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

Sure could do that. LEDS barely pull anything.

 

Got some stuff in the mail today

 

YEEEAAA BUUDDDYYYY!^

 

Ooo I got stuff too!

Two new pelican 1600s

And an ARB locker.

 

Werd. Having a locker is tits.

 

New bedside decals!

 

@Blackdawg finally getting a locker
















I'm open/open

 

Ive been meaning to switch back to my summer tires for a while now, but just noticed a little damage that musta occurred when they were dismounted last time.. Does this look like it will be okay to mount? The entire bead isn't damaged just the inside lip/edge a bit

Good question. Only two of the 6 holes in the base are located over the platform under the stock battery so you can drill holes and make a connection. I think I will try to fab a bar that ties into the stock j-hook and stock front mount in order to brace the top. A battery this heavy really needs to be tied in at the top like the stock mount I think.

 

The right deal popped up and I was in the right place. Stoked!

Real question is...how often will I even use it..haha

 

Lol. You'll probably use it once and forget you have it after that.. since you've been wheelin Frank open open for so long. But then again.. you won't have the added weight of the huge bed rack / roof rack so I'm anxious to see

 

Finally started my new floor, firewall, and storage area. No more flintstone's jokes for me!

Got mine back from getting diagnostic work done on the engine. Cyls 2 & 3 leak to coolant, so on Wednesday it'll be going in for the big fix ($1200-1300). Hopefully when they rip the head off and have it pressure tested and milled there are no issues (cracks or valve adjustment).

 

Yea that's true..

Probably only use it when I get stuck. Instant on. Air locker FTW!

 

I'm planing to get front and rear lockers plus a re gear all at the same time $$$$$$$$$$$ it'll be a while tho

 

Yea that's a lot of money. 3k+. I didn't have that when I regeared. Still don't. But since I can do gears myself I don't mind just ripping the diff out. Not exactly looking forward to doing the front again..but I'll do it at some point.

 

It was pretty fun using my locker for the first time, very smooth.

 

Yea not having ton ump everything will be nice....well..not everything. So far there is only one maybe two spots in Wyoming I can think of that a locker will make things smoother. 5.29s helped a lot in that area for me in the first place.

 

So yeah. For the front mount I'm gonna try and fab a plate like this, maybe 18ga stainless or w/e I can find. Never did anything like this before so we will see.




If I can find a hook-bolt that is 1/2" longer then all I have to do is drill out the rear center hole on the top of the cage and use the stock nut to tighten it down.

 

MG gear reduction starter all wrapped and ready to install. Also the HO alternator arrived today.
