The 95-97 Taco Thread

Yeah i dont think he understood whatshisnames post entirely...

But yeah there are things i will do myself and things i would let a professional do. Sometimes you just dont have the tools or experience to confidently do a job. And i am more than happy to pass that job along

 

Going to look at a camper shell Wednesday!!! Black to match my black rims. It's a leer off an 02 in great condition. $500

 

Thanks for clarifying. As I mentioned at the beginning, I was asking for clarification becasue I interpreted your post as saying that the $415 was a rip off. Now I get ya.

No need to get your knickers in a twist. If you read the first line of my post I said I was asking for clarification on his comment. As for your comment on me having the knowledge or funding to have my own shop, I have a 4600 sq ft shop that is running quite well thank you. I personally have over 150k in tools, and 5 employees. I also have been an ASE Master Certified Tech for 20 years, and used to be an instructor for GM training their techs. Yeah, I know what I am doing. We dont just read out of books. We take knowledge and experience and apply it. ANYONE can read a book. It takes a Technician who understands how it works sometimes to find the tough problems.

So kindly remove your foot from your own mouth as it seems YOU do not know what you are talking about and had no need to jump down my neck. I do get the point of people wanting to wrench on their own. I support and applaud that as you would tell if you looked up most of my posts. My question was clear and HE knew exactly what I was talking about.

 

I enjoy your signature, little distracting while reading your post's IMO haha

And this is a community, lets not all get mad at eachother...

Or when the apocalypse happens i will eat you

 

When the apocalypse comes I will be safe in my underground bunker, far from ravenous Tacoma teeth!

 

Been off TW for a while and just saw the thread. Heres my 97 ext cab. 4wd, 5spd. , 3rz-fe (2.7L). 251,769 miles!

 

my bad, heres a pic.

 

Would a black camper look dumb on my evergreen taco? I have black wheels too so it would kinda match

 

Threw some new wheels and tires on it the other day.

 

Naw just paint da hood black, or the cab black. Make dat shiz customz
Maybe even primer your door and get each fender flare a different color, That'd be hood


In all seriousness put that in the photoshop request thread, get a good pic of your truck.

 

LOL at first I was like...uhh...not sure if srs

But thanks will do!

 

Looks good What did you use on the rocker panels?

Looks way better!

 

Is that stock??? I wish my taco would flex like that :/ Welcome!

Anyone here belive the whole thing on December 21st?

 

Duplicolor Bed Armor. Sanded it down to bare metal and did 3 coats.

 

can i haz your front bumper?

 

NO! Lol that was the longest week ever. I had to build that sucker within a week everyday after work. Totally worth it tho.

 

do you have any diagrams you could post?

 

Unfortunately no, my bumper is a relentless one that I just happened to build myself. I am however working on a design for firstgens(and possibly second gens soon) for a front for a guy on here and then some rears and such.

I hope to build some a slow pace during school and my xmas break with a friend and possibly sell them to ppl locally and here for a lower cost. Mostly a lower cost due to the time it would take for a bumper while im at school (im at school as I type this) and to save other students money because I know how hard it is to buy things when your low on cash.

 

I just found camburg coilovers and a pair of uniball uca's for $500

 

Damn, i'd buy that just because of the price lol buy it then turn around and sell it
