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

Nice work hombre. Nice to see some life interjected into these things

 

Agree, frame paint doesn't typically need to be UV stable. Frame wouldn't see much sun ever, if ever

 

Typical oil drain flange wouldn't fit, so I needed something different.

 

There's not going to be a perfect finish, some are going love that others don't. Example, I've had bad experiences with the ace stuff the guy says works the best. You're just going to have to read reviews and decipher which one you want.

 

damn dude.

 

Looks like a part stolen off of the Mars Rover. Nice work

 

Are those CARB approved? If you don't mind, where bought and how much$? Nice looking!

 

You’ll love em. By far best “performance” upgrade I did on my 01. Obviously not supercharger like performance. But you’ll notice a difference

 

only if you drive strictly at night
i am not versed in the relevant science but i am assuming the suns radiation reflects off of snow, i know that during one of my nasty eye episodes during the winter it hurt like holy fkn hell when i stepped outside with all of that snow glare which i suppose is UV radiation yada yada

the guy said the ace works the best because of COST or so i thought he said, but i definitely would never put that stuff on my truck
I'm just not sure why the POR-15 is the bees knees and all, if there were more pertinent relative data points available for its durability & longevity i would be all ears
the encapsulator stuff seems to go on thicker and most prep stuff is already built into the product, but I am still doing some DD on it and is taking a very long time

 

Checked and found out the holes were plugged from seeds and leaves on the tree I park below at home lmao. Glad to see they did not bed line over the holes. Also the company that did it for the PO was Inyati, no clue lol

 

There's a line around the bottom 1/4 of my bed from the water stain now I shit you not lmao. Had my own Jacuzzi in the bed for a min

 

Is it loud?

 

Note changed for sure. More noticeable noise because of the thin wall pipe. But it’s a good sound. No drone with my Magna and the headers with 2 Magna cats

 

Nice, glad it was just a clean out job then. The bedliner looks pretty decent, similar to LineX.

 

I’m trying for zero noise. Going from LT Duratracs to the GY adventure (found a good deal from 2020 take offs). Those are quiet. I just want to hear supercharger and engine. I’m studying the truck and what RPMs and what is what for now.

 

FS in Denver 245 75 16 LT Duratracs. Weigh 41 lbs because they are narrower.

 

It looks like you've lost track of what thread you're in again. Try the Colorado Trading Post. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/colorado-trading-post.148930/

 

Shit box got new tires/ newly finished old wheels

 

Looks good. A little jealous
