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

....

 

I should say...removing the 4 bolts holding the LBJ to the spindle.

 

Did you try and get a pipe to extend the handle on the rachet to get more leverage thats what i had to do to get the castle nut off the the ball joint then to remove the balljoint from the UCA put a jack under the LCA and jack it up to before it starts to rise off your jackstand than heat that motherfucker for a good few minutes then drop the jack and it should pop out! but i mean realistically when i installed my C/O's i didnt have to take the UCA off.


Oh and on another not i installed my Uniden 520xl in the ash tray i couldnt get it flush cause i didnt have a heating source other than a lighter but it only sticks out about 1/2 an inch and i installed my 4ft firestik in the hood channel.

 

Pics please

 

Wow that's a lot. I got quoted for the same lift $310 with taxes.

 

this is the only pic i have so far, should have taken some while i was installing but i just wanted to get it done!

 

What did you need the heat for?

 

just finished installing a train horn pics up later

 

there's a plastic ac/heat duct that you can shape to let the CB sit flush.

 

Gotcha. I've been thinking of installing my 510xl in the same spot. This info will be very useful. Thanks.

 

Its a pretty simple install and is hands down the best spot for a CB in our trucks unless you have a Cobra 75!

 

Drove to get some cold beer, my dew and some powerball tickets. lol

 

ITS ALIVE! first time iv benn home and driven it in 2 months. Time to go snow wheeling.

 

Got my Hella 700ff's Mounted and wired up

 

For those buying K&N brand/type of filters: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/air-filtration-test/

Lifted the rear of Buzzard1992's truck.

Parked with higherlux before the Mini meet.


Did some retro stripes on my hood.

 

i started a new fad with those stripes..haha

wish i still had mine..looks good.

 

Man, I remember trying to remove them from my "80 pickup. They started peeling and then didn't want to come off.

 

I have a reman rack and pinion in my truck with over a year on it now. No issues. Toyota wants like $800 for a new one.
