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

Ooof

 

Yea, my dad never touched the cruiser cause if something else broke it would be his fault he just paid someone to replace whatever broke

And maintnance was left to my mom

Original gear lube and the lash on the diffs shows

 

Red Fox?

 

Those things are crazy high priced

 

$94/each including tax but now the doors don't attack me out of the blue

 

Oh, and make sure to buy them online or ask the parts guy to give you the online price because they wanted like $143 when I walked in off the street

 

I hate having to hold them with one hand in parking spots to keep them from swinging open and hitting the car parked next to me. They door checks haven't worked since I got the truck at 24k miles.

 

I'll have to pass on that one

 

Now you're arguing that you're not arguing?

 

Truly a PITA and a scary proposition to try and load beer into the ARB fridge behind the passenger seat while using one foot to balance and the other to curl around the door so it doesn't smack the person parked next to me's car. Gettin' too old for that shit and so replaced them

 

Picked up a $40 backup camera off Amazon and wrapped up the install today. I haven't fully decided if this is where I want to keep it mounted however it does keep it pretty much out of sight unless you are looking for it.

 

Would help. I’m in aviation, we safety everything. Loc tite only last so long, while SS wire can last a LONG time. I’ve even thought about drilling out lug nuts and safety them.

 

If there is one thing I friggen hate about my truck, it's those stupid things. My driveway isn't "steep" but it's just steep enough to make my damn doors not stay open any time I'm trying to do something in the truck.

 

Who’s done the intake tube mod to get rid of the crap plastic one and all the unnecessary vacuum junk. Let’s see what you got

Edit: For clarification I’m looking to keep the factory air box.

 

Ugga duggas work fine

 

Me...
I used the stock intake tube and shoved 1.25 inch pipe caps in the holes left by the intake silencers

On my 4 runner with the huge plastic box i replaced it with a cut up stainless steel water bottle

 

pic?

 

The trucks gone... it looked fine i actually drilled one pipe cap to put a hose barb so i retained the breather for the ac idle up valve

 

is it wind doing that?

 

really?, how exactly do they do that?
