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

I saw somewhere on here someone had a Custom Equipment rack in the backseat area of a double cab. Can't seem to find it. Any Help

 

Mine are covered in rust and the screw heads too, but I'm okay with it. They hold hooks for ratchet straps fine and I don't care what they look like, personally.

 

Someone built sweet storage back there I think I've seen too.

 

i don't have flares but am going to go check some out, not sure about it, just curious for now...

 

How is the lspv run on a non abs truck? I'm trying to delete my ABS but maintain LSPV. At the T, under the master cylinder, I have 1 line going to ABS module, 1 coming from the master and the other headed back to the LSPV. In order to split the left and right caliper I'd have to remove the line going to the LSPV. What happens to that line? Looks like I need another T for the caliper lines.

 

I don't think your earlier model trucks have the holes in the fenders for the flares to snap into, you'd have to get the right fenders first. That is if you're looking at 01 - 04 flares.

 

You need to get the junction fitting at the frame for a Non ABS truck. I got one from toyota. Probably cheeper at a pick and pull. I'll try to get a photo of the connections.

 

Thanks! Sounds like I'll need the LSPV line too then. Unless I can finalge the current line down to the frame.

 

I did some of this....

But also some of this... F'd it up... That's what I did!...

 

They aren't perfect, but like I said before, it's a truck and I use it for truck things. A little rust/corrosion doesn't bother me at all.

 

those are not bad for their age!
my truck things consist of lawnmower, portable toolbox, duffel bags of clothes, tires, recyclables and sometimes hitchhikers and their dog lol
and furniture when a relative is moving

 

I dream of the day that this thread turns back into What have you done to your tacoma today - 1st gen edition and not All About My Tie-down hooks.

 

Here are some photos of mine. ABS Sucks in the dirt.

 

I need the space for an intercooler. It hasn't worked in years but from what I remember it was way to sensitive.

I'm not seeing anything different. Does the middle of the T, below the master, lead to the LSPV? And the passenger part of the T to the passenger caliper?

 

I tried that stuff out and after 3 attempts it still just came right off. Thinking about trying it again on my fathers truck... I finally just said fuck it and bedlined mine

 

Has anyone painted interior pieces? I picked up an 01-04 center console and it is a little scuffed etc and as most know, the color doesn't quite match the rest of the 98-00 interior. I would like to paint the console to cover the blemishes and match the rest of the interior. Just curious if anyone has any experience, where to get matched paint etc. Any assistance appreciated.

 

Scrub it real good with this stuff. It brought my faded console right back.

 

I was going to give that a shot, but there are definitely blemishes/scratches that aren't going to clean up.

 

My experiences with painting plastic have never been good so I cant offer much advise there. Good luck!

 

Yeah, I have a feeling that it will rub off in heavy wear areas etc, but figured that it's worth the experiment. Worst case scenario, I'll sell it and buy a brand new console and shifter trim.
