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

A pillars, oh shit handles (3) and glove box off... paint curing as we speak.

Everything except the main dash panel, carpet, seats and rear view mirror assembly will be black. Pretty sure my Dad is going to buy me new seats for my birthday, so that will be black and maybe next month I will be replacing my carpet. Awaiting two swatch samples to see if I want to go with a graphite carpet or charcoal.

Edit: and the steering wheel. But I think I'm going to get a wheelskin and dye any of the exposed parts. Eventually I'd love to do the Supra GT steering wheel swap.

 

Not today but over the weekend I derped my rocker panels and my hood

 

Ordered my OME lift!

 

My Coilovers are taking foreeeverrr to get here!!

 

01 Tacoma,.... Yes, I am working on carpet... You can't see but i have the truck on jack stands behing the drum and I have my garaged lined in carpet makes working on the cars so much better and more comfy! My floor jack has no issue at all rolling on the carpet if thats what your wondering... I love the carpet and if it gets dirty all you have to do is vacuum it...

 

Refinished headlights

After

 

What did you use? Looks brand new!

 

They sell cleaning/refurbishing kits at Any NAPA and or Auto places, as long as you have a screw gun etc. it's easy - i did mine last weekend.

 

I'm liking this.. its different and just a few minutes ago i was thinking about doing the hood of the 4r


And remember me selling my tacoma? The kid that bought it hit a deer, i found it setting at the body shop front clip all busted...

 

I've used the mothers brand before and it didnt turn out that clear

 

i pumped my right rear tire for the millionth time since i got a side wall puncture :/

i keep looking for another set of new take offs for what i paid for these(125$ for all 4 tires, rims and center caps)

 

Thanks man, Do the hood I love the look and no glare

 

Have you ever tried the tire slime stuff that seals leaks in tires? I've had it work for me once. I didn't use that tire for very long so I don't know the longevity of the bandaid though...

 

I had them in my 3" lifted 2001 ram quad cab 4x4, they killed my fuel mileage went from 14-15 to 9-10 mpg. The rolling resistance was so great that I could sit at a traffic light/stop sign with my foot off the brake in gear and my truck would stay! Ha-ha

 

yes but the puncture is on the sidewall...i was just on craigslist and there is a factory take off spare wth no miles on it for 30$ im waiting to hear back from the guy. hes about 30 mins away.

 

I have already noticed the mpg decline lol. I wanted to go bigger and am going to pay for it lol. I havent filled up since installing them Saturday, but will need to very soon.

 

Interesting.. The working I do would have the carpet destroyed in now time!

 

I like it, but i think having both done is too much for me. I would choose one or the other imo. But good work otherwise!

 

Yesterday

 

put some HID head lights in about 20 mins ago
