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

Lol gotcha.

S if I came I can take a ride with you on the other?? Damn

 

For sure man.

 

Hey Chad, how are your rear springs holding up ??

 

Well somebody is next week. Ordered along with 33x12.50 MTR w/kevlar.

 

Just roll without it!

It's what all the cool kids do. jk, mine is a tiny bit loose, so I keep it in the cab- so I don't lose it. I might zip tie it someday

 

Yeah forget that trim piece. Shed weight and gain some HP at the same time

 

i think my tires 285/75/16 might look way too big (is that possible) on my spacer lifted regularcab...oops. like a teenager wearing oversized basketball shoes

 

I didn't quite do all this today, but i did it recently to my 99 prerunner,

relocated and replaced the turnsignals with lexus es300 projector fog lights modified with clear lenses from my buddies STI. the turnsignals are now where the running lights used to be. Also painted all the chrome.



I also installed the oem fender flares.

 

Those are called courtesy lights.

I don't know if they come in a clear lens and don't think I've seen it on here.

 

Pretty good! The ole Dakota springs finally settled in and leveled everything back out so I'll be pulling one and adding a Chevy leaf to them or maybe just adding the Chevy to both the Dakota leaf. Just wanna get my 3.5-4" back but I'll try it out and see what happens! & also gotta make some of the retainer clamps too sometime soon

 

i didn't even realise the differences till after i bought em. Some guy on craigslist had em up for $20.

 

I thought the same thing. I took my lenses off and sprayed them with some VHT Niteshade. Worked great! Still light up red but are black now and matches the black and blue on the interior.

 

Haha, unlucky. That's why I keep it in the cab, until I get off my ass and figure out how to fit it snug, so it wont fall off randomly somewhere and I lose it.

You really can't tell that it's missing though! :jelly: Mine is WAY obvious

 

I sprayed my Grille and Bumper black. I just need too put everything back together

 

Friday I had the bed done with LineX.
I guess you could call it a late Xmas present to me.

 

Finally got my truck back together. Replaced valve cover gaskets and painted valve covers with a high gloss black. Now dealing with po120 code. Pulling the tranny for a rear main seal job starting tonight.... ugh.

 

Yeah I would not worry about it if it made the bumper not look like a big ole' hunk of plastic! I'm never going to be able to afford to get an actual cool bumper for her and don't really need one so I gotta keep this one :/

 

That seems like a lot of work just to deal with a po120 code.

 

whatd ya pay $$$?
