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

Someone say front end

 

I did cheap mods like that until I got a real job and cash started flowing. Got sliders and skid plate, moving on to a bumper

 

Holy balls that reminds me! I also have sliders in the garage since like September hahahah

 

I remember watching a video on YouTube and they used a heat gun or something and it made the plastic look new again lol.

 

You did say you have a manual, right? The 5-speed doesn't have a pan or a filter.

 

Dang that's a nifty little trick!

 

i was looking to keep the all silver look, but i thought about doing that.

im going to hang onto them, never know maybe ill decide to put them back on.

 

is there any write ups on changing the door handles?

 

not that i know of, its pretty easy though. take off ur door panel and its two bolts and u remove the two rods that operate the latch and the lock

 

Have you seen @mrbeggins build? mrbeggins 04 Tacoma Build

He painted the clips to match and popped them back in the holes. Looks good.

 

ive seen his build never realized he did that. ill take a look thanks for the tip

 

I don't call myself the master of derps for no reason lol

 

Unless you have fat fingers then the clips are a pain. I wish I had long needle nose pliers.

 

AH!?!? What come on now

It says your an apprentice

 

You can get the rubber here http://www.carid.com/bushwacker/har...1-30002.html?gclid=COuq0_uM58UCFUQ6gQodxwIAQg

 

Lol I was sleepy and looking for my next truck mod, and I forgot how to spell apprentice. So I put master lol

Thinking either doing a satoshi grill, should look amazing with a plate bumper. But the center hoop would get in the way of the letters on the grill. Unless I put them on the bumper

 

It was free, and had been sitting for a while, at the time it was parked it needed brake work, and the cab repaired from a limb that fell on it, that was fixed prior to my getting it, but the brakes still needed fixing.

I changed out a lot on the brakes, no more leaks, new brake hoses fixed that, and went with the new calipers, rotors, pads, and master cylinder, and it now stops properly, added a new radio, that i will put a pict up later of, added a bed cover, vent visors, changed out the air filter and vacuumed out the squirrel next that it had in front of the old one, changed all the fluids, inspected all the hoses for wear and dry-rot, didn't find any that needed changing out.

Still have to fix the parking brake cable that is broken 1 inch in front of the spring arm under the cab, least it broke in a good place to get to, and one of the mechanisms in the rear is rusted and locked up, thankfully it isnt lock on, been spraying it with wd40 and will take it apart to clean or replace as needed. the other side works fine. need to fix the drivers side front blinder housing, it keeps coming out and scratched my paint last time it did, so that is a high priority, probably hold it in with some 3m tape till i can get replacement parts cause it looks like the part that holds it in is broken. also have to change out the lights on the instrument panel, half of them are not working.

 

Nice find, hope the frame is in good shape though. After my 00 tacoma frame rusted out on me. That's the first thing I look at next to engine, transmission and transfer case.

 

Ha its in your title

Satoshi's are awesome! Look Delta's build he has the letters like mine and a plate bumper
