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

how does that happen with the diff?

 

Something plugs up the breather and the seals begin to weep, or worse you blow a seal.

 

I just got my 33s and im ready for 35s too haha

keep the stock top location and just burn in new mounts right below.

Jelly, i wish i could do that..

 

That is what I was thinking too, but I wanted to see a picture and get some opinions. Thanks.

 

Thanks bud,

I used Rust-oleum on the Bed, Wheels, Bumpers, Skids, Sliders, and Grill.

The "roll bar" in the bed came with a black coating and the flares are black plastic.

 

Actually I did the back bumper a few weeks ago. Just now getting pictures up

 

Awesome light bars! What's the siren for?

 

i seem to remember using a Philips on mine at some point..

 

Today she went in for a tranny and transfer case fluid change. Pick her up tomorrow. I am having Redline 85W90 synthetic put in, both. Also just installed the UltragaugeEM, pretty cool little device.

 

scheduled for an alignment..finally..ha

Started selling supra parts today too

All for the truck tho

 

It was just a matter of time. Taco mods FTW.

 

Removed rear cat

 

Yesterday installed EGR bug deflectors, EGR in chanel window visors, Optima Yellowtop, AFE Pro Dry Filter, And opened up deck plate that I installed last week.

Tommorow sound system gets completed. 2 JL 10" W-0 V3s, Alpine Type R 6.5 coaxials, Pioneer head unit, and Planet Audio Amp

 

Got my bed extender in today! Now I can haul my 16' canoe in a 5' bed... LOL

 

Made a cool little mod today, melted battery mod which in turn makes fire/smoke in engine bay!!!

Battery tilted and fell over while driving, which then fried my amp wire. Was wondering WTF my truck died and doing wierd electrical shit. Me and buddy seen smoke, jumped out, seen the battery hanging, clipped wires, placed battery back in place in a course of 45-60 seconds, didn't miss a red light at 5 O'clock traffic. Drove to starbucks, seen that the hold down hinge came loose, tied it down and drove away (with milkshake, F frappacinos)

My battery is now melted a bit where the amp wire caught fire, but will be a constant reminder to me to always check it while I am doing maintenance.

Will check in the morning to do a full check on all systems, but drove it for 2 hours after everything and seems to be ok. Go Go lil tacoma that could!

 

got a few things tinted on her today. let me know what you think of them. also thinking about putting bed linner on my tool box.. any thoughts or suggestions on how to make it black?

 

I hate when I cant see peoples brake lights....I would be a nervous wreck if I tinted mine. Its right up there with insurance fraud. $0.02

 

you can still see the brake lights very well with my tint. the only thing is they do look very black so i hope i dont get pulled for them. the law says you need to see the brake light from 1000 feet but cops can be assholes in richmond

 

Got a good deal on an Optima Yellow top, came home and installed it tonight.
