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

I drove mine

 

I'm working on my tag mounts today[/QUOTE]

Looks good man. Thanks

 

Haha nope, that was somebody else

 

I'll just leave this here....

 

after driving 4609 miles to Moab and back with the steering wheel pointing towards 11 o'clock and pulling to the left. That made Kansas soooo much better...

 

Kansas is the shit, no hipsters here lol

 

No, you should get back to cranking out those skids! Haha

 

I'm planning on spending a day on some maintenance next week before my long voyage back to school and am determining what all to do. I've determined I should change oil, plugs, air filter, coolant, and probably rotate the tires. I'm at about 92,000 miles. One other thing on the maintenance schedule is to check valve clearance. I haven't done this before on my truck and the procedure in the FSM looks like kinda a bitch. I'm not necessarily afraid to try it, but if it isn't necessary I wouldn't mind skipping it haha. How important is it on a modern vehicle? I feel like if something were off enough to make a difference I'd have some of the symptoms of bad valve adjustments. Is this something you guys think should be regularly checked regardless? Or is it one of those things that's kinda overkill and probably wouldn't be necessary unless some problem I'm having is a symptom of valve clearance being off?

 

Yeah as I'm reading on other stuff I find online all things are pointing to checking them. The biggest PITA I see is that they have shims on them to adjust clearance? That seems stupid as hell even my lawn mowers have a set screw to turn in or out rather than having to go find shims...

 

So i was trying to find the thread..but i thought i read somewhere that you shouldn't perform the deckplate mod if you are supercharged? This true?

 

Sanded the rims down and got them looking a lot better couldn't be happier with the way they look

 

URD kit as in the 7th injector stuffs?

 

Ahh goood goood..

Thanks jb

 

went to town on the front end. Replaced inner and outer tie rods on both sides. Replaced busted cv with a brand spankin' new one (free too cause i had the lifetime warranty on a napa one). Then installed my spider trax spacers.

 

sweet!
do you still have the 255 tires? I remember looking at a few pics of your truck when I decided to get 33/10.5/15 tires and am interested to see how they look with wheel spacers. pics?

 

Nice dude.

Looks tits

Rustoleum wheel paint, flat black?
