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

FIFY

 

We have the same name broski

 

Disassembling/raising coilovers and cutting/trimming for 33s in the single digit temps

 

Finished reinstall. It’s freaking COLD out there. And I’ve got Covid. This took all my energy today.

 

got out and did some snow wheeling/ camping on Friday, always a good time. Each time i go out it reminds me that I should do it more often.

 

Finished the android radio put in a 4 runner mirror with all led bulbs finished seatbelts and center console

 

Finally made some brackets for the Hi-lift and welded them to the rack

 

Finally got around to installing the free Panasonic headunit that a coworker gave me last year.

Now I need a day with decent weather so my friend can help me re-wire all of the speakers. The previous owner’s wiring job was not the best.

 

Installed my new headlights. These are the Morimoto Sealed6 headlights that they sell on TheRetrofitSource. I was looking at doing a projector retrofit into the sealed beam housings and then came across these. They don’t look as simple as retrofits, but for the price it was hard to pass up.

Edit: to add better photos that I took today

 

Finally took my Shittybilt roof rack off today, rarely use it much and the wind noise/rattling has bothered me almost since day 1. And it's high profile made the wind resistance on the highway pretty bad.

Looks much cleaner without it, had to leave the mounts on for now because I'll need to patch the holes when they come off. Which will be the real fun part.

Rack



No rack



The lights I had mounted to it were junk too, happy to finally get rid of those.

 

Got some trim restore and went over all the plastics on the truck. Problem is now I see all the little difference in texture on the plastic. Anyone know if you can buff it out so the whole part looks the same?

 

i use a heat gun to heat plastic trim back to color,,,, if you try it, just watch the plastic and move with the color change.

 

M6 I believe 1.00 pitch.

 

Got rid of some tire gap.

 

Do they have a website? I don't have bookface.

 

It’s NKObuilt, but they haven’t put up 1st gen stuff yet

 

Replaced a shockmount. First time welding in about 15 years, but it’s coming back.

 

I'd say keep going. I don't think you've got enough product soaked in yet.
after & before on my Tundra's rear bumper. But only a couple coats.


Here is a mudflap before & after many coats. A couple coats makes it better, but don't stop too soon.

No final picture, but this flap needed another 3 treatments to get uniform coloration.

 

Anyone ever replace there ac condenser with a smaller sized one? The stock one is to big for where I’m trying to fit it
