Rebuild/upgrade my 95 Taco

flaws lol

 

Haha I took that post as unfortunately we have those things

 

Is there any real benefit to using those hood protectors or bug shields? Other than bugs obviously

 

rock chips on the hood is the main thing imo, bug guts wash off, chipped paint rusts over time if not tended too in a timely manner
they do have permanent film to protect the paint if the plastic protector is not a good look

 

My hood has started a little bit of surface rust, not sure what to do about it though

 

my trucks been mostly an interstate highway truck and been behind a tractor trailer throwing sand,etc. up which is probably why my windshield had a million chips in it before i got it replaced but the hood and corners in great condition

some may not like these interiors, some may not like other interiors after redesign
some may consider the first 2.5 years as vintage, some may consider them archaic

have you ever driven a chevy s10 of the early '90s?
that is where my experience comes from comparing the Tacoma truck

 

I just checked my interior stash pile and unfortunately I don't have one of those either for ya. But nice build man, the screaming below 50° is your speedometer cable BTW

 

Thanks for checking! And thanks for the info, nobody has been able to give me an answer on that.

 

How do I fix this? I always thought it was kinda funny tbh

 

Sometime lubing the cable up will fix it, but if it's been doing it that long I bet it's eaten some of the lining away so I'd just get a new cable. They're pretty cheap anyway

 

Let's play guess what's in the box

And in this case boxes

 

Pick me! I know! lol I'm excited to see you get that on!

 

I have so much stuff just sitting in my garage now begging to be put on

 

what's your lower shield/skid on your gas tank look like?
I am going to get mine powdercoated, hopefully its not too weathered

 

Nice looking truck! That bumper sitting in the garage is going to make one mean front end, especially with those big tires! I want my truck to drive 350,000 miles, that's pretty awesome

 

I'll get a picture of it up after I get done working, I haven't touched it though so I'd imagine its a little rough

 

Thank you! Thats what I was thinking too
im curious to see how long the new tacos last compared to these old beasts.

 

i was just curious because you said you had it undercoated before you took it home

 

I didnt take a picture but to me it looks like it wasnt undercoated but everything else was

 

Explored some logging trails today. Ft. My seavilis cooler I bought on Amazon
