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

Damn.

 

Not sure what your saying here?

 

Eh my money and I don’t mind spending money on it because it’s what I enjoy. I enjoy the build and I enjoy the wheeling and considering this is just a toy. If it gets wrecked or I break something I just take the time to rebuild it.

But thanks for your concerns about my money situation

 

Despite what many on here believe, most of us won't have these exact trucks for the remainder of our lives due to one circumstance or another...I spend the time and money on my truck not only because of the truck but more for the enjoyment of it and the fact that what I learn and experience will carry over into the next thing.

It's just like any other hobby really...the money you spend isn't likely going to be an investment that brings in financial returns. You do it cause you enjoy it and because you can.

 

Lol, well said. A lot of people here love to "share" their unasked for opinion about people projects or plans, or question whether it's a 'good use of that someone's money' lol

 

I think you guys took dudes comment the wrong way. Lol. Anyways, nice rear! Truck is coming along nicely!

 

Well aware. I try to stay away from the pissing matches and the “gods” or “know it alls” on this forum. Normally stay away from this thread cause of that but wanted to post that ad and this adds a little excitement to everyone’s day haha.

I’m well aware the amount of money I’ve “dumped” into my truck. It’s a lot. But I don’t care. And I’ll probably build something else because there’s a lot of things i want to do different on my next one.

 

Why would anyone besides you even care how much you've sunk into it? That's what's funny. I know Frontier Man, he didn't mean squat by it.
There's the usuals that know best how everyone should spend their monies. Frontier Man isn't one of them, that kinda made me chuckle for that reason
You definitely have to keep us posted on that rear end though

 

I got your back dude

 

It’ll match the front

 

Statistically there is a very VERY slim chance this happens to him. Awfully kind of you to wish him good fortune on his driving, regardless.
Shit happens and it can happen to anyone. There are things we can do to minimize that risk but the risk will always be there if the truck is used

 

Got dam I'll shut up, my bad guys

 

Rebuild it with another shell and you won't have lost anything

 

Some shells come with frames. I just bought an eh, 1st gen and out my good drive train in it to make a great 1st gen

 

Anyone know if a ARB front bumper off a 1985-2007 land cruiser will fit a 1st gen?

 

Yeah that’s what I thought.

 

Mines not worth anything now haha. The way I see your picture is 3 link the front. Ls swap and tube out the front with a full cage haha. All perspective.

Or rob all the good stuff off it and build a buggy like I want.

 

That's the way to go! Especially since he has a new daily. Might as well have a kick-ass toy too

 

yep you can pull the whole engine snake out from the glove box and into the engine bay and pull the 5vz with all of its wiring still on it

 

how's the bezel in the white one? emmet needs one if you part it out
isn't TX right in the middle of the coasts?
