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

Pretty sure that would ruin the bed liner if not catch the hole thing on fire. If the bed liner wasn't there I'd definitely weld.

 

Finally finished fabricating and installing my transmission cooler

 

The pivot for my Jerry can carrier.

I suck a welding upside down haha. Its good enough for its purpose. The tire carrier winch hold all the weight.

 

Ah didn't realize you had bed liner in there

 

Lol so you never plan on going 35s then. Cool

 

Well there will never be a 2.5 kit. Unless you custom make one and CV axles to go with it.

And the likely hood of Marlin ever actually selling the RCLT kit is so damn low anyways much less developing one for our gen it's not worth waiting around for.

 

Added extra indicator lights into the cluster. So I don't accidentally roll around with the front off road lights and aux. backup light on unintentionally.

 

Cool. I was wondering if this could be done.

 

Is that a little penis?

 

Don't want to respark the bed tiedown debate but what's everyone's thoughts on picking the bed up by them? Think they can handle the weight?

 

Sure can! Looks something like this once you get the cluster and the cover seperated. The wiring is easy enough, just wire to the switched side of your circuit.

HAHAHA! Didn't even realize that, I guess that's one thing the internet is really good at. Now I can't unsee it... def not changing it

 

The bottom one looks like a dick.

*EDIT* Did not see the most recent posts..

 

Try them at about 26 to 28 psi on the street. I run 26 with my Toyo Open Countrys E rated and they ride and wear the best at 26 for me. Offroad I'll air down to 11 to 15 psi.

 

Welded in the trailgear frame box plates, and the reinforcement plates on the outside of the frame. I cut the gas tank cross member out, cleaned it up, cut plate to fit that location, and welded it back in. Added the two crossmember tubes from trailgear, but left my shocks in the stock location. Burned 14lbs of 0.035 hardwire and a full 110ft3 bottle of C25. Also welded the body mounts in the proper location for the double cab. Should be able to pull the cab from the rotten frame and place it on the good one by next weekend. And now I wait on parts!!

 

Beds are remarkably light weight. They should work with no trouble.

 

No problem. Just did it.

 

I used a crane hoist to carry a bed at Pick-n-Pull with only 2 bed tiedowns and my tools sitting inside.

 

I must have missed this debate, was it that guy from California that knows everything saying they wouldn't support the weight of the bed?

 

It's another member that is absolutely obsessed with talking about the subject of rust and our Tacoma's.

He had a hell of a time replacing his tie downs and even asked about getting them anodized, powder coated, etc.

Definitely not from CA
