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

I joined the tall and skinny club. 255/85R16 Cooper discoverer s/t maxx. They fit great with no rubbing even at full lock. I know I need to redo my grill. Good thing you can’t see the paint on the hood.

I picked up one of these a couple of years ago. Very nice piece.

Motovecor Grease Gun 6000 PSI Heavy Duty Professional Pistol Grip 14 Oz 400cc - 18" Flex Hose … (Red)

Put the filler neck on... seems like it’s off... but I have 0 reference with the bed off. Frame harness came in too. Along with everything but the fuel cut valve. Also still need to locate a 2001 sending unit. That piece is discontinued

 

see thats what i thought. but the hoses say otherwise. unless my parts department ordered the wrong ones... again.

 

ill mess with it tomorrow. gotta go bitch them out about the fuel cut valve. lol its on my order. i was charged for it... its not there.


debating bringing the truck home soon and setting the bed on the frame just to make sure all is good back there. maybe even give it to the bodyshop to do the rust repairs on the bed

 

actually looking closer. it seems like its in the right area... i just dont remember the angle of the dangle these things are at on the bed

 

just needs rotated a tiny bit. It's pretty close

 

Yea I think I’ll just get the hoses attached and leave the bolt lose. Seems the hose being new is a bit stiff causing most of my fitment issues

 

These quick connect couplers are nice. I got one for Christmas. I can see there will be some areas it may not fit, but I needed it for tractor greasing. There are fittings down in the front arms on the loader where it's almost impossible to get a regular coupler to attached.

They have them at Rural King for $29 if you like off the shelf better. That's where mine was purchased, but I couldn't find it on their website.

The swivel ones come in handy too. My dad has one on his grease gun.

That looks correct to me,mine comes up between that bed mount and the frame.

 

Remember to change those lower ball joints!

 

Milwaukee, way over kill for truck use but it sure is nice just pulling a trigger.

 

I saw this a week after I learned about this problem. I was paranoid for days until I replaced them.

 

Nice work man!

Looks like it could use a few minor tweaks but damn good fit for the first go!

 

Built a removable platform for when my dog rides with.

 

Replaced my crappy suction cup phone holder with RAM mounts.
