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

It really is an awsome place. I try and get up there ever few months for a good 10 mile hike or so. There is so much to see.

 

Yeah strapped with a seat belt

 

Finished my bestop, next step is to get rid of all the rest of the chrome. Then do my grill.

 

Damn your red looks good after 10 years. Wish mine held up like that!

 

Yep. I grew up going to a Bible Camp right down the road off of Fall Creek Rd (Friddle Lake) from Jones Gap. When I got older I started doing a lot of camping and hiking at Jones Gap, they have a really excellent trail system and I have been tempted to throw a line in at the fishery...

 

Haha thanks. It lived most of it's life in juneau, AK so there's not that much sun. Although I think my iphone's hdr app also has a lot to do with making the paint look better.

 

Who needs back seats in an ext cab

 

Hardest run I did was up Pinnacle then Table Rock. Went about 12 miles in 9 hours. I was in so much pain that laying down on the jagged rock felt comfortable....

 

finally gave her a bath


Plasti-dipped the front plate and I like how it turned out
Will do real paint in the next couple days

 

I'm sure that app wouldn't help me. If I don't use a red wax every couple of months, I end up with an almost pink truck.

DAMN YOU CARDINAL RED!!!!!

 

Yeah I was thinking that his paint looked good....I'm going on 12 years with my Taco and I have the nasty double white streaks spreading on top of the roof...
I'll eventually get a paint job but that might make the dings from off roading show up

 

no more red there, its pink now

 

I wouldn't spend the 3-5K it would cost for a good paint job if your going to ding it up off road.

 

Its not as bad after a good wax.

 

x2

looks a little fresher. just line-x the thing red

 

You know no one has ever mentioned that, but it bugs me every time I look at it. I haven't gone and investigated to see what was causing it but if its as simple as just readjusting the front bumper I might just go ahead and do that.

 

I'd like to do that at some point. Although I think I've heard that is still like a $2k.

 

That might be a good option....rather than prime red/gray and blue

Painted my wiper arms too, as you can see.

 

Installed (pics don't do it justice... it looks SO much better now that it is black)
