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

Headlight restoration

 

Heres how my floors turned out at 42psi. by far the best texture ive gotten so far for my preference. Im pretty sure the higher pressure you do the smoother it will come out. Im getting ready to do the bed of the 83 im building so ill play with the higher pressure and get back to you..

 

Thanks. I'm trying to go for a texture-less surface. As close to looking like a regular paint job as possible.

Seems counter intuitive, but it's what the tech said.

 

Plastidipped my emblem yesterday. Don't know how I really fell about it. Will probably peel it off today

 

Now there's two of us

 

I don't know if I like it that much Austen. May be pulling it off

 

I would not thin out a bedliner such as the raptor it will make it unstable and prone to cracking. If you want a smoother texture use a Spray Gun not the underliner gun that is generally sold with bed liner kits. I spray the Raptor and the USC Defender bedliners out 2.0 and 3.0 Iwata's. The texture is very smooth. More pressure will also help flatten the texture out, but there is only so much that can be accomplished thru air pressure change.

 

Damn that came out nice!

doesn't look half bad because of your windshield sticker and the d rings.. But it definitely makes the emblem stand out a lot.

 

Probably just gonna peel it off

 

this happened to me as well... crappy design.. i jb welded it and it held up fine for a while but couldnt keep up with my offroading, who knows how much sand my engine sucked in :/ replace the whole intake with a more sturdy setup

 

Thanks! I like it and the lighter color is actually way better than the original black that I had before. I did my sequoia wheels with it as well except gunmetal..

 

Cussed it again, It would not start this morning, all it would do is turn over. I need to get this figured out before I start destroying shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah I'm gonna JB weld the f out of it asap, change my oil, and then look for a good deal on a CAI.. I just don't want a CAI where the filter is oiled. I don't know if they make such a thing though, gonna have to research

 

Ordered my Uniden 980 CB today. NOAA weather and a built in SWR meter were the main selling points. Having sideband is also nice on busy trails and events.

 

Got it weighed

4240 lbs - the 200 lbs love machine driving it = 4040 lbs.

Does that sound right?

 

Fiberglass might work also, maybe both. First jb weld, then cover with fiberglass.

 

I thought about that. I may have to try that.

 

Does that include the love machine?
