Still think its got looks

 

if I ever totalled the Tacoma these would be on my list for a new beater build, especially with the 302 as an option. I liked the interiors lol

 

@Kwikvette you need another Tacoma

Those are nice critters

 

Wow that looks well done
I think thats the lowest sas I've ever seen

 

No kidding, that's a sweet setup!

I want to replace the sensor and plug before the GX goes to market. Wanna let me borrow that topside creeper so I can hurry up?

 

Today I learned that 90s Explorer builds were a thing.

 

Finally spent a few hours reshuffling all our stuff that we just piled into the garage when we moved in so that I can fit my truck in there. Still needs a shit ton of organizing but it’s progress lol

 

huge change from the last garage pic!

 

for sure, you can roll the Tacoma out of the way and work in that bay if you'd like

 

Yeah it’s all just stacked along the walls now lol. Tools/working area is non existent which I really want to focus on soon but this was a step in the right direction

 

Check out what showed up today! Stoked there are still folks making parts for these old trucks!

 

Need some help putting some dents in it?

 

For sure! Anywhere to smash it up on rug road?

 

I'm sure we can find somewhere out there

 

I had a chance last week to spend some time getting it organized. There is a lot just stacked along the walls. I did make enough room to put the green truck in or work on a vehicle.
We did some CVs and hubs on a friends FJ last week.

 

@Kwikvette @0xDEADBEEF Something you might be interested in. All of these high-end Toyota seats are similar.

I hated the first hog ring pliers I bought, and I do have another set that worked way better.

Have you tried different replacement leathers?

I kinda liked how the seat bottoms came out, but wasn't happy with the uprights from LSeat. However, their customer service is great as they sent me a replacement set right away.

I still have those leather uppers as I didn't want to replace them again

 

Pics when I first installed them -





Then a pic after having them for over a year -



The seat bottoms definitely wore in quite a bit better but the rears still looked the same.

I'd probably use them again if I had to, maybe.
