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

Didn't think Jerry offered a difference in tubing..didn't when i ordered. No idea what mine are. But they have taken all the hits awesome.

 

i thought yours were gonna bend into the truck a few times haha

 

Touchy tonight haha

they are still there...somehow..hahaha

 

Hey..if no one gives you shit? who is? Me..duh haha

Yes, you didn't. Good for you. Sorry i blew a LBJ haha

 

What sliders do you have?

 

4xinnovations just like I do.

 

4xinnovations. Nothing wrong with em. I just give him crap for the bird poop welds that he did to them originally hahaha

 

You know as well very very well that i would thrashed my truck up that if i hadn't just injured it at the magnitude i had. Another day..guess we can go down there..then up to Moab next time and into ID from there...

and any welds are better then marks.

But i know you re did them

Like i said before..i have to give you crap..its my job..haha just like you give me crap haha

 

I thought you said you redid some of them???

And yea..haha well i mean you don't feather the clutch..i do at least. Usually..but yes..very much so pot and kettle haha

 

Ah gotcha.

Eh nothing wrong with killing it, all part of the manual game. More challenging = more fun in my book. I work the clutch a lot more then you..was nice with my new clutch though. Took the abuse very well...especially since your not suppose to "abuse" it in the first 750 miles lol whoops.

 

Why? whats wrong with the starter???

 

oh lol eh. With the starter it slowly dies, so chances are you probably could have started it even when it was dying as its usually corrosion on the contacts. They just need replaced.

But yea, being alone changes it all for sure. Funny, i used to go alone with pretty much no tools and spare parts and grant and i would go bang around hell and gone like it was no big thing haha Now..especially after this last trip..makes me appreciate groups more haha

 

Lol yea. loner campfire would not be super fun.

 

After much debate up here I see jerry will get a order and my welder will work overtime then...

 

He did/does.

You have to PM him for DOM pricing.

That last trip I took but some gnarly scars in mine. I like it. Makes me feel tough.

 

LMAO that shits hilarious.. well played

 

Well.... if it covers the top half, then it's just as effective

 

Wheeled it:


Didn't like that sound coming from the rear:


Gdmnt... Ring and Pinion chewed to crap.


With the help of my wheeling club, we removed the third, cleaned the innards, pulled the ring and rear drive shaft and I was able to limp home under front wheel drive.

Nothing like a 'forced' upgrade to 4.88s eh?
