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

I don't want these to get berried (hahah... ok.) seriously. Great pics, looks like an awesome trip.


***Edit, apparently the Quote feature is... not so awesome. Anyway, go back a few pages and check out jberrys post.

could you please post a picture of your setup.

 

I was looking at a much newer Tacoma when I ran across this low mileage, absolute cream puff in Tennessee. Since I have always been fonder of the Gen I looks anyway combined with the incredible condition and low miles, I snatched it up. It's just hard to accept that it was "my momentary lapse of judgment" to drive through an automatic car wash, not the fucked up car wash that is the problem is here. These scratches are repetitively swirling marks along the same front to back horizontal plane . . . not something caused by a shopping cart or tree branches, etc. That would be EASY to prove in a court of law but like I am going to spend $15000 in legal fees to fight $1500 in damage . . .

So, enough already. This is just how I deal with shit and I'm ready to move on . . .

 

hella h4 lenses or retrofits. the sealed beam silverstars arent bad for $50 a set either.

i put a set of opt7 pods on my wr450f the other day and was impressed for what they are. might get another set to put in same place you have your duallys.

 

I put a set of GE Nighthawks on right when I got the truck and they are way brighter than the old Silverstars that were on there.

 

Da hell does that mean?

Hey Yo!

I was able to listen to Old Brett's earlier this month. Sounded nice. I know what you mean by "from what I know about you" because you know I would like it throaty and deep (ugh) but quiet when I'm cruising. I actually really like how quiet my cab is with the deadener, windows up and stock muffler. But a frivolous spend would be a magnaflow 18.

 

Yea doesn't really merit anything other then enjoyment haha

File in Small Claims court - it won't cost you much at all, and if you win, your court costs will be paid (reimbursed) by the defendant too.

 

Finally finished my relentless DIY kit, gotta do a little touch up on the tubes and where I had the chains looped through the front to hold it but in happy, it needs a winch now.

 

Installed this stuff: TC UCA's, Inner & Outer Tie Rods, LBJ's and ES Steering Rack bushings.

Before:

Upper BJ's were toast

After: Front end handles tight now

 

This happened last night. Hopefully this doesn't result in a good ol' insurance headache.

I posted some photos and parts info on my tundra upgrade in someone else's brake upgrade thread. If we have an official sticky on the Tundra upgrade let me know and I will post it there.

Yet another Tacoma brake upgrade to Tundra

 

Time to buy a wrap around

 

plate bumper upgrade

Keep seeing these awesome retrofits and I'd like to have a pair but I don't trust myself to put them together lol. Any ideas? Idk much about them either.

 

Don't skip leg day!

 

Just take your time look for walk thru's on here. Or just ask a lot of questions. Super easy tbh

 

Just got my steering rack in the mail from rack doctor.




The paint is chipping in a few places but it still looks ok. One of the pressure lines is a little dented up but i think it will be fine.. the one thing I'm a little concerned about is this bushing, its kind of not fully all the way in only on the half that is circled with red, does anyone think this will be a problem?

 

I would just go ahead and replace all the bushings with ES ones regardless if the bushing is fine or not.
