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

Needs a wash but new shoes and suspension all wrapped up.

 

I like the fender flares, wider than mine... a Turtle Wax Trim Restorer will do the trick to looks dark black... 7.27 at Waltmart

 

Front-end Friday with the new wheels and tires

 

Have you think on Duratrac ? those looks good too...

 

Nothing like the 98-00 look

 

Well that sucks, someone had 5100 and they lasted over 60K miles without any problems. That's why I'm buying them so I can warranty them out if needed

 

I might change my major. It's web design right now but I'm now thinking about changing it to business or what your doing. I do enjoy working on vehicles.

 

Yep, a guy on Facebook used some stuff called wipe new, said it worked really good. I'm gonna try it this weekend.

 

I used to work 20-30 hours a week and that was part time. And you worked your ass off. And I never do any drugs, drink or smoke as well but I'm homework is what really takes my time

 

Yeah, that's why I changed it

 

I almost pulled the trigger on some Goodyear Authority's but I don't purposely off road much, mainly snow and sight seeing and these fit the bill and for $642 otd i'LL try them.

 

Changed out my rear shocks. Only a hour and a half job. Someone put the washers that hold the rubber pieces in backwards and did some damage to the rubber. The old springs where hard to compress but took a long ass time for it to extended out again.

 

Replacing my carrier bearing or drive shaft center support bearing tomorrow. Was reading the sticky on it. And have a quick question about it.

I don't have a bench vise and I thought if I can put the drive shaft back in the rear differential so I can torque the nut on the drive shaft down. Would it be OK to do it that way or should I use a bench vise to prevent damage to the differential?

 

I've changed mine 3-4-5 times, I lost count and NEVER took the shaft all the way out to TQ on a vice. Leave your truck 4hi/low in gear/park and put your purse down. I also never needed a puller to get the old unit off.

 

Your doing something wrong to go through that many.

 

Anybody know if I can still use my splined lugs with the spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers? It looks like they come with short hex lugs but I think those are for mounting the spacer not the wheel.

 

Yes the lugs are for the spacers.

 

Design or developer? Cause it's extremely lucrative when you get into it.

 

A'ight cool. And what do you mean by purse?
