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

Used it to move some logs around.

 

Sweet! Thanks gents

 

I hope you were using the winch to move the logs and not reverse.

 

Used the winch. I've seen the front diff grenade in two different jeeps pulling in reverse. Don't plan on making that mistake ( Though I'm sure I'll find other equally expensive mistakes to make)

 

Drove a couple hours straight today and haven't put a picture up on here yet. Coming up on 90k and considering taking it to toyota for all the scheduled maintenance. Want the frame inspected and what not before I put some money into the suspension and new tires.

 

Nebrasker - get the frame inspected and then fall down the rabbit hole of modifications!
Have your Visa, tools and friends ready for installs!
Welcome to TW!

 

Never knew that was a risk. Good to know.

 

I feel sorta bad, my truck was so dang caked with mud the car wash guy checked in on me and wanted to help.

Some places had mud around 4 in thick caked on, I got it mostly clean but it isn't spring yet so it doesn't get its yearly wash yet.

 

It may be a bit late for a reply, but I used a 2" sanitary tee for my 90*. I put an end cap in the bottom of the sanitary tee for the low fluid sensor, and used a 1-3/8" hole saw to drill for the fitting/seal. Off the curved 90* of the sanitary tee I used a 2" tee with a 1/2" female opening trimmed short for the pump fitting/seal. Then added the rest of the 2" pvc beyond that for the rest of the reservoir. Above the sanitary tee I added two 45* elbows to move the vertical tube over the frame and away from the fan shroud.

Sorry the pics aren't better.

 

I didn't either - but the front diff both of the jeeps were just weaker pulling in reverse - one was '62 willis pickup, the other a cherokee. Since I knew the front diff on our Taco's are smaller than the rear - just isn't worth it.

 

Took the bed off the truck
Going to grind down the small rust spots it has and grind the the whole back of the chassis to read coat it (factory coat is close to gone). I had recoated internal frame with zinc paint and it held up fine this winter. Also going to box up the rear frame and add a brace in the bumper in case some one bumps into me it won't get totaled like the last taco I had.

 

Got my front lift and Sr8's on! Rear is still stock suspension with 33's lol! Love this green so much!

 

Truck looks good man!
Where's all your snow?

 

Thanks a lot! Shit! It was all melted a couple days after the storm! Stupid pueblo!

 

Lol, trade you places, it's a sloppy mess here.

 

I bet lol! No thanks!

 

Looking good! Are those 285/75s? And I wish I could wash my truck, but it would just turn in to another frozen mess by the time I got home.

 

A new front-end light set with black housings (and Sylvania Ultras in the headlights to make sure I was definitely getting an upgrade ).

Cheap too!

 

Thanks! Yeah 285/75's I like the way your 295's look though! Coppers run a tad small. I figured I should now since everything is melted already in this shithole lol. Reinstalling my dakars this weekend and hopefully my winch and then head out to a closeish trail for a shakedown run I guess you can call it

 

Took ya long enough! Looks great! My second favorite 98-00
