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

Got a link to the other one? Want some ideas for my own.

 

Nice man! Any speakers going in there or purely for storage?

I'm hoping to get the bottom of mine glassed and get my second top piece cut out this weekend and maybe even get the subs mounted and wired so I can put it back together! It's a mess right now haha

 

I started this progect 3 months ago. Pulled out the seats and sheet metal then kind of forgot about it for a while.
May drop some 6x9's in there. But its mostly for storage of tools and other items needed for off road trips.

 

are you gonna be putting dynomat down? or something else, i would hate to hear the subs if its all metal in there. lol but i would consider building that for my sub but sectioning part of it off so the volume is right for the sub, and then build a tiny expanded metal cage over it for protection.

I like the idea of using it for storage, i would keep most of it for my tie downs and some recovery stuff. And maybe i could finally keep a set of tools with me, i dont like having everything banging around in my tool box.

 

Finally got my temporary wheels off and installed my new rims and tires.

 

Perfection

 

I may go back and do it later. I'm just going to do expanding foam between the box and the sheet metal so that should help.

 

anyone running 33 12.5 duratracs?>

 

I ran them in 31s, why?

 

Currently running em in 285/75/16... pretty close to 33x12.5 just 1" shy at the width

 

Finally got the Tacoma back in one, drivable piece. Over the past couple of weeks i've given it: a new steering rack, rebuilt the power steering pump, new lower ball joints, new passenger side lower control arm bushings plus cam adjusters/bolts, new differentials at 4.88 ratio, and a new u-joint. Ow, my wallet.

Now, off to bed as I get the pleasure of working from 3-8am.

 

well today was a mod day fail for me :\ bought all the paint and primer I need to paint my wheels and the shop that's on my base doesnt allow painting of any sort... even if i do it in the bed of my truck... so I went and got a can of trim paint and primer for my fender flares, but those are held on by a bunch of clips that i need to order!! gahh now i have nothing to do with all my free time!

 

I used Denso for the front 02 sensor and no issues at all. I always use
OEM replacement parts for the best reliability.

 

Fluid filmed the frame and anywhere I saw anything resembling rust......tires treated with Maguire's......radiator flushed and new anti-freeze......oil change with Toyota filter.........just a few more small things to get done.

 

jlee ran them for a while... why?

 

My parts arrived!

 

Added some ammo can in my bed!

 

did this today. I thought it was a great idea, thanks for the inspiration Stikle

Finally got tired of attempting to buy some color matched 3P1 corner lenses from Vision and Depo that doesn't match at all to my Satoshi grill so I decided to sand them down, add adhesion promoter, top coat and clear coat my own:
