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

lol!!!! Agreed.

 

Nevahhhh!!! Hahaha

Y man! I literally had to replace mine the day before Moab haha. I have a CB drop bracket now and axle shims, my drive line is perfectly strait now. Hopefully won't have to do that ever again.

Hahahahaha ya..not my shop. But it works. Three other fans in the building too

 

Joined the SockMonkey Army today.

Tailgate is done, still have the sides to do.

 

Today during work I saw a lifted 1st gen double cab taco and got jealous...

 

Oh nothing much. Just made my biggest purchase ever for Ol' Red.

I ordered...

 

...a paper bag?

 

Sliders?

 

Fair trade, organic, free range, vegetarian fed paper is expensive, man

 

I win

That's like "Cmack" creeper man


I'm so stoked. Another TW member is proving what an insanely good community this place is and that there are extremely generous people still out there.

Along the lines of Jon, who not only gave me his great rear bumper for free (no homo), but fucking drove it to my door from Wyoming...

...milehighliving is going to pick up my BAMF sliders on Monday or Tuesday and drive them to Boulder for me. A month or so ago, he saw my thread asking about sliders, etc... and PM'd me with the proposal. I mean, what an unbelievable gesture. One I'll be sure to try and pay forward.

 

Got my ultragauge, hooked it up, P1135, ordered both Denso O2 sensors from Rockauto on the principle of "if the front one is crapping, the rear one will, and it's only $55" (139K on the truck.)

Still waiting on rear half of the exhaust - complete pre-welded catback Bosal from autopartsnetwork. It has a fedex number finally (though fedex can't track it yet, so it's probably still not shipped 6 days after ordering...grumble.)

Suppose I should go find some MAF cleaner while I'm at it. No code on that but anything to help mileage is good.

Need to fiddle with an ultragauge mount - got the basic, was pleasantly surprised to find the body clip included, thinking on the dash just below the temp gauge on the left side of the cluster - trying to figure if I have any active warning lights in that strip - the two I can read are ABS and diff lock, neither of which I have, but I can't make out the middle position of those three. Just a question of mounting it so they are covered by it (though I could still sit up and look over it) or put it lower and leave them exposed. Other option would be to make it stick up right on top of the hump just over the steering wheel, but that's a trickier mount to manage.

 

Done

 

That's awesome man!

I might be getting some soon as well. The gf offered to pay half for my bday

 

Oh we got a limited taco among us!

 

Anyone have any good alternatives to painting my bumper? The shops here are all out of Rustoleum or any brands that sound familiar.

 

Would you consider herculiner or something of that sort?

 

Don't. Wait/order online Rustoleum. You won't regret it.

 

Its for my relentless one..just to clarify lol. I actually would like to find out what allpro used to paint some of theirs. Or McGrimm. Its a nice solid dark black. Anyone know?

 

^^^or do that. Rustoleum is very good stuff, i used it and it ended up pretty darn good
