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

Typical Toyota, I've replaced more radiators cause of the same crack in the same exact spot more than any other vehicle... Crummy design

 

Just a leveling kit. 3 inch in front, 1 inch in rear. I can't remember the brand. I put it on like 7 years ago.

 

Replaced my Power Steering high pressure hose gasket. It stopped the leak at the hose now seeping again from the reservoir. Looking at the Trail Gear kit.

 

rolled over 277,000 miles...

 

Uploaded 2 measly photos today haha

Only did all 4 shocks, bpv and extended brakeline. No aals or leaf packs today





Again, big thanks to all who helped- also Manwithoutaplan for the use of his house and tools

 

sorry i got off before i realized you replied, but yeah what he said.. lol its pretty sexy if i must say so myself... i want one in the long run... but $750 is a little steep for me right now... down the road ill have one for sure

 

Yeah I want one too, haha. Although I barely have $750 bucks to my name at the moment...lol. A few guys up here are buying sliders/bumpers from him together to save on shipping in a few months. I wish I could get on that but I need suspension first...

 

so does anybody know where i can get the TRD headers for the 5VZ? im itching to get it but toyota discontinued them... i believe part number is
PTR10-89990-18

 

Check around with some of your local fab guys (if you have any). I sent that build thread to one of mine and he said he will make the same bumper for $300. He does quality work too, mostly jeep stuff though.

 

Good luck man. Almost impossible to find.

 

finished up another bedrack for a TW member over the weekend. This one is the standard rack with hilift mount, and brackets for shovel and axe.

 

Added on a spindle to my bumper just about done with carrier. I still cant figure out how to latch it... Without spending $50 on a latch or using pins that rattle.

 

nice Adam. Where did you get those shovel and axle Brackets if i may ask?

 

whatever you do..buy a NICE latch and get it setup right! mine isn't setup right so it rattles and its annoying as hell.

 

looks good! Id ask how much but I dont have any money anyways lol

 

Man I'd love a bed rack like that and am always contemplating it. But then I always come back to the same thought: what do I really need one for? To carry a shovel and axe? Seems like overkill. I keep thinking about what I would store/strap to the top of the bed rack and I draw a blank. Everything I wheel with fits nicely in my bed in one single layer.

Help me think of shit to put on a bed rack so I can toy with the idea longer

 

R..T..T..


your welcome haha

 

Yeah I was talking to my 4-wheeling buddy about this yesterday... he's probably going to get an offroad trailer/camper.

Down the road when I'm older and shit I'll probably go way of the RTT.

Until then I prefer setting up a tent.

 

Im thinking maybe a catchbolt. but i dont want to spend the $$$

 

You've already got a solid waterproof tent in your camper. To get your fix for wanting to build something, build a sleeping platform that you can organize your gear under. I want to make one with organizing slots in front and behind the wheels wells and drawers. Then sleep in your topper and keep your junk in there, locked up and dry.
