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

Note to self, wear goggles NOT glasses when working with break fluid.

 

Now I only wear googles instead of safety glasses most of the time. And battery acid is a mother fucker in your eye btw. To me safety glasses are pointless unless they tuck up to you face, to many times I've had stuff hit my eye lids or under my glasses.

 

Not sure what texture you want but herculiner is very rough, if that's what you want, otherwise i would go with something else. I used some leftover on my tailgate as a test with no prep, dirty, its actually held up well, so i can see that it would do well with the proper prep.

Before i wore glasses i was religious about wearing them, but its a bitch to west them over, I've decided i need to buy a pair of prescription safety glasses. I work in a fab shop and never had a problem, little bits here and there but somehow a drop decided to go horizontal and vertical, weird.

 

Already bought goggles

 

I keep my door hinges and lock mech lubed up with a little Teflon lubricant spray and never have a problem with anything freezing up or hanging up.

 

I've had mine for about a year, far as I can tell still as bright. The Ultras like clock work would die after a year. So I'm waiting to see if these last longer.

 

I'm from western Ma. Go to school in maine so I run rt. 2 a lot through the year and 295 and 495.

 

Now we can stock you....

 

YES I love stalkers....

 

Sure, I'll take some tonight

 

Thanks for all the helpful tips guys! I've still got my free sample of fluid film lying around. I've just gotta go get some de-icer now. Hopefully it'll solve the issue.

 

Thanks man!

 

New spark plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, cleaned throttle body. Running strong again.

 

What wires did you get? How mucj and from where if you dont mind me asking ha

 

i bought denso wires from ROCK auto for cheaper than you can get them locally for autozones brand

 

Painted Trd1028's front and rear bumpers. Also painted the grille to match the bumpers. About all you can do with a 5 lugger

 

I've been considering painting my bumper too because I'm getting tired of keeping armorall on it even though I get all I want for free lol. What did you use? I have heard of people having good results with regular paint but I was thinking about using vinyl and trim dye out of a spray can.

 

NGK TE66 from Amazon. $31 for set with free shipping.

 

Both ways work great.
