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

(cough cough)

 

Opinion on it I need a drivers considered Dorman one

 

Any pre runners looking to do a 4wd swap?

Ill have everything for IFS ADD 4wd swap soon as I find a buyer for most everything, only thing not going is the Trans/Tcase and front driveshaft..

Ill have the front diff with factory 4:10's
5 OEM green shaft cv axles, two almost brand new, 2 with torn inner boots but good shape and 1 that's straight get off the trail and to a store or parking lot spare.
Rack and Pinion with 25k on it tie rod to tie rod
3 spindles, all control arms but passenger lower is useless... have Moog balljoints with 25k or less on them plus OEM spare lowers...

Think that covers everything up front if anyone is interested shoot me a PM.
Not really looking to separate but I will if I cant find someone who wants it all.. Tho if I split it up 4 cvs are already called for

 

Doing a SAS?

 

What issues was your stock door handle giving you?

I'm having an issue with my driver door handle not opening the door when I pull up on it. The interior handle works every time but the exterior handle is the one with issues. Sometimes it'll take 7 pulls till the door opens and sometimes I have to open the rear passenger door and reach around to the interior door handle. Anyway did the doorman handle solve your issue?

 

Mine cracked all the way and was useless

 

freshened up my front end.

Had my satoshi redone for a more flush mesh

Painted my LED bar that was tuning orange due to paint oxidation as well as tinted the glass.

Had 2 light tabs welded for rigids and added amber covers.

 

Wished you were closer..

Got a new windshield for $125 some guy off Craigslist I met him on a whim and am very happy with the service. 1 hr at the wally world parking lot and presto. Also ordered me a exterior door know from a member parting out his Tacoma. Now I just need to do some maintenance cleaning up detailing maybe a 1 or 1.5" spacer lift and find someone to fix the roof cheap (clear is peeling) and maybe some window tint and I'm done

 

TN isn't tooooo far away

 

I'm in WASHINGTON lol

 

just made this mod with the help of an 18yr old kid who was apparently confused by what to do at the stop sign...

waiting for those final words "it's totaled"
should know by tomorrow..

 

Truggy time.

 

Yup, don't get rid of it if you can help it.

Wish I would have kept my 96 and SAS'd and engine swapped it.

 

That sucks.

 

Looks like sliders weren't effective in that, hopefully it didn't end up bending the frame, definitely going to need a new cab

 

im starting to think that i should just buy an 04 Dcab with a 3.4 and then SAS that. it would be pointless to put a 3.4 in my truck and then put a new 01-04 clip on, and then swap a dcab on. rather just do a sas and a 5speed swap on an 04

 

Should have gotten the kick-up on the sliders.

 

Eh I would have just done a leaf SAS and throw a small block 350 in it if I would have kept it.

 

yeah, it was an older Ford Explorer, I think the sliders pushed him up into the body.. and the crazy part is he did that from a full stop, at max 15' away.

can't SEE any frame damage, and the alignment is still good. Door even opens closes and locks. i am going to try to buy it back, and reassemble what they tear down. how involved is a cab replacement? I am imagining, "very".

 

I wouldn't worry about replacing the cab and just fix it as best you can. Especially if you buy it back and plan on wheeling it.
