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

Interesting, I bought some 1/4" spacers awhile ago and when I went to install them I only got a few turns on my lug nuts, so I took them off...felt too sketchy. I have aftermarket lug nuts though so maybe I should try and find some stock ones.

 

It's pretty easy to install longer studs. Could be done in a hour.

 

I’ve never heard of Too as a name, that’s intriguing.

 

I spent $400.00 plus at CamelBack Toyota. Shout out to Amanda, great person to work with. My personal bank account is going to take a big hit this year in parts alone. After I replace the parts I just ordered, Brake Job is real soon, and sometime this summer OEM suspension upgrade I hope. Money, Money, Money,
Mooooonnnnneeeeeyyyyyy.

 

Amanda ... although my most recent order was shorted 22 bolts from what I thought I had ordered .... was not charged but got extra grommets not needed at current time

 

23.8 people in NE per sq mile but the inheritance/property taxes are wack ... and now they wanna tax the bottled water fckme

check it out though

NJ has 1210 people per square mile
...not sure how the tax is, probably not good

using my degree from google university for those #s

 

I couldn't live in an east coast major metropolitan area if you paid me to, the amount of people condensed into those areas is insane in some parts.

At least on the west coast you can escape the mayhem to the outdoors pretty easily an hour or so in any direction...well, north and east mostly.

 

i can escape here too an hour each way (and probably less than that), but its still all flat everywhere there are cornfields ... no escape !
lots of mud and humidity

 

Yeah that doesn't sound fun either lol. But still better than being locked inside of a concrete jungle.

Problem a lot of the New England area has is that much of the land outside of the city is private, not a lot of opportunity to explore off of paved roads.

 

NJ wont let you pump your own gas, so theres that.

 

remind me to fill up in PA before I drive across the tollway to NYC in the future down the road

 

Touché

 

C'mon now... you can still escape the mayhem and head south for an hour or two...

 

@GQ7227 , how in the world did you find a 97 Taco with that low of milage. Does that year still have the 22R bomb proof motor, not much power but you can't kill it.

 

Following the above posts, I've lived in Houston, Atalanta, New Orleans, and Denver. But none of those Compare with New York City combined with New Jersey. Not enough money to get me to live there. My youngest daughter claimed she was going to move there, and wanted to know if I'd come and visit her, My answer was Hell no, you can come home and visit me. Their Gun Laws are too Draconian for me. It would be like living in the worlds largest ant hill, with millions of people scurrying around. No thanks, I'll take small town U.S.A anytime.

 

i found it hiding in the shadows of dealer lot in May '97, I had to let the blue metallic single cab 4wd with 22R go needed xtracab space, A/C and cruise for the long out-of-town drives and the 'new' V6 with more torque and power than any comparable chevy or ford in its class
those dealers still want me to trade this in get me into a new tacoma

 

I finally grew tired of all that weight on the swingout...
Here’s the mock up.

 

Today I sold my Tacoma. I will miss it but I know @GuideWithVegvisir is going to great use out of it and that makes me happy

 

Just noticed your location, I went to South Kitsap High School, graduated in 96 and moved in 2000. Was an awesome beautiful place to grow up, that's for sure
