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

x2

 

Thanks for the welcomes guys!! lol

 

buying this within the next couple weeks.. trying to figure out what to do to it first!!! open to anything!!!

 

Nice How many miles does it have?

 

260k but all regular maintenance has been done and it is clean ive driven it and gave it a full look over..

 

Is it 4x4? And what's your budget?

 

2wd and my budget is limited.. but i want to get a decent suspension set up but that will be stuff i can save for... my main focus for the first stuff is things at a decent price i can do right away.. but my first thing i wanna get is a new bumper.. prerunner style
not the bulky rock crawler style.. tubes and a skid plate is what i want.

 

Met up with Mach5 and traded the campershell I was selling for his toolbox, he had just what I was looking for. Installing the CB today and trying to figure out where to run the coax cable out of the cab...

 

Today's mission is to replace the serpentine belt and its about time! Original belt with 85K miles on the '07 4.0 And install the Weathertech mud flaps after BluTaco gets a bath and a good vacuum!

Thanks for the thread on installing the belt, its not that I haven't done it before on other vehicles like a Nissan Maxima which was easy cheesy AFTER I figured out removing the right front wheel and splash guard allowed access to the pulleys and tensioner.

Eibach or EMU 882's with 5100's all the way around with a aal in the rear. Trail Gear bumpers and sliders are great for budget builds plus they're great products. I'm a 2wd with emu 882's with 5100's and I love the stance and height of the truck.

 

Starting the put the sliders on Meatman's truck.

 

What setup are you running in the rear?

 

Aal and a 1" block for not. But digging the block in a few weeks for shackles.

 

Belt in, plulled TRD CAI air filter, washed it, checked plugs or right side OK , looked for dropped parts, mass air flow sensor clean as a whistle, washed truck. Gonna sit for a while.

Washed, waxed, scotchguard the interior and rainX'd all the glass. Close to 60°f here in New Jersey. I can get used to this global warming... Lol. (except for SuperStorm Sandy bull$hit)

Placing my order for a full OME lift tomorrow (I hope).

My wife applying the scotchGuard

 

Sandy lives here and she can be super and or a storm. Its about 50 degrees cooler here in Iowa! Outside that is.

Wife cleaning the Taco... best mod ever. Wish I could figure that one out.

 

I have daffodils starting to shoot up out of the ground already. Only about 1.5-2 months early. I can handle that. I just live to close to the ocean to fully embrace climate change. I can shoot a bb gun and hit the bay.

 

Installed a free Yello Top. A buddy of mine works at Advance Auto Parts, they had to take it off the shelf because of low CCAs. But, it turns the Taco over like nothing and still puts out 12.6 volts.. Score!!!

 

I dont know if I figured it out yet, but Im not going to say anything. lol
