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

Didn't see that in the post... guess I should go back through all 1500+ pages before asking a question

 

Duh... Didn't you know you're supposed to be like blackdog and have 42 THOUSAND posts on an Internet forum?! Jeez you must of missed the memo while living your life hahahah

 

Lol so true. It's nice to have a life

 

So i found this stufff here 2 dana 60 high pinion king pin for the front (probably going to sell one or keep for spare not sure yet), 1 dana 60 rear, 5 super swamper 42" in good shape ,and 5 aluminum wheels . all that for 3000$.

Let me know if you think its a good deal or not

 

well you could I guess but dirt just collects on/in it since it's so textured. Really hard to get it clean.
However, the dude they were talking about that did his whole truck in O.D. Greens looks awesome. I'd try to find/PM him

 

FYI: Line-X runs anywhere from $2000-$3500 installed, depending on how much prep you do yourself and how desperate the shop is. And, as others have mentioned, it can be a bear to clean. It also isn't entirely UV stable and will fade over time.

I've been looking into doing this myself and have decided on Monstaliner. It's UV stable, you control the texture, easy to clean, MUCH cheaper, and available in numerous colors. I'm oscillating between desert sand and blood bath. Their customer service is top-notch as well.

Check 'em out, here: http://www.monstaliner.com/

A nice write-up of an install on T4R.org:

 

are they stock axles? no lockers? no upgrades?

 

Stock axels from 1979 ford

 

Really hard to tell from the pictures

 

I'd try and figure out exactly how much the window is going to cost before you buy it. Sometimes that glass is way more expensive than you might expect.

 

X2 on the monstaliner. Some of the jeep guys love it. Haven't used it myself yet but I plan to.

Staying on topic, I discovered this while working on my fuse block just a second ago..

 

Got a new trailer project yesterday for 98 bucks


Also got the last of the parts I was waiting for to do my tundra brakes. im ready for the stopping power.

 

Some degreaser and a pressure washer will make it look brand new again.

 

Well that sucks (no pun intended).

 

I was just thinking having someone cut a copy of the good side...

But idk if the hardware etc is still there..

Anyone replace glass in a canopy before?

 

Enough JB Weld oughta do the trick lol.

 

Got my skids mounted today. I used 3 coats of primer and 5 coats of regal red yesterday and had them hanging in my garage overnight. These are far better than OEM, both in thickness and coverage area.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Looks like decent coverage...

 

My coilovers will be here wednesday doug
