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

I have one posted up in the "free stuff to give away" thread.

I don't want it, but I also don't want to ship it.

 

Ya I saw yours and yours does match with all the black. I would rather just not have a bug shield but I'll have to start making a 200 mile drive every 2 or so weeks starting in a month, so thought it would be handy, but don't like the black

 

Well darn... I can send some moneys if that would persuade you? haha it's alright I'll try to find someone in the area

 

Purple Powered the hell out of the underside of my truck.. Can't see it too well but it looks wayyy better.
Before: (sorry it was at night and not from the same angle)

 

I couldn't even imagine what it would take to ship it

 

Wooden dowels and lots of bubble wrap I presume haha and probably the price of a just buying a new one. Maybe just wrangle up 10-20 pigeons, train them to have a sense of direction of my location, strap it too their feet, and let them to do the rest.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure they'd charge for dimensional weight at that point.

I could just toss it in the Rio Grande and give you the heads up

 

Sounds good I'll be looking for it

 

I crawled around under my truck to see if I had any leaks at all...I do. And I think I've decided I do need the brake line relocation bracket...

That is your ebrake cable. The brake lines are just above that

 

Looks like your pinion seals leaking

 

Decided to take real look at my spare tire and realized it's better than my other tires.. Old owner put on Milestar radial something 31*10.5 (currently running) and I guess the tires before that were goodyear wrangler gs-a 31*10.5. I wish I had three more of these tires.

 

Ill trace ya my rugged fail. Vent your diff please

 

Mine isn't vented either and this happened ....

 

Isn't that the vent on the upper left of the diff?

 

That it is.

 

So today I tightened my alt. belt on the engine (all I was originally going to do), then cleaned and degreased my engine bay, and underneath, and then took of my bedliner and cleaned it

The debree in the bed filled up 2 1/2 5 gallon buckets of shit



Cleaned, lot of paint rubbed off and a couple rust spots



Painted with some rust stopper



Tacoma-3
Parker-0

 

Cleaned the dirt and gunk out of the inside of the tailgate. Was surprised at the amount of dirt that had accumulated in there.

 

Looking good man ! Way better than the plastic bed liner

 

Did the steering shaft weld DIY, literally made no difference to me at all. Oh well...
