?

Ps- feel better! Claritin and Flonase Dave my ass.

 

Hehe... funny you should mention that..

 

You get the pass side on before dark?

At work we use this stuff called stick wax when tapping aluminum in the lathe. Its a bit stickier than grease. Can be had at fastenal.

 

I was going to mention the same thing but didn't want to go to the trouble of screenshotting it, but yeah...something looks amiss there, might just be the cell phone photo quality though

 

Potentially, and in a perfect world I was going to build them to cover pretty much wheel to wheel (as close as possible anyway) to assist entry to the cab, bed, and rack. I have plans....

But I got a great deal, could not pass it up.

 

They'll still do 90% of what a "complete" set of sliders are supposed to do, just don't go sliding down any boulders or squeezing through any tight rock canyons lol. But for dropping off a ledge and hitting a rock or bumping up against one on a tight turn they should do just fine.
