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

just ordered myself new tie rods ball joints and the R&P bushings and the control arm bushings

 

Went and picked my truck up from Mr. Transmission today; read nothing but good things about that particular shop before I took it there. $2650 to have the transmission redone and the owner told me to bring it back every year for free service on it for as long as I own the truck. It seems to shift better but only time will tell; glad to get my truck back! You don't realize how much you miss it until it's gone.

 

Yup! Traded stock bumper + cash

 

I see you had the A340F blues, I ended up getting a used one for about a grand (at least it had a warranty) Its holding up well so far , these autos are very expensive

 

I got tired of sitting in my room after an hour so I went and extended my keyless entry antenna. Gave me some extra distance, not as much as I'd like but still better.

 

Are the a340f trannys bad?

 

Ya know its hard to answer that, info I've gotten is they're tuff/reliable but you have to service them religiously or they go to shit, I've had autos in the past that i've never serviced & drove for years problem free...so..

 

Should have got the 5 speed...

 

For the prices I was getting for a rebuild I seriously considered doing the conversion (up to $3400 for rebuild)

 

Nice and clean engine bay

 

Should have done it. I can't stand an Auto. I end up slamming on the breaks and punching the dash lololol

 

Went out and tested out the new set up in the rear, it rides very smooth

 

Couple of weekends ago. Welded. Big thanks to TRD 09! (signal mod on to do list!)

 

Cut the lightbar off my TG bumper so that my new HIDs I got from Taco-me-Elmo would fit.

Needed to fab up some new mounts for them so I whipped up this little peice to mount the lights. Worked out well.










Oh.....and I finished building a bedrack for someone on here.

 

Both of my factory points up front are bent, and the plate in the bottom of frame where the holes are is pulled out and bent.

The stock recovery points are okay for light recovery, nothing major though.

And it sucks because my 4xinnovations bumper doesn't have any recovery points so I am in a search to figure out what to rig up in the front.

 

Should have went with a plate bumper

 

Haha...

I guess it's never too late. But I like my 4xi bumper. It's unique

 

Haha nah your bumper looks good with your truck! Especially with your paint color.

 

switched out the casings instead of just the lenses and it looks alot better

before with just the lenses on the old casings

 

Thanks! the pic makes it look much cleaner then it is!
