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

A 2000+x3000+ pixel photo..is not the same as a 1024 wide photo

 

Okay. Like I said, the Flickr link I grabbed happened to be the original photo instead of a medium resolution. Doesn't effect me either way, but I changed it.

 

I ended up throwing mine in the scrap metal pile at the recycler. No one wanted it, even for free

 

All this talk of stock bumpers What bumper are you wanting to get, if you get one?

 

Woo hoo! 31 degree F water temp this morning in the Taco (according to my handy Scan Gauge II). So of course I immediately revved it up and took off pushing it as fast as it could go!! Not. While my Camry is on the injured reserve list (need a new throttle body, and have to re-seat my cv axles as, apparently, I didn't seat them all the way???) the Taco is my ride for a bit. Going to be cold ass days until the weekend when it warms up into the 40s. yay.

 

I've decided on this Badlands front bumper:

and this 4xInnovations rear bumper:

The Badlands is high clearance with very good approach angles plus has a mount for turn signals, a winch and aux lights.

The 4xInnovations has reinforced bedside protection and a Class III receiver so I don't need a separate hitch if I tow a trailer.

 

That's not to bad its been below 10 in the mornings here yesterday was -2 even haha. My Tacoma warms up quicker than either of my parents cars so I don't mind

 

Same here. My 4cyl Tacoma warms up quicker than my V6 Impala.

 

the 3.4l warms up pretty quick with a supercharger.

 

This is exactly why I got mine. It's beefy as fuck and the bedside protection has def saved my ass more than once.

 

Are those hella 500s or 700s?

 

700's

 

I believe the outside temp was in the 14-18F range. I did have it show me the intake air temp, which interestingly was staying around 28F, give or take depending on the country I was driving through. I know the outside air was more like 18, so that air is warming up some by the time it hits that sensor. Or the scanner/sensor is wrong

 

I looked at your pics and really like that bumper.

 

Thanks that was my plan to put 700s behinf the grill but all my subaru friends said theyre HUGE, 500s look too small IMO.

 

Lifted my Tacoma!

 

Ditto

 

Looks awesome. What size lift/tires? I have 3 inches and the 32s just don't cut it anymore. Christmas is soon though

 

Info in his truck stats. It does look good

 

Fall (quarterly) detail and keyless entry/alarm/remote start installed. Love it more everyday.
