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

The guy who quoted me $200, I told him I’d take all the windows out. I need to reseal them anyway.

 

I like this setup a lot. Might copy it. Could you retain the tailgate now that it's moved back?

Loving your progress dude. Waiting for work to get slow so I can read back on your thread.

Kinda my same mentality.

Did some wheeling/camping last weekend.









Destroyed my valve stem and tested my Colby valve for the for the first time, was a fan of how well it worked and how easy it was to install.

 

NIce pictures , nice adventure, sometimes I think about having a second set of wheels and tires just to off road and a set for Mall regular life.... but then I remember.... what I'm talking about!!!! I have never been off road .... so the thought dissapear....

 

The way I have it, the posts are in the way. With the swing out moved back, the tailgate could theoretically be put back in (If I deleted the tabs that are on the posts that bolt to the tailgate latch strike location) But the posts would be in the way not allowing the tailgate to open.

I'm happy the tailgate is gone. And once I get the rest of the swing out done that may make more sense.

 

Ah I see what you mean now. Thanks man.

 

No problem. If you want to copy it, and have any questions, just hit me up. If it isn't in my build thread, I can shoot you a picture and try to explain what I did... lol

 

Whats on the front of that bumper? Fishing rod holders?

Colby valve?

 

Which Colby stem is that? The XL replacement? I’ve wanted to buy some just not sure which to get

 

SOS rear disc conversion came in today. Looks like I’ll be getting the axle seals and what not done on the 02 soon to swap my clean axles with good backing plates for it’s with rotted backing plates since I have to cut em off

 

got a photo or ten of the process so others can drool and plan out this mod?

 

I want to see how the rear brake conversion goes for you.

 

Do you know if these wheels will fit with the tundra brakes?

Will do when I actually install. If I get time maybe next week

 

Yeah it's his rod holders, he does a bunch of beach fishing. And yeah it's a Colby valve.

I have the "permanent" valves.

The XL's have bigger diameters for like tractor tires and commercial trucks.

I got this for when I went out to Moab as a just in case/get back to civilization till I can replace the valve at a shop but I also plan on starting on carrying standard valves too. I already had two versions of valve removal/replacement tools. I have to say the convenience of the Colby was awesome. The longest part was yanking the old one out because I couldn't thread a removal tool on it because I crushed the old one. Funny part is it was fine the whole trip and didn't realize it was fucked till I tried to air up.

 

i just got these wheels too and had the same question. they'll fit the tundra brake, you can type in 1st gen tundra trd beadlock wheels and some people have run them so i think its safe.

 

Yeah, it's fiberglass.

 

Yea they said fiberglass takes no time to get preped. Granted this cap was original paint

 

Finally got my elocker axle swapped and wired. Switched to 4:56s and placed an order for 4xinnovations skids

 

Disc brake kit, I’m sourcing calipers pads and rotors. As well as the parking brake shoes. Looks nice and good. It’s for 00-06 tundras so the cables will need to be modified length wise. But everything else will bolt up fine
