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

What did you use?

 

Water, a roll of paper towels, Meguiars Natural Shine Protectant for the plastic and rubber and a shitload of elbow grease. It’s not showroom quality but it’s a lot better than it was.

 

If you are bored, mine could use some help

 

Hit a dip a little too fast. This is after I pulled it back up as much as I could but it was actually about another 5 inches downward. Damn 33s. Worth it. It doesn’t seem to wanna go all the way back up. Gonna take a closer look at it tomorrow.

 

Day 2. Pulled the plate bumper off a while ago to change out the winch line to synthetic, then life got busy and I put the stock bumper back on to drive around legally.

Today I pulled the stock bumper and grill off, put the Pelfreybilt fairlead on, replaced the steel cable with synthetic winch line from Master Pull, put the Factor 55 shackle on, attached it to the bumper and fired everything up to make sure it still worked.

Now I gotta figure out how to get this heavy bastard back on the truck.

 

Pulled all the aal out. Stock pack that had a second gen leaf swapped in. Stance and ride are much improved with the 2" drop.

My under hood is garbage. Looks like the battery vomited acid allll up under there

 

still got the skyjacker leaf in it? or is that what you pulled? Id guess that one since those suckers are really arched.

 

Lot's of multiple projects on my camper/explorer build.

Mounted up my solar panel, for my LightHarvest portable all-in-one (2000W):


The SuperPacific struts don't even notice the weight:

 

I pulled the pro comp and skyjacker out. So it's a stock pack, but I swapped out one of the leafs with a second gen leaf. Still have the overload. I did expect it to sit lower than it is TBH. Tomorrow will be a better test. Makes me want to slap some tube doors on it tho..

 

Very nice!

So that is what my trucks color is supposed to look like?

 

Anyone know where to get a blank airbag switch cover?

 

Not today, but early this week. Trying to finish up this 4x4 swap. Hoping to button everything up this weekend.




ready to go back in.

 

I may have one. I'll check for you in a little bit.

 

Day 3. Removed the 20 year old yellowed headlights and replaced them with retrofit projection headlights from Southern Retrofits. I still need to hook up the halos but that’ll be another time. I’m just happy to be able to see at night again. Installed my Taco Vinyl Pro Grille. Now I’m just sitting here waiting on Amazon to show up with my corner lights….

 

Did the tundra brake upgrade today, took around 2 hours. Definitely worth it, I'm very happy with the outcome
