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

What do you mean? You cant see the pic?

 

looks like a single swang out...

 

Nice

 

Yup. Went single. Im not expo material

 

More better pictures please!

 

That would be my guess since it's coming from the driver side. You ever done one? Haven't looked into it

 

I finally popped out the loud ass torsional clutch return spring and replaced with a linear one. Took all of 5 minutes. WHY DIDN'T I DO THAT YEARS AGO?!

 

There is no technical problem and the photo is embedded in the post. The quality of the photo, however, leaves a lot to be desired. The contrast is severely lacking and can barely see what is going on.

 

Eventful day, had my drivers side marker light commit Suicide via semi tire on the freeway right before my eyes, so I got home and ordered a new set.

Then I changed the oil and put what’s left of the skid plate back on, win some lose more. Then I put the dog box back in for winter activities.
Fullsized spare problems.#overlandasf

 

Yeah done them, not bad at all. Drivers side is easier.

Yeah I use a seal puller to get them out. Drivers side is easier cause there is actually a lip the seal sits on so you can’t over drive it. Passenger side it’s best to use the cv to seat it, literally just did it a couple weeks ago.

 

this tool above is close to useless junk trying to pull out fender liner clips/grommets
almost slipped into hypothermia outside trying to get them liners off to clean up before spraying weatherproofing gel

i had MUCH better success trying to bend up one side of plastic grommet with a pick end of a pain can opener and snipping inside with a crusty old side cutters like this
whomever told me that other tool was bees knees in doing this work i have no clue how they accomplished it



is this liner below damaged and warped and needs replacing




that FF stuff likes to bubble up it appears

 

hyper wot???
it was in the upper 30s trying to do this work with wet clothes, i am hardcore
but now its freezing out today and i cannot continue weatherproofing until the middle of next week

 

Over Thanksgiving, I upgraded my 1999 Tacoma with some 21st century electronics.

After:

Took the 5 lug out to get tires rotated n balanced. The employee who didn't know how to drive manual decided to drive it on the way out and hit a car of someone else's lmao. The tho they did a good job otherwise. Truck drives great again

 

Nice crotch shot.

 

the stuff we notice

 

@Speedytech7 is a horrible influence on my buying decisions.

 

It looks pretty decent tho

 

I should probably finish my truck first, eh.

 

One of most attractive things about those Zs is they weren't wildly popular to get all riced out.... Which means there are still quite a few in decent original shape... At least that is what it seems like I've noticed
And like Yota, there is a lot of quality and tech for the buck, that comes with em.
A lot went into the freaking R&D with Nissan on them so you get a lot of car for the money
