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

Thanks! Snobord bar, he's a member here that makes them, princess auto lights.

 

Did that.

 

^Not bad

Is that matte or just unpainted?

 

I've looked all over but couldn't find anything but...
does anyone know if there is such a tire as a 295/8 inch / 15 inch? (i'm looking for a 285 or 295 for a set of 15/8 rims... )

 

Matte black grill and mesh. I peeled all of the chrome off of the grill.

 

Washed and waxed the truck today! .... Only to realize i started peeling the plasti-dip off my front bumper with the hose . Time to repaint with something more permanent.

 

Ran out of gas at a stop light, washed it, and gave it a FULL tank

...got approx. 14 mpg (city miles)

 

I was getting about 14mpg till I did a major tune up (clean Throttle body, replace fuel filter, replace pcv, plugs/wires, airfilter, clean MAF)

Up to 18 city now on 33's and stock gears

 

nice! soooo i've gotta get to that some day soon!

 

Bedlinered my sliders and re-tinted my tail lights. Also, decided I'm gonna pick up some 63" Chevy leafs from u pull and pay to replace my all-pro expos and make money in the process. So who wants my expos????

 

I got the "You need a new steering rack and tie rods" app today... anyone got an idea on where to buy this cheap...

 

Waiting on gears to come.... I could put in the front end stuff now, but I'd just have to take it all out again to re-gear and install the locker. I'm hoping my gears will get here soon....

 

autozone.

Get autozone outer tie rod ends. Mine came and they were Japanese made "555" brand...same as MOOG for $30 less per side.

And the autozone rack comes w/ inners and boots.

And do it yourself....very simple job. And get poly bushings while you are at it.

 

plus w/ the autozone duralast parts you get a lifetime warranty...so if ANY of it wear out...new parts on autozone

 

Thanks - I was looking at rockauto and it's like $600 for the rack with the tierods... ouch. I'll check out autozone - surprising answer actually...

Others - please chime in!

And when I do the work, which parts do I need... I can do the work, but I need to order the parts all together so I don't get stuck half way through...

 

Do the tundra axles shock mounts still line up with a Tacos??

 

PCV?

 

i don't know if they do... i would suspect not since they are about 5" wider than a stock taco...

 

True..

Just trying to plan for the future. Had relocating the rear shock already on the list..so ill just wait longer for it.
