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

For those of you who have a Satoshi grille, how do you operate the hood latch???

 

Reach between the top of grill and hood. Isn't exactly easy, but doable.

 

I have an extension on mine that ends up right at the gap.

 

I tried that but i couldn't get my hand in there. lol

Lucky! I've been considering drilling a hole on the lever and attaching a rope to it.

 

Mine came with the billet grill I bought back in the day but it’s something easily made with some 1/8” flat bar and a bench vise.

I can take a picture of it tomorrow.

 

i am picturing my truck and saying this ... that would be one dirty old taco i have caked dirt in the edges of my engine compartment rails (snug noise/weatherstrips disappeared mysteriously) that would show how much dirt settles and compacts in 2+ decades, a spray and scrub/wipe is not even removing it

 

Truck hit 200,000 not long ago.

 

Received a set of Bilstein 5100s with OME 2880s for the front. I want to fix the front before making a decision about the rear springs. I'm lower in the front right now and would like to level it out. The front end on this Prerunner is light compared to a 4x4, so it won't take much for a lift.

Also ordered the driver side "Taco Tilt" 1/4 inch spacer.

 

What spacer did you get? I’ve noticed the lean on mine now that it’s lifted.

 

@BeLance89 here you go:

 

Fantasy island?

 

Are those husky led lights? Happy with them??

 

trying to get my taco some custom plates
1st choice was denied

 

That's them.. The 7,000 lumens from Home Depot. I love them. I had the yellow halogen work light set that would get too hot. These lights are cool in comparison.

The stand is much better with this Husky set than the yellow set.

Also, they don't draw nearly the same current, so I can hook other electrical tools/fans to the outlet without overloading the circuit and blowing a fuse.

 

Thanks I have the husky single portable led and its awesome, I was looking at those but the LEDs looked different so I wasn't sure how well they worked.

 

Well, I finally did it! I spray on bedlined my entire truck using LinerExtreeme.

Why not use a couple of washers to space it way from the frame and springs?

 

Took a drive up to 14,000 feet today to see some snow and check out the situation for the yearly pikes peak hill climb race in a few weeks
