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

It would be better than a billet battery tiedown and those sell like hot cakes.

 

hey twin

 

Snorkel install today, 75 for the snorkel and 20 for prefilter.

 

What pre filter is it?

 

I dunno, it came from Australia

 

Are those the Nilight 18W you are running for ditch lights? I have bought 3 sets and am amazed at how much light they put out for such low watt, cheap lights.
I have them on both my Tacos and my tractor. Probably going to put a set on my ATV. Haven't had one fail yet. Oldest are 3 yrs old and I run them often for support for my original H4 headlights on the Tacos.

Yep

 

where did you get the snorkel for $75?

 

I know there are some cheap options on eBay, the eBay Safari snorkel knockoff is around $150 now though. And it doesn't run along the outside of the fender like that one, that's a different version I forget the name of.

I like the look of this one better than the knock off safari snorkel. I looked at the build of this one versus others at $500 and it's up to spec. You're just not paying for a sticker name or maybe even a warranty

 

testing a 3d printed shifter knob. need to epoxy the nut and acrylic coat it, then done.

 

Washed a months worth of bird shit off of it from sitting in a barn and took it to a shop to see about having the frame straightened. Going to leave it there next week and the guy is going to work it in between other projects. We’ll see how that goes. The 2nd gen pulled it surprisingly well even with that heavy trailer that typically pulls like shit behind my buddies Cummins.

 

Had some help cleaning out my camper!

 

Worked on getting the water spots off the windows today! Took forever, but it looks like I got brand new windows.

For those interested: I strapped a microfiber cloth to the front corner of a tile grouting tool, dripped car wax on a portion of the window, and rubbed it with my microfiber tool like a mad man. Took a couple hours and a lot of elbow grease.

 

Your truck is clean, dude. I love that color.

 

Thanks man!

 

It's the little things! Love it.

 

vinegar works well too.

 

I tried that, but mine wouldn’t come off with vinegar. May have been baked on too hard.
