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

Upgraded the factory radio with a pioneer avh-x4600bt

 

We were able to beat a couple out with a BFH, PB Blaster, a ratchet tie down and a crowbar but the 2 main eye bolts had to be grinded and sawed off.....

Lower shock mounts should be burned on in a couple of days. Its a traveling trampoline until then

Yup, that thing is a beast!

We were in a pinch and had to pick them up at Home Depot so no. I think I'm going to order some and change them out. I REALLY don't want to have to do this again.

 

here's a right side LBJ failure pic while existing a O'Reillys a few months ago back. The ball separated, not the bolts.

 

4runner ball joints are different and weaker.

 

Weaker still? Damn what are they made out of paper mache?

Did some wheeling this weekend. Love my inchworm crawl box!

 

Damn that's a gnarly section of trail.

 

Has anyone ever heard of setting adjustable Bilstein 5100's to the first setting (1.25") with the 620lb ToyTec coils? This was recommended to me by someone and I just want to get some opinions before I have it done?

 

And yeah... I'd have taken the bypass to the right no doubt.

 

Just got done refinishing my flares.

I tried the filler+primer stuff for the deep gouges in the fiberglass. Did not work.

In order to truly bring these back to new I'd have to use fiberglass, sanding, etc.

I fully embraced my "fuck it, good enough" philosophy for the flares.

Did the usual: clean with soap/water, dry, mask, degreaser prep wipe, 3 light coats of self-etching primer (after giving up on the filler+primer) and about 4 or 5 light coats of Rustoleum semi-gloss.

We'll see how they hold up

 

Same here. I had my son stand in the back and rock the truck and I could feel the cab flex towards the skids. I just don't want to replace body mounts.

Great shot Paul! You really need to come out to Utah sometime so we can wheel together.

 

Washed her, got to love that Texas shine and that orange pearlescent

 

Here's mine for comparison. Had to take it at a different angle due to the spare tire.

 

Finally threw out that ugly hood rag



Also in the process of bedlining my flares



And wheel spacers are now on the wish list

 

Leave em off!

 

I'm thinking about it, but I like the contast! Decisions, decisions.....

 

I've heard of it being done on 2nd gens, but with the 1st gen that'd put you at 4+'' of lift correct?

 

Mine aren't going back on
