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

thanks! yah the gas mileage is a killer too. hahahhaha

 

Version 2 of my phone mount.

Added a Shapeways MagSagfe phone mount custom made by @nzbrock

My Version 1 required me to have two small plates between my phone and case for the magnetic mount to hold it. Phone was really heavy with that set up. So I moved to this phone mount and a lightweight Qi charge capable phone case.

 

Oooooo I like. Are they making more?

 

Yup: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/nzb-sculpture

Fast transaction also.

 

Put the Level 8 wheels back on with the smaller tires. I think the stance is perfect, but need to figure out a way to get this with the front bumper off and bed empty. Probably need to swap to some 4cyl springs up front. The rear is already down to two leafs so not much to go other than a SOA setup. Also need to find a new flare

 

Your ditching the bed and bumper?

 

No I need the bed to do truck stuff haha I want to find OEM bumpers though. Front bumper will be a tough pull as I do love it. Just need to list it and try to trade for OEM.

 

This is what mine look like preassembled from wheelers offroad. I can take more pics if you need

 

Ya, I think they just needed to settle. We put them on the truck and everything straightened out.

I think the pre-assembled ones look straighter because they sit that way on the shelf.

They just looked a little crooked to me at first. But there's really no way to put the coils on wrong. As long as you have the perch on right side up... lol

 

Trucks prepped to go on the trailer tomorrow and hopefully have it’s cab off tomorrow night



Goals to be done in a week (I have painting to do to parts) but I have the rack for 2 weeks just in case

 

Those wheels

and those 35s

 

Love the wheels. Selling the meats.

 

missed my 2003 hitting 120K by a few feet.

 

Tundra putting in work… end of day I hope this is just a frame with a bed still attached on the trailer

 

Hm not sure what happened to mine or I'd just give it to you. Think it died.

 

I need the full bumper and crush beam I'm sure. Ideally I can find someone who has those and make it part of a trade.

 

Technically I'm not making them. They are 3D print on demand through shapeways. I get a percentage of the sale and shapeways prints and ships them. I prototyped the design from various older designs. Here is a 2 piece version that requires hardware to assemble: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4926475 I just don't have access to SLS printers to print them in one piece, and the 2 piece one is still tricky to print on a FDM printer.

 

I have the stock bumpers off my pickup. They've been sitting outside for the last year but they're your's if you want. I'll take some pics of everything and get them to you after I'm off work

 

New AC compressor today for my 95 3.4L. Taking off the PS pump makes it an easy job.
