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

I live in Cali - so, I'm just being rebellious by not having it - it's only a fixit ticket... I never had one on my subaru wrx, and corvettes don't have them... I figure I'll risk it

^^WORD^^

 

Any suggestions - Is it just rough them up and paint away right?

I have weights inside and outside on my rims to get them to balance properly because I bought cheap ass tires and put them on old beat up rims... Still vibrates around 60 mph (not above or below - which I hear means its a balancing issue)

I'm thinking about leaving it for now and buying new rims once I get rid of these tires - I just hope they wear out quickly...

Kumho mojaves - at-63's - 31x10.5, 15's I like the way they drive on road (quiet, controlled, etc) and off road they have provided me with plenty of traction (jobsites and dirt roads) Clean out well and in the rain, trustworthy

Cons: I don't think they can be balanced properly...

 

snapped this for you while i was out sorry for the cell phone pic

 

Nice! I thought I was going to be the first, but I chickened out! lol I wonder if a 98-00 face would look as good as the 01-04 with eyelids...... hmmmm

 

thanks!!! was kinda iffy myself but i said ahh what the heck if it doesnt look good i could always take it off

 

im about to hit 160k damn they grow up fast

 

went wheeling with a couple of friends..everyone got stuck but me and the silverado. pulled the fj out no problem :]
here are a couple pics..no action shots really


wish we got action shots and video..maybe next time

 

Nice dude looks like it was pretty fun. My truck looked like that a couple weeks ago, mud is always fun but man does it suck cleaning up. Have fun .

 

Tell me about it man, my interior still has mud in it

 

got the daystar spacers installed in my 5 lugger....It rides pretty good, Thanks to joel for the help

 

mud sucks...

I have found dried mud stuck under the rear fenders months after going out...

And clumps of mud under seats

 

Hey guys - I know I've been pushing my paint job, but I'd like you to check out the rest of my truck - please check out my build thread (link in signature) I'd appreciate it...

 

forgot to unplug my truck when i drove off. so i ripped off the end of the block heater cord

easy fix but stupid on my part lol

 

Thats okay. You don't ever want a block heater anyways

 

Unclamped and sold my camper top because I found out i was going to have a baby!

 

You gotta get a nice pic from the front so we can see both head lights!

 

Not sure why having a baby means selling your camper top - but congratulations on the baby part!


FTW!!!!!!!!

 

Put new IK22s in her. I didn't bother when I did the timing belt, SC oil, URD 7th kit a few weekends ago because the current set only had 8K on them, but then I felt kinda bad about it, plus it was a hard 8K, plus I hadn't gapped them, plus it was a little 'off' feeling... runs better now, I think.

I gave in a let my wife drive it....just enough snow & ice left on the roads that my reasoning powers gave her the Taco and my daughter the Camry !!!!

Lets just say my Daughter ask for forgiveness rather than permission;

"But Dad,you said the Tacoma would go anywhere I pointed it " comes to mind





Ronman737, congrats and cherish that child young..they grow up and want the keys....

 

babys aint cheap man.....them little fuckers tear through some diapers.
