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

Now that is a clean roof rack!

 

Got a lil red on ur wheels

 

Tailgate has one tiny dent, smaller then a dime. Plasti dipped badges and the bumper is rhino lined black if you're interested. I could send you pictures tomorrow.

 

Thanks man!

huh? The "TRD" is a sticker from Sock.

 

Lol I don't even notice mine squeaking anymore but I still need to change it because everytime someone new rides in my truck, that is the first thing they ask. I tune it out so well that they usually have to tell me when it squeaks so that I can listen for it and tell them what it is that's making the noise haha.

 

I can't c it that good on my phone it just looks like red blob sorry

 

Fail..haha

 

hah no worries, I was staring at the pictures trying to figure out if I had some overspray

 

Lol sorry if I worried ya.

 

Haha i couldnt tune it out

 

Are those wheels painted? Cuz i never seen them gunmetal color. Plus if u did paint them how did u get it so clean and smooth

 

Yes they are painted. Here's the link to my build thread, I describe my process a few posts down from the original post.

Basically just sanding and taking my time. Once you do it right the first time, touch ups are easy

Sweet thanks they turned out great

 

Fixed a squeaky clutch pedal with a bronze bearing. Thanks Tacomaki.

 

I thought about trying the brass bearing

 

much appreciated

 

Simple job, 12 mm wrench, hack saw, file and a $2.50 bearing. Would have taken less then 45 min, but dropped one of the cylinder nuts and had to spend 45 min fishing it back up.

 

I don't know what to do here. My transmission skid is 3/8" from clearing the transfer case. I'm tempted to use a 3/8" thick washer at the trans cross member and extend the plate past the transfer case. I would have to cut some weight somehow. Maybe make it narrower. I've had a lot of people wanting transfer protection, but I don't have time to make a skid row type deal.

Camera angle sucks but I measured it...

 

Struts and ball joints. End links next or ditch them and leave the bar

 

With that code get a new MAF and if will run even better
