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

Derped the front and rear bumpers, ready for Dakars and Nitrocharger sports to go on tomorrow.





Still need another coat.. sometimes there's just not enough derp

 

At $8 a can... ya haha good job on the herped da derp your truck is looking good

 

Is yours a TRD? Mine's not. I heard that the TRDs have the same gear ratio as 4wds and non-TRDs have like 3.91s or something?

 

If u don't know what ur gears are look in ur door jam by the vin number for a code mine is BO3A I have 4.10s

 

Oh cool. You chose a bad name though, there was a mentally challenged guy that used to be here with the same name and everyone made fun of him

 

I do, I thought all prerunners in '02 were TRD. Yours is a 6 lug?

 

Lmao

 

No pics of the truck, but I did drive over to the left coast of Florida to meet up with my cousin who I haven't seen in 20 years...it was about time! I drove over this morning and back this evening (about 3 hours each way)...that was fun! But at least I got to stop at Trader Joe's on my way back...sadly we don't have one near us on the east coast I did end up getting about 18mpg on the way over there...not too bad...don't know whether it was the highway miles (going about 68-70) or the deckplate mod or both that contributed to that...been getting closer to 16 lately.

Here's a shot I took at beautiful Sanibel Beach though:

Dropped off my truck today to get my valve lash checked. Everything came back within specs. My engine has 165,xxx miles on it and he made special notice to tell me how clean everything was once he took off the valve cover gasket.

 

We used to vacation at Sanibel when I was younger. Haven't been in 10 years at least. Miss that place

 

There's an axle seal that supposed to be replaced every time you pull the cv one of mine went bad, just make sure you order TW correct side and size.

 

What!! Lies!!!!!!!

Get my tires off your truck!!

 

Take those front mud flaps off and you should be good to go!

 

time for a Boulder Tubing party...? And no i dont mean we all have a party in your tub!

 

Those are my 35s!!!

Majik would never cut anything on his own truck

 

Wheel Spacers aint gonna cut it, I had the same idea you do (pretty close) and it takes a lot of cutting, and those tires will rub the frame regardless of how much you cut so be wary

 

I am 4wd and have those shitty 3.91's
With that being said, on the stock tires that were around 28", I was averaging 20.5 mpg

I wish a set of 4.10s would appear in my differentials.

 

Guys...seriously..he is kidding haha

They are mine. 45acp just dropped em off at Malik's to store for me to pick up lol


But by all means keep giving him advice
