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

All kidding aside...I got similar results with the 3m kit last year. Now it's been about a year and I've been negligent about waxing them, so they're fogging over once again. That's why I'm thinking a clear coat over them will be prudent this time around. My brother has been experimenting with the coating that's made for keeping chips off of the front end of your vehicle paint...will see how his results wear over time.

 

Cleaned the underside of my truck again after replacing the oil filter housing o ring and gasket. Changed the rear diff and transfer case fluid as well as the motor oil. Installed a magnetic oil drain plug.

 

Got a package in the mail while ago

 

14" or 18"?

 

14"

 

Put a video up when you get it on. They have a 18" at my local advance auto for $89 and I'm trying to decide if I wanna pick it up

 

Alright man I will. In the mean time look up "tacoma with magnaflow" or "monte climb" (not sure exactly on the last one) on YouTube. It's a video of monte's truck with the same muffler mudding. It's pre-roll though so the pretty gray body haha
Edith and I got mine for 80 on Amazon with free shipping for what it's worth

 

Yeah I've seen it and many others lol. I'd pay $9 more to not have to wait for shipping though. We'll see.

 

Yeah I would too if I were you haha. I'm not patient at all. I ordered it like Thursday or Wednesday last week.. But anyway I don't have a YouTube account so not real sure how I'll post a video, but either way I'll for sure let you know and give you the best description I can. Monte sold me on it

 

Just got some LED rock lights that were made by a member. Going to run the length of the cab. Going to hook it up to a switch, pictures later when i install them. Also need to install the arb fridge\freezer wiring loom. Also have a local member making me a bed rack for my rtt. Should be completed soon.

 

Changed the oil/filter (switched to M1 synthetic)...just got the truck about a month ago and didn't want to wait any longer. Last week I had the spare tire lift plate replaced (recall) , "blacked" out the muffler with some high temp flat black paint and had a class III curt hitch installed

 

what r u up to now????

 

The bolt heads being all shiny against my black line-x was bugging me.

So I gun blue'd the heads and then clear coated them

 

what do those hold on?

 

A backing plate behind the bed rail. Which will then hold a bed rack.

Hey - I picked up seat heater switches and wire loom out of a 98 Forester. I'm going to call a guy in Boulder who can tell me if that's cool with my seats.

Then it's hook up time... which means I'll be picking your brain as to how you ran power to the switches, relays, etc..

I still have to paint it/finish it then mount the quick fists but here it is

 

Did you do your toes at the same time?

 

lol thats funny right there

 

Single father of a 6 year old girl.

I have no shame in admitting that my fingernails have been painted and polished before

 

Stumbled upon this today on the way to the dealership
