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

Relocated my turn signals for my new bumper and added some aluminum for a little radiator protection.

Also picked up a set of lightforce 140's and am playing around with where to mount them. What do yall think looks better?

Mine too but i Think i hear a clunk every now and then but idk for sure, cant hear shit went you run your taco with no muffler dumped lol

 

If there's no play in the joint than I wouldn't worry about it. Why replace something that isn't broken. A little grease coming from the boot isn't a big deal.

 

Changed burnt out #74 grain bulbs behind the heater control,,,jeeez. DON"T PUSH HARD ON THOSE BULBS,,or the little pigtail socket will pop out of the heater control area,,and then good luck getting them back in. I bloodied my fingers jamming them into the linkage inside trying to pop that socket back into place so I could push a bulb into it. Disassembled the whole console area and had to loosen the heater control to get the task done.. A few minute job turned into about 2 hrs of fussing with it.

Ordered a new A/C switch because the button on the oem shattered. $33 for that switch. Ironic,,it's 33° outside, but it needed to be fixed. When the little cover button shatters out, you get blinded at night when that sucker is lit.

Oil change, rotate, grease lube, gear lubes, and dogged out the interior.

192,000 on the OEM rear brake shoes,,still look like new. amazing.

 

some progress.

 

Sick!!^^^


Got my dash put back together officially!!

 

got ride height figured out in my SAS project

 

Nice!!!!

 

how is everyone making the cage go through the cab but sealing it up so it doesn't leak?

 

Same here. One even started oozing right after replacement... No big deal though.

 

Solid body mounts and the tubes will be plated to the cab.

 

Got a front end alignment after yesterdays lift. I haz an inch of bro lean

 

ah. i will be following along!

 

Sighhh fail...they don't even match:

 

haha were you painting one?

 

I bought them in eBay.

 

Got my extended brake lines in from Marlin Crawlers today gonna install them tomorrow.

 

How much?

 

youd be amazed at the variants paints can have depending on what color they painted before that one and if they cleaned out the lines well etc...it will drive you mad esp golds when youre trying to do a repair lol
