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

lmfao

 

Worst I hit is was destroyed my passenger side rocker panel.

Actually, I've probably hit worse with my sliders now but thankfully they absorb all the damage.

And yeah, the rear most piece of my stock skids is hanging on by a miracle and a prayer and my transfer case skid, if it can be called that, is pretty much destroyed too.

 

Yeah, my rear skid was the same way haha

I didn't know this until I took it off but apparently there were only 3 bolts holding the whole thing on and together!

Also I had to cut off one of the bolts because it broke the nut loose on the other side and there was no way for me to get any tools back there... That's the second one that's done that too, so it'll be interesting when it comes time to mount aftermarket skids....

 

I needed to use a dremel to get the orignal rear nuts off the back piece. Luckily none of the ones inside my frame snapped.

 

Got my frame gussets on now just need to get the frame box kit in

 

Well I only have one bolt holding the rearmost skid to the chassis. And I only have half a bolt holding it to the front skid.... which is only being held on by the two hooks up front on the crossmember and one mangled bolt on the passenger side.

So yeah, basically they're useless. Hopefully I have line on a set coming of an 01-04 which I'll be able to pick up in the next couple of weeks.

 

How come you're lower?

The most epic slam moment was with that guy in Moab during takeover, forget his name, who launched backwards off one of the "fins" on fins n things and broke I think both CVs and a bunch of other stuff

Jon hurt my feelings the other week when he was here. He said, "you should be posting in the 'lowered B.S.' thread"

 

Awesome pic of you and your truck.

Wish I had a nice one of me and mine. Instead I get a snapshot from 30 yards away and still my balding spot on the back of my head is visible.

 

My frozen truck...

 

hahaha! you just cant win sometimes

 

well i messed up guys i hurt my clean (till now) tacoma... cut a corner too tight not watching where i was going and got my bed.. anywho here are a few pics.. anyone have any experience with pulling dents? if so, do you think this can be fixed?

 

Id say someone likes TRD haha

 

Ouch!!! If the paint is not damaged then it's entirely possible the dent can be fixed by a Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) company with no visible signs it was even there for less than a regular body shop.

Contact multiple companies for estimates.

PDR in Phoenix

I'm a big believer!

 

hate to say it but that is in the worst spot possible. really hard to get up in there because the corner of the bed has bracing in it, But if you can fit a deflated basketball up there then you'll be able to pop it out
