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

Yeah definitely looks like they pack down nicely.

It's a whole lotta stuff. It was an all pro expo rack that was designed for a second gen. It was then covered with a custom canvas, and at some point had a back door but not when I bought it. I cut the rails off and built rails that fit a first gen tacoma and then made my own modifications to it beyond that.

Awesome @cynicalrider

Those are the ones I had seen in person that I was talking about.

You get those off Amazon? Can't seem to find them. Plug & play?

 

What did you do to prep your frame for the POR-15?

 

Doesn't your truck have an air compressor?

 

yeeahhhhh..

New bumpers from a fabrication shop out in Utah.
Love them so far.

 

Is that hole for Race-Louvers?

 

New ditch/deer lights...

 

ah bummer man. Sounds like what happened to Mikes. Not sure what the fix was but he had take it in for repair.

 

After knocking the loose rust off
I used the
1) POR-15 degreaser
2) POR-15 metal prep
3) POR-15 paint.

now I have to spray the POR-15 top coat still

POR-15 is the best rust proofing system I have ever used.

I also sprayed “Fluid Film” inside the frames once the POR-15 was dry.

 

What a badass weekend! (Pic heavy post)

Started out Friday afternoon with my wife and my good buddies @Blue Canary @Motofox and @essjay. Headed up the hill and found a pretty epic spot.



@CemenTRDgen met up with us Saturday morning and we set out to explore Long Valley. The area we were camping in.




Headed out back to the highway, to run over Sonora Pass towards Leavitt Lake.



On the way back to camp, we stopped off and supported the Dardanelle Resort (decimated b the Donnell Fire a couple years ago) by getting some snacks, ice cream, beer (and Jen got herself a sweatshirt)



@TacoJohn4x4 met up with us Saturday night, and we chilled around the camp fire.



Then Sunday was a big day... Niagara Rim Trail was waiting for us to run it.



And run it we did... all with minimal damage to rigs



Wrapped it up by airing down and talking a little shit about the day.

 

Started my bed swap… amazed to find only a few spots of light surface rust. Tomorrow should have the new bed on, trail gear rear bumper installed, tinted tail lights in and then start working on a drawer system for the bed. Then pop the canopy back on and time to go wheelin in BC.

 

Posted on Facebook but I got a $30 topper yesterday

 

The big vent won't get louvers, just a mesh and a flap on the leading edge. It's placed right behind my radiator and in the low pressure zone so that it increases the pressure differential across the radiator. When it rains, I can actually see water shooting out of there, so I haven't tested it with streamers yet.

 

I got it pretty close to being together. Need to change the diff fluids and get it aligned.

Still don’t think the engines running 100%, timing seems high and it’s making a new noise since I got it back from the shop. Still need to investigate.



Only picture I have

 

Pick up a set of Neutral Denisty (ND) filters for the drone, makes the color really pop without any editing! Totally worth it.

 

Not mine, it's my buddy's drone from work. lol

 

What do you mean seat options. I just pretty much got the cheapest Cipher Auto Seats cloth. They are out of the black one. So I got black with red. Here is the shot of interior. I might have posted it earlier in this thread. But here it is:

Yeah.

Ive been thinking about doing this with my hood. And I figured it would suck out some heat soaked air. When the hoods up and the fan is engaged you can feel a strong steam of air right above the fan.

I just want a vent/louver that can be grafted in, flows with body lines, and looks factory.
