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

Looks great.

What's your definition of a "deep clean"

 

Cleaning all the mud and brush from under it, washing and waxing the outside, polishing the wheels "which takes forever by hand." armor all the tires and the dash, clean the windows and cleaning the inside.. Haha its been almost a year

 

oh haha...

Just saw you did the chrome on the door handles, its been a slow sunday, the juices aren't going yet...I am also on a slow mission to eliminate my chrome.

Waiting to get my 4X bumper so I can eliminate the front bumper

 

Still waiting to see how that looks on our front end.

When you supposed to get it?

 

Man, I don't know. I ordered it at the beginning of march, and he said it would be about 2 weeks then he would email me the tracking #. But nothing yet. I emailed Adam at 4x but haven't heard back yet...and from what I have heard that is pretty uncharacteristic of Adam.

 

Yea that is surprising. Maybe try giving him a call Monday.

 

Got to know the trim package pretty well... and got all my Polk DB651s installed plus the JVC head unit.... sounds so much better than the old stock units.

Nice job, madjik. I think I am going to have to paint my fender flares soon. Magic Eraser and 303 aren't cutting it for me.

 

I just took off the fenders super clean

 

I am going to...I cant wait to get some armor on this truck!!

 

Call him, from all the business I did with him I realized calling works better than emailing...this goes with pretty much any business though.

 

Yeah, I bought some Magic Eraser (for tough jobs) and it worked well. But for the amount of elbow grease I put into, it didn't last long.

I have so many chunks of fiberglass missing from my flares that I need to do it right.

Fill it in with fiberglass (or bondo.. will that work?), sand, prep, prime and paint.

No flares on lifted trucks looks very sweet.

No flares on stock trucks looks very base and incomplete IMO

 

I did that too but found a surprise of faded paint and rust... They went back on pretty quick

 

Yeah, mine are plastic, not fiberglass, so no chips to fill. I intend to use the Duplicolor plastic adhesion promoter plus satin back, or Duplicolor's palstic trim paint. Whatever they recommend.

 

Depends on the intersection...

So - what your saying is that lot of dad's on here aren't actually the father?? Dang!! That's messed up!

 

installed my bestop in the 80 degree weather! I think it looks pretty good!

 

Looks great...

....love the husky pup too. I miss my guy, greatest dogs ever.

 

Ordered some parts for my take on Audi's led headlights. Can't wait.

 

I did a few things today.
I replaced this battery


with this battery


I also made some rear floor mats out of some old carpet we used in our boat.

 

mounted my flashlights. quickfists are pretty awesome
