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

The new bumper shipped in! Unfortunately I only have two arms, so I couldn't install it today... But tomorrow for sure, I'll get before/after pics.

Here's a pic of the old gal from the side though.

 

removed the last of the Plasti-Dip from my wheels. it started to peel in a few places (been on for 15 months straight) so decided to revert.

to



even with the pitting looks good ;p

also played with removing some of it but didn't like the ring

 

that looks like someone put grease on it to get the intake tube on, it's even on the outer edge and outside... definitely take that apart completely.

 

I seafoamed my motor this summer through the brake booster line and gas tank..maybe I should double duty it. Also where and how can I clean my pcv valves?

 

Yeah it's pretty attractive.. how hard is it to remove the intake manifold and put it back together?

 

Welcome to Tacomaworld!
Which bumper did you decide to go with?

 

Easy a caveman could do it

 

If they are allowing that much oil in you should just replace them.

 

Could worn u joints cause a clunk when putting the truck in drive? I don't think its axle wrap because I have relatively new leaves on the truck and everything (double checked u bolts) is tight. Happens if I put it in neutral, let off the brakes and then put it in drive or after all but the gentlest stops when I accelerate again

 

Sounds like it's the legendary auto tranny thump.

U joints tend to squeal when going bad.

Never,one. your a manual.

What's the carrier bearing look like? Any play??

 

Oops no the new truck is sadly an auto. Need to update my info still haha

 

Just a standard chrome one by Top Picker Auto Parts. I unwrapped it yesterday and I think it looks nice! I'll get some pictures up tonight after work.

 

Where do you live? (no creeper)

I might be interested in your stock bumper if you're local to Colorado front range.

I see your plate is not a CO plate but that doesn't mean anything as there are hundred of thousands out-of-staters here.

 

Loaded up the new rtt. Tepui is a solid company to deal with! Plan is to get lost on the weekends and cut down on lodging expenses at mountain bike races!

 

explain more about this auto tranny clunk.

 

Sweet looking setup! What is the under layment for the tent?

 

Finally finished messing with my bumper except clear coat and some wiring.
Really happy with how the hidden solenoid turned out and happy with the remote plug in the bumper.

 

Full yakima setup..... If that is what you meant!?!

 

Went full bro, swapped the trail grapplers for mud grapplers

 

Tread pattern looks like 2 weiners hugging it out LOL
