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

Oops. That sucks! We've got a lot of Leer and Leonard places around here, but no Snug Tops. Their site says the closest one to me is EUREKA, MO.
(approx. 796.58 miles) How much do they cost?

 

Ooooohhh, dude, that sucks. Your is the same as mine expect shortbed.
It caught the door above?

I am moving to a new place with a new 2-car garage, and I have never been able to garage my truck before. I so need to be careful about this.

 

trammel
or in carpentry, akin to scribe.

Nice.

 

Hopefully your rafters are higher than mine and you can actually rig a way to remove and stow your topper easily.

I'm still struggling with this.

But my garage should technically be called an oversized unfinished closet, because it's so small.

 

Hmm wonder why that is, must be something interfering it

 

I'm wondering if I can figure out a way to lift my topper in a carport...we're moving to a rental house that has one. I didn't get my dream of a garage as I had wanted.

 

I plan on building a carport primarily to store my topper, bed rack, bikes, etc

My topper has sliding windows on the sides and front.

I was planning on fabricating either a wood or metal frame that can be inserted into the topper and then extended through said three windows. At the end of those extensions I would have eye bolts.

Then I would rig up either a pulley or electric winch to lift from those eye bolts.

That way I just back my truck up under the carport, undo the clamps, insert that frame thing, lift it off and drive away.

 

Dude, you have no idea. My current one-car sheet-metal oven/meatlocker with no studs and an approach confined by walls on both sides, all in direct sun with tons of reflected heat....

well, this gives you some idea.


Versus this, assuming escrow goes without a big hitch...
(TR6 not included in house sale, dammit)

 

Put my spacer on, NO MORE TACO LEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have the same sliding windows...I'll have to see how you rig yours up when you do...and see if I can do the same...guess you're the guinea pig

 

You take the garage (I'm jealous, by the way!), and I'll take the TR6

 

That's palatial compared to mine:

 

Hauled a desk/shelving system from The Container Store that I will install in my daughter's room.

She's all grown up

 

Good for you having room for your truck...if I had a garage that size, I'd have it loaded with crap

 

You should of seen the garage when we were working on Madjik's seat conversion haha

 

1. Rock sliders installed!

2. Plan on plasti dipping the chrome on front and rear bumpers plus the trim on grille. I'm in Texas so doing anything outside past Noon is brutal! So prob gonna wait till I can get under some shade this evening to DERP my baby

 

does any one know the stock length of rear shocks (compressed and extended) and I have the extended bilsteins from toytec in the rear but cant find those sizes either? I could take mine off but without taking them off can someone link me to there specifications (sizes)

 

I'm gonna hate not having a garage after my dads shop and Tim's shop..

 

Put a 40 series on after watching some YouTube yet mine sounds nothing like them. It's all bass and Honda big can muffler sounding. Maybe cuz it's dumped? I'm gonna have my magnaflow put back on

 

Haha holy crap i forgot i still have my Magnaflow to put on, thanks for the reminder haha
