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

Front Rotors and pads, bought Duralast pads and rotors, lots of meat left on pads, but the rotors were warped a tiny bit, just about as cheap to replace them as to have them turned.

 

Took mine to Camelback Toyota and got a quick service done, oil change, tire rotation, etc, etc.

Spent an hour talking tacoma's with the salesman that sold Gearbox his new truck after the "AZ Taco Rally 2010". They said that Toyota will stop making the FJ Cruiser after the 2012s come out.

 

You don't want to know.

 

Nope, not yet. Been too lazy. haha I'll be starting one soon though.

 

Yes we do!!!!

Nice. Looking foward to seeing it!

 

I hear you can get more hp and mpg with your hood off...

 

Finally bought new tires! Took forever to save up the money! Pics don't do justice!

 

For real! My next major buy will be a bumper from avid probably so then I'll have a skid plate, but that will be a few months down the road.

 

One probably would've saved me from messing up a seal in my front end causing it to leak right now...

 

Haha I would but no junkyard around here has tacomas laying in them, my dad and I have searched around for little here and there parts before and they are nowhere to be found in junk yards

 

Well considering the only thing you can do around here is mud, I think I've got the whole "I wanna go mudding all the time!" out of my system lol so I probably won't be doing much until I get a bumper and skid.

Cleaned my 15's and my orange underglows earlier!

Yeah I can understand your point of view, any off roading results in stress on something. I'll probably stick to just trail riding for a good while, but even our trails have a muddy creek or two with clay in the bottom. Or at least this was my excuse for getting larger mud tires Dad wanted me to get 265/75/16 Bf Goodrich A/T's.

 

No, like this \_/ there's 2 of these you have to cross down a trail, we only ride around at night down trails, so I have no pics. My valence and trailer hitch rubbed every time back when I had no lift and 31's.

 

Haha well you can see how far I've pushed mine when my trailer hitch started dragging in this pic!

 

Haha I definitely need a better recovery point on my front end! I went through a mud hole and got high-centered, and behind me was a steep hill so I had to be pulled from the front. I had just recently cut my hand wide open and had super glue to keep it closed, well my tow hook was stuck in mud so I had to dig it out, and used my cut hand to do it not thinking! Actually lucky I didnt get and infection becasue I used lake water to wash the mud off... The things we do for our tacoma...

Most recent result from cleaning dirt out from underside of truck

BRIGHT!

 

Yeah, I've heard that, but with living on a dirt road it sin't even worth doing a thorough cleaning, I just washed off my lights. I can completely wash and wax my truck and 2 days later I have a layer of dirt covering it. Just spray it down and wipe it off about once a week until the wax wears off and start the process over again.

 

Scored 4- 285/75/16 BFG MT's for $100.......
