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

Not today, Tuesday a week ago............. I TOTALED it!
Hit a tree on driver side corner going about 50-55 mph and kept on spinning bit did not flip. Thankfully my wife and I are both ok other than my concussion and our few bruises!


Now looking to replace it asap! http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/new-members/204084-howdy-im-new-here-need-ideas.html#post4549479

Ouch, glad you are okay!!!

 

curious as to how you hit a tree? wet rainy, snowy? how this happen glad the taco kept you and wify safe

 

holy hell! the front end of your truck was in your lap someone was watchin over you

 

There is actually 6 holes. 3 are large and 3 are small, all of them are welded though

 

Holy crap.

Glad you and yours are okay. That's most important.

Any way you could pull the passenger side door lock actuator for me?

 

Alright, I'll look into that when I get home. Thanks

 

got my white led dash and a/c lights...install and pics tonight.

 

is that home made?
These are mine, BTW looks good.

 

looks like it, jd try to turn the heat up a little bit. or did you already clean it up after you welded it?

 

On Saturday I put new swaybar end links on both sides. The original passenger side link was stripped out so I could not tighten it anymore and it was loose and I could hear it bouncing going down the road.

 

Yes, homemade for about $15 in materials

I cleaned them before the picture. You can still see a little bit of coloring on one of the holes but they all had heat marks before I wire wheeled it

 

Wet roads..... Tires had about 30% tred. :-/ Hydroplaned on a curve. Freek thing is someone else did the same thing a few trees down 3 days later! Lady that towed my truck said they pick up bad wrecks there all the time.



It was defiantly a God thing that we were both ok!!!! And yeah I'm sure he used our truck to protect us!

 

It was God for sure!!!!

The insurance Company already took the truck away, but I'll find out what, if they will let me pull anything else from the truck (after they give me a quote on what I'll be getting back).

Not looking forward to trying to replace what I had!

 

Well, of course. I would expect no less. I will do the same when I get the minivan.

 

purchased some LEDs to swap in behind the guages... going green, that orange is annoying

 

oh hell ya.....your truck just got 10x sexier. now you need a 3.4 swap

 

Sweet you should have them on by next year lol. Unfortunately Glassworks has become really slow at getting products out. Where did you order from?

 

haha, hopefully. It sucks because I have Glassworks and I love the fit and quallity but really puts a bad name on them when I read about horror stories. Make sure you stay on him, I called about 10 times over the course of 3 months to get mine. And yes I got the infamous "UPS must have lost them so I will send another set right away" story twice
