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

Just cut it off

 

Ima leave the UGA decal alone cuz they don't bother me but that Falcons one has to go. Is Aaron Murray goin to be able to win a big game finally or what

 

University of Georgia was the decal

 

Ah..

Still don't care haha

 

Who does lol

 

I'm going to, just don't have the tools with me. That's why I was asking if it would be ok for a day or two?

Until I can get to my tools

 

Run the the nearest store..buy hacksaw

Done

 

What's with all the dangley bits?

 

Shouldn't be a big deal. Both of my pipes rest right under where the leafs are attached to the shackles

 

Thanks they are re-centered Humvee beadlocks from Trailworthy fab.

 

all the lights wiring, e-brake lines and stuff. I had to get the box on quickly to move it to my new shop. It is not drivable in many ways now.

 

You're right, moving them wont do shit right now haha. It will make me feel better though since it's farther from bottoming out but it doesn't matter because with the stock shackles I can't get anymore droop and with the overloads I can't stuff any farther. That will change a lot when I do shackles, creeper joint hangers, bumpstops, and remove the overloads.

 

From what I have seen, its not Aaron Murrays fault completely. Its mostly dropped passes and such. I recall the sec championship game 2 years ago with uga and lsu. Tavaras King dropped 2 passes that were in his hands in stride that would have been 6. And the defense dropped the ball. But its football and the qb always gets blamed. Matt Ryan is the one that cant take the heat.

 

Either get the OME exhaust bracket or cut your tailpipe. You can see both in my build thread.

 

I was rooting for Georgia against Bama in the SEC championship game

 

-Got an alignment
-Was notified that my passenger side cam adjuster bolts were stripped (long story involving a shitty alignment experience in the past), quote $520 for parts plus labor+Alignment
-Left town for a week
-While out of town, bought Cam's for ~$100, didn't order bolts (oops)
-Tried to PB Blaster, hammer, pull, press out the old cams but they're seized beyond belief.
-Didn't have time to wait for more parts, saw-zall out the old, press out the remainder and install 'new' before driving 500 miles the next morning.
-Got some 1/2"x20x5" bolts, 7/8 - 9/16 - 1/2" washers and rigged them up to provide enough clamping force to hold that damn LCA in place.
-Got another alignment that could only be 'close' according to the techs (it was 5pm on Friday, i didn't push for perfect)
-Ordering a new LCA+bolts then cutting out the old and installing the new then... ANOTHER ALIGNMENT! Dealing with a slight pull and shake until then.

And while doing this I pulled the Drivers side hub+UCA and dropped it off at a local shop to get the old bearing pressed out and the new OEM Toyota bearing+all associated parts installed.

All without 1/2 the tools i usually have in my garage at home and no second set of hands. Phew. That was a long two days.

 

this morning at the beach

 

Hmmm... well yesterday I plasti-dipped my front emblem! Tomorrow i plan on plasti-dipping the rest of my emblems/badges. One of these days im also gonna get to swapping the blinkers w/ the running lights. BTW this will be my first post on TacoWorld, hopefully there will be many more stories of mods to come!
