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

You didn't hear? RTT's have bathrooms.

 

Don't even waste your time with that stuff. Use bed liner

 

this is true, its a pain in the ass to get off

 

Derp or liner?

 

had to say bye to the tinted tail lights, went too dark and have been let off with 2 warnings for them so far, time to play it safer. Debadge, and dakars in the near future

 

That's why the window zips open!

 

just make sure you don't zip your tip

 

Alright man thanks for the heads up.

 

Up converted my hella 700ff's to 55w 6k hid:



Installation coming this weekend.

 

vaccumed 671 damn stinkbugs out of my truck today. Damn things are everywhere.

 

I finally got myself a big boy job and decided the truck needed some love,

the Power steering had been leaking for what seems like forever, so i ordered the seals for it,


it was leaking out of the top of the gear housing, so i just pulled that section and resealed it.


i had to make a special tool to remove the aluminum cap.. its like a 32mm 8 point hollow allen key....
I just bought this... a 7/8" coupling nut.. drilled out the center to 1" and ground the tips to make it fit in the 8 point section of the steering gear cap. worked perfect.


put it all back together and re-installed


I also bought a full set of Bilstein 5100 and some cheap add a leafs to go in for the time being until i can buy a better setup/leaf pack


I managed to get the fronts installed today.



I will be installing the rear shocks and leafs, I also bought a valve cover gasket set

 

Rules to live by.

 

Happens to the best of us

 

switched to premium grade gas and got 2mpg better

Observed in 3 full tanks and within .7 mpg of each other.

Long term trends are now going into my fuelly app!

 

In? IN? You can fit your bird inside a 1/2" tube? Sorry to hear man, I really am. Haha

 

Did you have issues before? May need to clean out the combustion chambers with sea foam. More than likely you have carbon build up on top of the pistons. Running premium in a regular speced engine doesn't do squat other than burn a hole in your wallet.

No matter what grade I use I get the same. I run redline fuel system cleaner every oil change. Some times if I remember I'll add some FP60 Plus to every tank of gas. It cleans an lubercates the entire fuel system.

 

Picked up the stuff to redo my badges black

 

Removed my fender flares to paint them. But with it being too windy and supposed to storm tonight, I'm just going to have to run flareless until next weekend...

 

Lifted trucks with larger tires always look better flareless, IMO

Stock trucks without flares looks like a base model and weaker, IMO

But if you're after protection, of course run with them.
