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

I'll do it for him...

And yes im quuoting it cuz that looks so sick.

 

That wrap around looks aggressive as hell

 

i installed some lights under my rear bumper today.
and while getting some bolts for my truck i found out that there is a supper hot girl that works at a hardware store by me. I think i am gunna have to go back there next week at the same time without my dad and get her number. Thank you tacoma for making me go to the hardware store.

 

Hey, nice area, I went up on Pilot Mountain today in the Taco and did some hiking, but plum forgot to take pics of the truck... Oh well... LOL We were heading back form seeing the out, I mean in-laws...

 

speechless.

 

Jeez today was fun.

Changed out my 99 cig plastic for that of an 04, so instead of large ashtray, its meant to house a smaller one, but has the cutouts for two rocker switches. shweeet.

changed dome light bulb to the correct bulb.

and found my stereo can be loud. if you jiggle the wires. the entire wire assembly is electrical taped and ghetto rigged.

oh and i actually got my airbag light BLINKING today as opposed to always on! i jiggled the passenger on/off relay when i removed radio bezel, but i never disconnected the assembly, just took it off the bezel.

 

This...

 

I would guess trail gear maybe

 

They're "Revenge Fab". Got them back in early 09' before he went full retard. Great sliders, shame he ripped a bunch of people off and disappeared.

 

Did this a while and forgot to post it


Noticed that this looked terrible.


Scrapped off the rest of the crap


Plasti-Dipped


Reinstalled!

 

how did you get it off? i tried a while ago but i didnt want to break it.

 

Greased the front and rear drive shaft (they were almost empty) Checked the oil in transfer case, transmission, and rear end for the first time since I bought it, all good. Replaced the lower idler pulley that was screeching. Easiest smoothest day of maintenance ever.

 

Noticed that my RPM light gauges on the red line are very dull compared to the rest of my gauges.. Is there a separate light for the red liners?

 

There are several lights back there, probably just have one burned out or whatever. I have a few that need replacing.

 

Finished debadging my '99 (all except the 2 doors)

Tinted 3rd brake light w/Hawaiian Islands... CHEEEE!!!

 

Im thinking of removing my "flares" If you can call them that on my truck..One half popped off the other day after i hit a bump...didn't look bad..

Apparently you don't need to take off the mirror.

 

Heard my truck being loud over bumps. Looked under to find a broken passenger 5150. Ordered some 5100s for the rear. Been driving careful on just the leafs with aal. Hope to get the 5100s on ASAP.

 

Saved myself a couple hundred dollars.
Took my truck in to a Toyota service department to figure out what the clunking sound was in my drivers side front wheel area. I had taken the wheel off before and couldn't find anything loose. The service department said it was worn out stabilizer bar links, so I got a price from them to fix it ($354), then went home to find them online. Bought Moog replacement links on Amazon for $30 each, had them at my door in two days and just installed them. Problem solved and the Moogs have zirk grease fittings which is nice. Somewhat simple install besides having to cut the bolts off the oem links since they were 12 years old and didn't want to come off easily. So $64 for the service diagnosis and $62 for new replacement links.
