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

Very vague question.

MY limiter is the 3 gallons of water in my driver rear tire limiting me to only going 30 mph before the truck wants to bounce off the road

 

woot!
sticker position looks good

 

Looks like Deathrace 2000 scoring.

 

Replaced the struts on my Trailmaster Lift and did the "grey wire mod" for my locker now that i know it works.

 

Oh, and I also fixed a grounding issue i had with my KC Lights on the bumper

 

Wow, that looks great.

I think i am going to copy your design

I have some extra angle iron laying around...

 

Finally - getting it back together after painting it... before and after shots...




But, I am waiting for my new corner lights to come in - in case anyone was wondering why I didn't have them in...

 

Is that the battleship gray?

Looks fuggen awesome

 

Thanks - close enough to battleship gray - Rustoleum calls it smoke gray... truck bed coating is going on the truck soon - but not in the bed - some of it is already on the front bumper, along with rustoleum metallic on the chrome bits and side mirrors...




Here's before wetsanding and polishing (ah dang, my 3.4l is showing):

 

Spent a large portion of the day doing some stuff to her.

-Changed the sparkplugs, NGK
-Did the "elbow mod"
-Replaced the headlight bulbs
-Polished the headlight covers

It's amazing how smooooooth it runs. Rest your hand on it and you literally can't feel any vibrations whatsoever.

 

Elbow mod??

 

It's the removal of the debatable 'restrictive' 90 degree bent tube that connects the airbox to the inner fenderwell. Me being me, I've never liked the idea of hacking up the airbox to do a deckplate, so basically just trying this out to see if there is any difference at all for the time being. Haven't driven it enough yet to really get an idea, but the short distance I have gone, throttle response may be a little more responsive down low and it seems to 'get up to speed' with a little less effort and use of the gas. May very well end up swapping it back in though... just one of those things I thought I'd try after reading some threads about it is all.

I can't stop staring at that smoke gray color.

It's beautiful.

I hope whatatoy continues with the black/gray theme and blacks out the wheels, etc...

That scheme would be bonerific

 

Drove from Tulsa to Denver...


Thru a blizzard in Eastern CO...


Hit a patch of black ice on I-70, fortunately I was able to throttle steer it into the grassy shoulder, before the shoulder became a steep bank. I could not even find dirt on the rims (or anywhere else) when I got to my friends house in Erie CO!

 

installed a brake controller for my new pop up.
