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

They're 285/75/16's. i have a leveling kit on it but i had to cut out the inner fenders when i got it to keep them from rubbing when I hit a bump with the wheels turned. i love em but they are a tight fit haha

 

Looks great, Reid.

 

Changed the fuel filter

 

Thanks man

I didn't wanna leave it in gear too long to dry even with the tires chocked so I quickly shifted it back into park after it was dry enough to touch. Left a thumb print Sooooo... I added a couple more on purpose so it looks like a design

 

where'd you get those headlights?

 

I got he blk housing headlights off eBay and retrofitted and painted the bowls my self

 

So you figured out what was wrong with the shifter yesterday?

What was it?

 

fixed the stuff i broke yesterday in rage.

nice black shaft there RMAN! looks good.

 

The part of the button on the inside of the brown thing and a plastic piece in the actual shifter weren't meeting correctly causing the button to stick/not fully push down.

So I had to pull the whole brown thing off trying hard not to rip the O/D wires out and just had to adjust that plastic piece so it would accept the button pushing down thingy inside.

Boy was I relieved. Also thankful that a Toyota Service rep didn't answer the phone after holding for 15 minutes

 

how much is it lifted total? how bad did you have to cut the inner fenders? can i see a pic of cut finders.

 

sig worthy or what?



Haha thanks man!

 

Yup... gonna nickname his shifter "Mandingo"

 

Had to avoid looking at it every day picturing veins running along the sides

 

never thought i would be a quote in a sig.

 

went wheeling at middle st vrain and coney flats. only took a little bit of paint off the running boards and skids. last run with the spacers before my new OME coils and shocks get here from wheelers. woo!

 

Can't be good...
I am working on removing my diffs right now. I went to drain the rear diff and the fluid was really dark and there's a very thick, silver colored 'paste' on the surface of the diff drainage plug. I assume this is metal particles. Anyone know what's going on?

 

Nice. Was up there a couple of weeks ago. Here's my brutally long post about it:

In that second pic of yours, there was a broken down Land Cruiser shoved off to the right (as you're headed down) just beyond that obstacle. So where you, and I, would go around that rock (pictured in your post), I had to go over it/around it to the left. I was so pissed a dumbass would leave their truck in the worst spot possible. If I wasn't in a rush to get down I would have dragged the truck about 15 feet down the trail.

 

yeah. i saw that. luckily there was only the stripped down isuzu at the beginning of the trail. that would be a pain if that cruiser was there. still fun never the less though i'm sure.

 

Is it paste? Or shavings. Should be able to tell the difference. It could be antiseize.

 

Absolutely.

One of my favorite places to go camp.
