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

So I determined that a first gen Tacoma can use an AJT key fob case. My 04 came with two RS3200/
BAB237131-056 red light key fobs. One is absolutely trashed and another is still in plastic untouched.

I decided to buy a replacement aftermarket that was modeled after a first gen Tundra key fob. It’s gasket inside is black instead of red and the buttons are hard vs soft. But it syncs up to my Tacoma fine. Then I bought the AJT design Tundra case and put the fob internals in it. Not too interesting but my plan to do steering rack bushings was ruined by rain today.

 

Went for a ride in the Rhode Island woods.

 

Who's from Georgia. I'm seriously thinking about packing up my shit and moving out of California within the next year or so. Have a good friend that lives in kingsland and debating moving out there

 

Don't do it bro... California sucks! Move to Reno, to get close, but you don't want to live here.

 

Say good bye to any good offroading. I wouldn't move that far east

 

Huh?

He's talking moving FROM GA to > CA isn't he?

 

**Edit*** No I guess he's talking about moving to GA.

Ya, fuck that!

 

Was gonna say I didn't think I read that wrong..

 

He started it off by askin if we knew people in CA, so my brain must have latched on to the idea he's wanting to move here... Fuck this place... But fuck GA more... ewww

 

I wouldnt say that, but it would be hard to do any trips longer than a weekend. Lot of technical stuff out east if you can put up with hoards of jeeps, as unfortunetly its all really short trails crammed into offroad parks. Theres some longer trails in the North Georgia/NC mountains but they are more like fire roads.

 

Lot of good offroading in the south east

 

Good. Theres no vacancy in the southeast anyhow, at least for Cali transplants.

 

That's quite alright. Nothing over there I want or need.

 

Hmmm, I say the same exact thing about Cali...

 

LOL

I can keep going.

 

East coast vs west coast war annnndddd GOOOO!

 

I plan on pulling my leafs tomorrow if I dont act as lazy as I did today. The objective is to replace my squeaky 2" AAL with a 1.5" AAL from wheelers that has the squeak pads on it. My only concern is whether or not I should retain my 3 degree shims. I had some nasty vibes after installing the 2" spring that were remedied with the shims, but Im wondering if 3 degrees is too much for 1.5" of lift. Or am I just overthinking it? I planned on keeping them, but now Im second guessing myself.

Theres more I just cant think of the names

Were not without trails too, ya know? They are vastly different compared to the desert climate out west, but we definetly have our fare share of rock crawling.

 

He hasn't even gone through an entire state, don't forget every other western state. The east has too much private land to have any wheeling worth traveling there for... One of the reasons we never set up an easy coast trip. Too much pavement in between everything.

 

Just installed this cool light rack! got tired of the lame skinny light bar so i saw this online for $100 & had to do some modding to my brackets & the piece its self but i made it fit gave it a nice coat of black paint & now next is to wire it!
