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

Oh yeah, the truest scent of the most manliest men

 

How do I get the little plate out?

 

There's a flange on one side, just either tap it out with a screwdriver or pull it with right angle pliers.

 

This driver side one is a bitch to get to

 

Yeah they are, I use a long ass screwdriver to tap it from the engine bay with a hammer

 

Finally installed my Camburg LT kit and 231mm Tundra brake calipers!

PS dont mind the ugly and disassembled front end, its not done yet lol I just am excited and wanted to share

 

In what order?

 

Dang multitasking! I was eating lunch and typing at the same time. My fat fingers love to make typos on phone keyboards.

 

I'll give you $20.00 for it!!

 

Move the decimal one place to the right, then Ill even include shipping lol.

 

I like that mod, maybe someday. Next mod for me is making some bastard leaf springs. Mine are flat.

 

I have invested
$18 for wheel and cruise control
$20 for Airbag
$27 for leather re dye
$8 in supplies for hiding the shifter buttons

Not bad for $73 bucks.

 

Post some pics after installation

 

Will do! Got a harbor freight puller ready to roll. Might do it tomorrow if it stops stinking. Sitting in a shoe shop for a week didnt help with the odor lol.

 

How much do yours weigh with the tires?

 

Huh I looked it up and I guess I got it backward last time I checked, the 255s are a little heavier, disregard my last post

The stmaxx are 59lbs per tire, heavy sons of bitches

 

My dicks were 49#, but the Steelies are heavy asf

 

After picking up my tent rack from BAMF in Benicia a few days ago, I went to Tepui’s HQ in Soquel, CA for their huge overstock sale.





I ended up buying a Tepui Explorer Autana 4 with Annex for a steal. Sleeps 4 comfortably. It was a brand new never opened tent with minor shipping damage (dings and scratches, slight tear in skirt).

I’ve yet to post pictures of the thing opened because I can get the damn thing off my truck by myself.

And the Dumbass of the Year Award goes to...



The entire Model X roof is a single piece of glass.

 

It looks a little loose, kind of like the brake line fitting isn't flush against the crush washer but maybe it's just the pic.

Here's mine

 

How much does that tent weigh? I barely got mine installed on my rack by myself, but it's the smaller 3 person tent. Think it weighs around 125lbs so yours is what, 180 or something.

Aside from the weight the hardest part is just trying to grab onto the damn thing to get it situated because it's so big and awkward
