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

I have mine dumped before with a turn down.

 

DAM,

I am getting so used to putting my "Office" back together in "Short time" that I got to go "Play"...Crushing crew showed up while I was away on "Vaca" and made some nice "ramps for exploring" and re-directed our "haul road" for a nice change of scenery..

Rain clouds have moved in so "touch-up" paint work is now post-poned.

 

Haha I figured I would get that turned around on me! And that's awesome man glad to see shes still ticking.

 

Finally got around to washing it and cleaning the interior after the last wheeling trip.

Documented (quasi) carnage:

Entire underside of both sliders took a lot of deep hits.
Front passenger side bumper valence/filler took a nice hit from a rock.
First serious rock rash on front passenger wheel
Rock hit on the rear bumper (coming off an obstacle)

 

Just got back from Cozumel and added a Ron Jon Sticker from there



Also drove it for the first time after driving this thing around for 3 weeks



I gotta say. I like having my truck back! Nice being tall... and having a roof... and a sense that you wont die going over 40... Also did the toothpaste headlight restoration and it works great! + the added minty smell

 

Spotted this guy in Ness City

 

Just lubed up my shaft and decided to check the carrier bearing for wear. The whole shaft moves a good 0.75" up and down inside the bearing!

I guess it's finally time to replace the bearing, weird how I have zero vibrations.

 

Wait...wait a second...what's this?









Everyone can now GTFO!

 

Did you restore your headlights finally?

 

I just got new ones because there was no saving my other ones. lol


Also think my fuel gauge is fixed, going to go test it now. Also about to go check to see if my lights need aligning when it gets dark, got some old overspray off parts of the body now that the bumper was out of the way, fixed an interior piece, and waxed the mark where the druggie threw a skateboard at me and it make it disappear pretty good (other than the dent).

 

Finally got my tires and wheels!!

 

Looks damn good!!
Specs on your wheels/tires/suspension??
Did you have to do much trimming & banging?

 

Thanks man. It's a Toytec 3 inch ultimate lift with 285/75/16 BFG AT and Pro comp 7069 flat black wheels. It is rubbing but not bad enough for me to do any trimming.

 

Will a 10" wide wheel fit in a 2001 DCSB wheel-well? I'm looking at purchasing some used 15x10 w/ 3.5 back space.

From what I've learner I think 3.5" of backspace is ideal for my truck, but what about rubbing on the fender. Is a 10" wide wheel too wide for the wheel well?

The tires are cooper discover radials 33x12.50x15

 

Oh yeah? Rubbing when you're off roading or just turning around the city corners..?

 

Rubbing turning on the pavement. Haven't been Offroad with this setup yet.

 

Welded a rear bumper for a 1st gen.






This was the prototype and these will be for sale soon.

 

That bumper looks nice isu2014 make sure you post a pic of it on the truck as soon as you install it...... I actually need a new bumber and am looking into something like this

 

badass looking truck!
i just finished swap my cylinder head yesterday due to engine code P0300.
the old head is all jackup.
today she is back on the play and better than before.
