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

Mud flaps were losing their lustre. Freshened them up

 

Why is it, that as soon as you think you reach a good spot with your truck, you decide you want to change everything you just did?

I’ve damn near rebuilt the entire truck this summer and I’m already looking to redo the suspension.

 

what did you use to clean them up?

 

I see why a lot of those O2 sensor shields get removed. Not a lot of room to work with it still attached.

 

It's not the destination, it's the journey bro.

But in a serious not, for me I like working on the truck so I always find a new project for it. Sometimes I thinki like working on it more than driving it.

 

Same. Clear winner for me is working on it.

 

What do I paint my spindles, CVS control arms and such in to prevent rust, I go to the beach often so I worry about that

I would prefer it to be from a can

 

Went to Michaels and picked up a White Sharpie Paint Marker. Cleaned with Simple Green, Alcohol Wipe, dried and then painted letter with a sharpie.

 

I would use CRC Marine Corrosion Inhibitor. I pick it up for $8/can at my Autozone. It’s cosmoline in a can. Cover the rubber and spray liberally. Let it dry for 24 hours and it will leave a waxy coating that will stay water proof for up to 3 years

 

Anyone know what making my left side sag

 

Subbed for answer. Mine does the same. I don’t think it’s just the “taco lean” though. Since the front doesn’t lean the same.
I have brand new J59’s and the rear of my truck hasn’t changed other than the height. But still leans the same way

 

Anyone ever AAL to J59s?

 

some cheap low/ high fog lights and gathering parts

 

Who the fuck needs those. Right @betterbuckleup


I lost mine on the same trail bro

 

Anybody seen this?

thats taco lean.

Gas tank is on that side. You have a full tank?

Everything is on the driver side.

 

yep. Pretty sweet setup. Wonder what the cost is.

 

Right arm, left leg, both kids and the neighbors dog.

 

Im interested. I suppose you could avoid taking the bed off? Only drawback is the possibility that drilling holes in the C frame could cause a weak spot. That and what it might cost.

 

Steel it is what I use. Holds up greAt in the rust belt
