What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Some good tips most of us learn the hard way. As to the rivets being a PITA, a good tool helps a lot. I spend a little extra for this tool, and it made the riveting pretty easy and it captures the rivet end so it doesn't fly in your eye.

Also I tried painting the holes after drilling to avoid future rust, but I'm pretty sure that paint gets scrapped off by the extreme force of the rivet being seated. I went to putting a generous amount of gun grease in and around the hole and I hope that does the job. I guess I'll see in 4-5 years.

 

I would have to disagree. To each his own.

 

I don't see where having an opinion on a particular state is included in paragraph 1, but whatever.

 

And there are many threads here that are completely unhinged with no banning, relax, he wasn't pissing on anyone, quit trying to be, well, Captain America.

 

The state i'm in has been very good to me financially, but 5-6 months of garbage weather is a huge nope.

 

Exactly, to each his own. I was born there, I have family there, but I have my reasons for never wanting to be there.

 

I did nothing to the Tacoma today i'm now at 1390 miles. Someone will get a super low mile example if I ever punt it

 

But, this configuration keeps tailgaters from tailgating on their way to a tailgate......

 

Stared at my paint Protection Film bubbles. I like trying to stare them down into submission.

 

Same, sloppy AF, but got it done......

 

My contribution for today. Not original but sorta, a little rare on here...Hurst/Core short shifter kit.
I love it but the installation was not fun. I think I'll be enjoying this for many years. (Ignore the bug, he's a mascot) .

 

Very nice and congratulations. Great looking place to retire. Have skied at 3 different resorts in that state and even though they are small it was a beautiful area. Enjoy

 

1in spacers and 1in rear blocks.

 

@rrentrop aka tvd decals makes vinyl decals that cover that and he's a member of TW. I didn't see them on his site, so maybe pm him?

 

What have I done to my Taco....put it up for sale ; (

Why aren’t I surprised that you don’t get it.

 

Knocked out the pinch weld mod today. Easy peasy.


Instead of cutting the liner to pieces, I just clipped it all back into place, applied heat, and pushed it all back tight against the body. It's a cleaner look, and way more functional. My '96 has no liners and I get crap all over the place because of it.





Side note, I'll have a full set of mud flaps for sale soon as well as a set of OR wheels and factory tires with about 150 miles on them. DM if interested, or wait till I get off my ass again and post them up.







Edit: it only took me 6 years to get to 300 posts! Whoohoo!

 

That's a beauty look'n set up!!

 

Wash and Quick wax earlier and a drive on the stony road in the park to lub the 4WD. Looked so purdy, I had to snap a pic.
