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

Sweet and that actually makes a difference
Boutta pick some up after work

 

Wheeled it a bit today! More pics in build

 

Played in the snow today.

 

I made my bumper and garage door track kiss today. It did not go well for either.

 

Yup it sure does. You can isolate which specific fins are the culprits by taping them off and seeing which eliminates the whistle.

Sweet, what shrouds?

 

Thanks!

They are Apollo 3.0

 

Hmmmm, interesting. I think im going to ask them to install it on my civic instead. Its my dd and I travel on country roads.

Cool, thanks for the tip brotha



Very productive day today....back is killing me know

Installed blue tooth speaker and LED bulb for my alarm. My buddy forgot them at work when he installed them. But now I'm having issues with my remote start. I must have pulled a wire or something. I'll have my buddy double check the wiring. Also installed a daystar switch for my led bar. And fixed that annoying hitch receiver

 

Looks good! Where did you go?

Edit: nvm I saw in the az thread.

 

Sycamore creek

(If anybody else wanted to know)

 

Replaced my belts today with OEM Toyota ones, topped off my fluids and got some parts in today. Will be changing LEDs, relocating rear diff breather, and switch holder this week

 

Changed from Dino oil to synthetic oil. I'm at 114,000 mi. I used a quart of Lucas oil conditioner and 4.5 quarts of Mobil1. While I was down there I took off my oem slid plate and sprayed that with bedliner paint. Looks great! Runs great! I will keep ya posted if anything leaks.

 

Bled my brakes again today. After installing SS extended front brake lines earlier in the wk, I initially had just bled the front lines, but the pedal didn't feel quite right. So I took another stab at it today bleeding all 5. Turns out my PR bleeder screw was all clogged up with rust and gunk and I couldn't get any fluid out of it. I removed it, used some fluid film and a sewing needle to clear it out and it was good as new. Got a nice pedal now.

Also greased all the zerks (driveline, OTREs, and leaf spring bushings) topped off my fluids, and vacuumed the hell outta the interior.

 

Awesome
Well picked up some of the trim today and going to try and isolate the fin that's whisteling tomorrow and get it to stop


Also today i finished swapping the the cs144 alternator

 

Got my co workers trucks together.. Stock 3rd gen.. 96 with 3 inch lift.. 97 with 6 in lift! My truck looks so narrow compared to the 97.. Maybe the topper makes it look like that?!?

 

He has fatter wider tires.

 

Another pic

 

Yeah he is running 295s.. Compared to my lil 32s

 

Didn't know they released 3rd gens already

 

Go 33s man and you can put some spacers on too

 

Could be worse..

Could be 32s next to 35s...
