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

Got an appt to have my bed lined finally, been hard to get ahold of these places since they're not really staffed if they don't have a job right now.

 

Also, gaskets are in for the 4runner engine that’s going to be the test bed for some things

 

Nice, but this pic has my OCD screaming...

 

gave my sliders a test run with my hi-lift

looking at the picture now it doesn't look like the tires are actually off the ground... trust me, they are.

 

Hmmm...

 

First time out of the garage in 4ish months

 

SCS Ray 10 and new tires going on today

 

...Thirty minutes later, we approached the spot I'd marked to camp. On the satellite imagery, it'd looked like a finger of land that reached into the lava flow - my hope being that the lava had left a "room" in which we could camp, sheltered from the wind. In reality, there was a finger of land that rose up onto the lava flow - a fantastical camp site... for a calm night....

wow pictures ..
...badass trips.
..i would love that chance ...

 

I’ve looked into this kit before, but haven’t been able to pull the trigger. Curious as to how well it’ll work.

 

Tundra guys love it. I’m going to have to figure out the cable situation. But should be easy enough since I don’t have a body in the way


If I like how it all fits, the tundra will get it too

 

got the TRD beadlock wheels installed with 285/75/16 nitto ridge grapplers. didn't end up needing a spacer and did not need to trim as much as i thought. will probably adjust trimming and what not as i go, still rub a TINY bit on the frame at full lock reverse. JBA uca installed as well got me 4 degrees of caster which helped. the JBA is pretty low profile and can still fit a hand in between the space between tire and UCA. also changed lbj went with OEM.

 

Awesome I will get some of these!

 

looks great! digging the red bits too. adds a nice pop of color to the truck!

 

thanks! yeah the original plan was to sand and clean them up and spray them black, but i like the beat up orange/red for the contrast!

 

yeah, i'd just leave them the way they are. they give the truck a kind of trophy truck/baja 1000 vibe. like i said, looks good, almost makes me regret my wheel choice.

 

Polished up the O2 sensor shield and the transmission

 

none of my 02 sensors have had shields

 

Because most people just cut them off when it comes time to replace the sensor

 

They don't come with the Denso's I buy. Did Toyota put them on?
