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

How did Hells Gate treat you aired up? Oh wait, you aired down.

 

Moab trails the rock is so grippy I'm not surprised you can get away without airing down.

 

Lol yeah fuck that in this kinda shit.

Wayyy better chance to slice a sidewall that way on the PA granite.

 

Or really loose dirt/rock climbs on steep grades like we have out this way, not airing down means you're not making it up. Or you're going to spin your tires like a madman trying.

 

well you all fucked up then. I'd have done it while he was asleep haha

 

My truck never left camp either so didn’t really matter

 

You did Gemini Bridges in your truck, but yeah that was basically a fire road.

 

Although it would have been funny to air you down before you left to go home, lol

 

I guess I did

 

Someone woulda had to air me back up


Well, it woulda be mean not to

 

mine got a new alternator today!

 

and battery!

 

Got my Bike Binderz installed. Quick way to secure the bike, and still have space for camp gear all without straps.

I dealt with this for a few days during a really rainy spell. It went away on its own and I totally forgot it had been happening. Did you find the solution?

 

Christmas is here!

 

Not sure if you deal with rust/corrosion a ton, but if you do I would maybe order a spare set of the main spring eye bolts. They get seized in the front bushings fairly often.

My AZ truck doesn’t have a spec of rust on it and my drivers side had to be cut out. Wheelers has them for sale if you find yourself having to cut them out.

 

Not yet but I’m pretty sure it is the controller in the driver side panel it’s easy to take out and replace it I just haven’t gotten a part number and price yet. I did just have everything taken apart the other day to change out both my driver and passenger door handles and I noticed no signs of moisture

 

wiggle the door handle while you try to unlock it, you will need to lubricate some of the internal door components too.

 

My passenger side door did that, locked every time I tried to open it from the outside. I took the door panel off and lubed the locking mechanism, it's smooth as silk now.

 

Replaced the shifter linkage bushings. Solid as a rock now. The downside is now I can't wiggle the shifter and pretend I'm back to driving a stick...
