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

Hope your speakers actually fit like they're supposed to unlike mine haha. Had to do some custom stuff. Still need to put in the driver speaker.

 

Are you guys hitting the bountiful b still?

 

damn, found this gem on CL. SAS

These photos suck. They're all pretty well color-matched.

What pisses me right the fack off though is while moving them inside to cure, I put a fackin finger smudge in the clear coat of the driver's side corner light

Also, even with 30 minute masking jobs to each light, I couldn't prevent some overspray from getting into a seam on these cheap pieces of crap corner lights.

 

^Looks much better than my corner light mod a little cracked

 

Why did you paint the back of them?

 

What is the PVC tank mod you speak of? I still need to move mine

 

Because they were bright chrome and with my headlights not sitting exactly flush with the grille, you'd (or maybe just my OCD) would see it. So I blacked it out.

 

hey thanks! you da man

 

Oh ok

 

Drove around with my gnarly deathcicle:

Finished!! Got a little bit of a bro lean going on, hopefully it will settle some. Going in for an alignment and new tires in the morning.

 

Very nice. I might do this for an aux battery some day.

 

Had to get a new supercharger belt

 

Well, Firestone had told me that my battery was nearing the end of it's life. Being Firestone, I wasn't sure whether to believe them or not...they have a history of trying to sell me stuff I don't really need. That's why I only use them for alignment.

Looking at my battery, it looked like there was actually some leakage...and I have no idea how old it was - at least 2 years since I've had the truck.

So...I fixed the problem today.



Certainly not cheap, but now I can trust it.

 

That tree stump next to it is how the drivers gets in and out.
