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

a T100 and a Tacoma. what is being done to them?

 

As do I damn PO…..

 

It's about time he comes out of the closet that is a sweet rig no doubt, how come 2 years though?



I got my tires put on today!

 

REALLY?! WHY? is that the only Tacoma you had?

 

Did you bob the frame?

 

Interesting idea on the intake tube cover.

My question is... why not just take it off and cover the hole and do a deck plate?

I have 3x layers of pantie hose tapped up on the tip of my intake hose under the wheel as well as a big deck plate done. heavy rains do nothing..

 

Me?

Yes I cut the frame. Like 8". I used the frame that I cut off to kind of box the frame a little. I plan on swapping to a 1 ton w/ links(redoing frame) in the future.

 

Mostly because I'm not sure how the smog people would react if I had a big deck plate on my intake box.. Each place is different. It's only temp till I get a snorkel.

 

As long as you have the stock box thats all they seem to care about, Mine is and was deck plated when I smogged it

I smogged it fine with my intake tube fully exposed under the fender as well.

I run fiberglass so I cannot use any fender liners unless fabricated.

Only visual issue I had was that my Doug Thorley headers didnt have a CARB stamp.. had to drive to corona and have them weld one on.

I also had my exhaust dumped at the axle.

 

Hmm.. Interesting. Good to know. Well since I already finished I'm not gunna just go tear it out lol.. Seems like it will work fine for a few weeks/months. I might do the deck plate if my snorkel ends up restricting the airway too much.

 

It appears u cut ur frame off or are my eyes deceiving me?

 

Do you even custom back half bro?

 

I discovered I need an alignment bad, I have a 1/2 inch of tread on the out side of my tire and a 1/4 inch on the inside, can somebody tell me about what it will cost me to get one, my cousins said it cost him 300, I hope he is wrong.

 

Anybody happen to know which seal is supposed to be replaced with the wheel bearings? All I can find is inner and outer, but no specifics on which one pertains to wheel bearings.

 

The. outer, but I replaced inner and outer when I replaced my berrings, they don't cost much so I figured, what the hell. All I have to say if you are doing them your self is have fun.

 

Hope you have a nice press lol

 

If your seals are not bad you really don't need to replace them, that's why I pulled my axle is because I had the outer seal go bad but you have to press of the berrings to get to the outer seal, I needed to replace my berrings any how because they were full of sand.

 

Damn I was just lookin at your build on pirate 6 hours ago. Great work on the front swap man! That atlas is beautiful!
I was wondering why you did the work for the front link set up and went with a low key leaf set up for the rear that isn't going to to be able to keep up with the front?

 

What I have planned for mine one day.
