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

The older I get the more speciality tools I just go buy and magically the projects go easier and with less drama.

 

my 19yr old nephew helped me to figure out how to finally get the wireless borescope to connect with the chuwi tablet so i can get2 some interior frame scoping conquered at last and find out where the heck these delaminated paint chips been coming from and wot i must do to protect the truck from winter monster

 

Have you seen his jack I wouldn't suggest that.

 

managed to get my old crippled arse under the taco today to squirm around for the first time since early december after a long, semi-cold winter with not much snow accumulation (2 or 3 inches if that) which is well below average with the 3rd driest February on record here, but its supposed to rain well tomorrow, first sig rain in over 3 months
checked on the CF 3K spray used on the rubber undercoating under the cab and rockers, looks real sweet & black still like a million bucks, near like-new under there!!

also was digging around with finger in frame and found some fresh taco chips

 

My Tacoma took me out hiking today. I see a lot of beautiful west coast scenery in this thread, thought I’d share some from the other side of this great country:

 

Likely safer than those cheap spring compressors you'd rent.

 

Oh man that sure is beautiful, looks like my memories of the Appalachias.
I'll bet there are some nice trout in that stream too

 

Got in the dirt today and this happened.


Anybody got a stock airbox for sale?

 

Ive got one in here.

Yessir, Foothills of the Appalachians, I spotted a couple on the hike up but I had no fishing gear....or a trout license for that matter. Would’ve made for a good post for the TW smoked meat thread.

 

Trout fishing in NC is such a pita unless you do it all the time. So many stupid rules and regulations.

 

You ain’t kidding. We think very highly of our mostly farm raised then released trout in NC.

 

And 9/10 times I just get pissed off and have my fly/lure stuck in a tree.

I was up in Roanoke today, they stocked the river that runs through the city last week, lots of guys out fishing today. And from what I understand it a lot less hassle to do it in VA.

 

Yeah I am aware of the stock prices lol...i was considering the plastic jb weld and epoxy lol

 

Check the molded markings on the box to see what plastic it is made of first. Low energy plastics like polypropylene and polyethylene don't bond worth a crap with most off the shelf expoxies and plastic bonding compounds. But polycarbonates, and polyacrylamide does bond well with most plastic adhesives. Just saying this to help you choose the right epoxy.

 

Will do. Looks like Im gonna pick up @Blue92 airbox, but I did screenshot this and will fix this one and use it as a backup. Good looking out man

 

Yeah halfway through the day my truck didnt wanna idle lol. I thought, well time to clean the maf and possibly the IAC, looks like I just cant stop and we laughed, then when i was airing up I saw it and said well looks like its not my maf or IAC but they may be a bit dirty now lol

 

Fender skirts count for a lot

I have a feeling that mine has been cracked for a while and finally broke completely. But who knows.

 

Good to know. I guess I'll let several thousand others be BETA testers and see what they come up with. There's also Deaver and those leafs with the number and letter name, something like J71 or whatever so...I have options
