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

dipped the front grill and the chrome bumper pieces

 

Cut this out today. I had originally used an old clock face. It began cracking so I cut this on the waterjet. Works great for the rocker switches I use.

 

That is sweet... Nice job. I'm gonna do something here one of these days.

 

Need some opinions on some ideas for my grille/emblem setup... Here's just a couple ideas. What do you think? Let me know if you have any other ideas specific to my setup Thanks!

This was my initial idea that I liked, but still not sure


This resembles that old FJ TOYOTA emblem


Oh! And the Grillcraft emblem in the bottom right will come off

 

Reid, I'm diggin' the smaller emblem.

 

Thanks man! That was my original plan, but I'm open to see what other possibilities are out there

If I went the smaller route, paint white? black?

 

I've got that ARB strap, it's nice. Rolls up great and tucks behind my rear seats well.

Today i replaced both of my blown CV's with CVJ Reman'd axles. (www.cvjremans.com) No more clicking or popping!






And no, that's not rust. It's iron range dirt. Iron range dirt that never goes away.

On top of that, did an oil change. Yay.

Not sure how the face got up there...

 

y u mad bro?

 

I'm on TW on my phone and somebody called me right as I was finishing the post so idk what happened

 

LOL all good bruh...

I like your new headlights they make our trucks look so much better than that crappy ass cloudy stock ones

 

quickly built a bike mount.... less then 6 bux and 40 mins (including trip to get lumber)

 

Awesome thanks!

X3. Love your truck man

 

Thanks fellas! Now to find the right badge (not too big, not too small)

juuuuuusssstt riiiight

 

Finally picked up my bumper filler peice I lost on New Years eve and put it on...maybe this one will stay on.

 

Replaced both O2 sensors a couple days ago, no more CEL!!

Put in some cheap seat covers from Walmart--sticking with the black/silver combo

Today I took a ride up the hill and found traces of snow and a lot of rock slides covering the road. Got out to move some rocks out of the way and my dog kept bringing them back.

 

All I can say was that today..I burned alot of gas.

Its also quite irritating...this is my second week of my new job..driving to town 7 miles on the freeway then hardly any distance thru town. Its just getting the most terrible gas mileage I have ever seen it do. Im really wondering why?

Ive been so caught up in my new job that I haven't been able to do anything for my dearest taco My motivation is out the window.

Ever since I put a camper shell on it I feel like its an old man truck if it had new wheels and tires it would look bad ass as ever but..no $$$ for that quite yet. Its made me kind of depressed as retarded as that sounds. Its for my dogs though. It smells like musty shit and its making my truck stink too no matter how much I air it out. I hate that.

Tomorrow I will be driving almost 300 miles in it...Lets hope she doesnt break down 80 miles into the trip this time.

After this trip I think I want to take off the camper shell until summer time, or until the next time we go to Nevada....Its such a pain in the ass though. And...I don't know where to even put it.

 

I drove 60 miles 1 way to work everyday and get 20 mpg
