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

Horse stole my truck then emailed me these photos

 

*headlight restoration*


Where did you get the flag pole mount? And I have got to get one of those masks!

And did you lay out in the sun for 5 days straight?

 

Definitely get a mask and ill send you pics of my shenanigans I made the flag pole mount myself out of an old trampoline

Holds a cooler, tackle box, fishing poles, and two flags, ignore the hockey sticks i sent it to my canadian buddies

 

Tyler stop building things that are so eye appealing god damnit.

 

So I take it this is a dedicated wheeling rig or are you keeping the doors to throw them on if it rains?

Very clean sir!

 

Thanks guys!!! The doors are for summer and wheeling but this truck is my dd and i can put the doors back on any time because there was no cutting of the truck at all

 

After a few years of periodic issues with no air coming out of my vents. I changed the thermo switch a month ago, all was good. Yesterday it stopped working again, new fan on order. I hope this fixes it. The fan does make noise when it does work.

 

Quoted because I'm curious also.

 

Did you use quick disconnect or do you bolt and in bolt them every time?

 

that was the main thing we asked for and didn't get lol

 

sorry about that guys.



yes they bolt on but its not bad to swap them out.

 

that's a different approach, but you said you didn't have to "cut" into the body. wouldn't drilling be considered cutting? sweet though! curious how much pushing that rubber would withstand

 

I take it that you unbolt the rubber latch when you change doors? Also to make things a little easier on you, you might want to consider putting some quick pins in the hinges so that you don't have to realign the door when you swap back. You just need another set of hinges and some pins with a hole in the bottom with R-clips. The way I have my half doors setup, I can change them in about 10-15 mins., maybe quicker than that. I need to time myself one day. Check out my build thread, I think I posted a picture or two of my hinges.

 

yeah just take the self taping bolt out and plug the hole.
yes the pins would work nice and fast, the bolts that go into the door (not the cab) are self centering so as long as you leave the hinges on the truck you will not need to center your door. and with the doors bolting on they are solid.

 

NO

 

as for no cutting and such you can just mount the door latch for the tube doors to the stock latch so you dont damage the body thats what i did for my rear doors and i plan on doing for the front doors

 

I am able to pull up a voltage reading on my UG, is this not a valid reading? Since it has no battery, isn't it just reading the systems voltage?

PS- a pretty sweet little mod regardless! Southern01Taco, your writeup was bomber.

 

Oh ok. I didn't realize that the door bolts were self centering. That makes it better. I didn't take my bolts out to check because I didn't want/feel like realigning it, if they weren't self centering.

Thank you sir. I have the voltage on my UG and used it for a little while but it is not very accurate and it is slow. I had to set my refresh rate slower than I wanted because my truck threw a code. And while winching it was of no use because the UG was a second or two slower than my actions. Oh and the older UG's didn't have a voltage readout. I had one until I crushed it in the door lol.

 

I'm not sure, I looked through the list of gauges available and didn't see anything? I'll have to look again sometime.
