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

Thanks! I went with 883s hoping that the stiffer ride will entice me to buy a front bumper sooner than I should haha.

 

Got some new Duratracs installed today. Much better!

 

Got these in the mail today from sockmonkey!



So awesome I went in the house to get my phone, came back out and the decals got me some pussy

 

found out that my CV boot is beginning to fail.
faak. but autozone had them new for $63

 

Mounted Hellas behind the grill yesterday. pics as promised...





heres a pic of the bracket. I'm thinking of trying something else to get the lights a little further from the cooling lines in front of the radiator there (forgive my lack of proper terminology) also, they sit maybe a half inch to an inch low, so I want to fix that as well later on. but this is good for now. I can now get rid of the POS bull bar

 

Lol those are the AC lines.

 

^^ What he said!

 

I want a bed rack

 

Just replaced transmission fluid with Valvoline

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 synthetic... now good for another 30,000 miles!

 

build one

 

Put up some led lights in that camper shell that i can turn on and off with a switch in the shell. Had to order another switch because i fried the first one experimenting with it.


I had an extra license plate light so i threw that up thier too.

 

Trip meter got jokes haha

 

Ordered some amsteel for my truck finally.

 

Thanks Sockmonkey!

 

Installed the new front diff. 4.56 gears and ARB locker.



Also, these showed up in the mail:

 

Put this on today. More pictures in my build.

 

Removed those cheap looking 98-00 rubber/chrome fender trim pieces today. Had about 13 years worth of mud and grime under them (see picture below), so I cleaned that up too. No pics yet though, was too dark. Also, for anyone interested, you can remove them with a phillips head screwdriver, but unless you have a real short screwdriver, it's hard to remove the ones on the bottom because the tire is in the way. So it's alot easier to use a 10mm socket wrench. On the front fenders, there is one clip on each side that holds the dust shields in place, so I just carefully removed those with some pliers (gotta be careful not to break it) and put them back in after I got the trim piece/"flare" off. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow if I have time to wash it.

 

wow any rust?
