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

LOL thanks man it's going back on I just had some spring cleaning in the back yard and had to do some dump runs.

 

Yep Mine is coming off this weekend I'll try and get some before & after flex pics.

 

That would be awesome. Mine is rattling around like crazy and the endlinks won't tighten up (probably stripped out) so I've been thinking of just cutting it out when the weathers nice and the parents aren't around

 

Painted my Hubs, I disliked the caps / cub holders that came with the rims.

Before:

After:

Just used a wire brush and a couple coats of flat black grill paint. I'm happy how they came out.

* I did more taping / covering of the rims f.y.i before I sprayed them.

 

try holding on to the other side of the endlink(the rod inside the rubber bushing) with needle nose vice grips when tightening it. it is probably spinning all as one not allowing you to fully tighten it.

 

put one coat of bedliner on, STILL not dry, so we'll get pics when we finish. so far so pretty though

 

Yeah I have some blocks of wood I flex the truck out on this weekend at my mod day to show you the difference in articulation with the sway bar out.

 

Had a bedliner sprayed in, tinted the windows and installed my camo cordura seat covers. I'm getting the truck where i want it slowly but surely.

 

Looks nice.

Are those tires 275/70/16?

 

I'll try that but I'm going to order new end links first if I get pissed off or if I don't like it. Thanks for the advice

 

Sweet pics would be appreciated...plusi just like seeing pictures of your truck

 

Put bout 125 miles on her today. Thinking bout painting my rims this weekend or should I leave them?

 

Seriously considered holding off on my rear suspension upgrades and purchasing a skid row skid

 

washed all the mud off from saturday, if I get a chance tomorrow i'm doing the foglight mod.

 

Bedlined my flares.

Before:


After:

 

That looks really smooth, what did you use?

 

Let me know how that holds up over time. What prep work did you do? What brand of bedliner did you use? Can or roll on?

 

It actually doesnt look that much difference in the pic, ill have to go get my good camera and upload how it looks on the truck but all i did was clean them with this acid like rim cleaner we use at work that eats the hell out of grease then washed that off and scrubed it with a rago to get all the dirt possible off, then used some sand paper and did a light sanding on it then hung the pieces in the garage and sprayed em down and i used the rustoleum bed liner spray from wally world, since i had 2 full cans in my toolbox for slider touchup and my flares were already off i figured why not

They turned out great, going to get camera now.

 

Took out my crappy old stock air filter and replaced it with an AFE Pro Dry filter! It looks really well made and should last a long time.

Going to paint the skids this weekend with Rustoleum Bed Liner.
