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

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

 

I know! Thanks a lot! Gonna try and get that build thread goin lol!

 

Anyone know what the sliding rear window and back glass tint is. Or is it even tinted?

 

Got a chance to wheel some. It was refreshing

 

Did my first plasti derping today! I only did the badges on the door, and they turned out awesome!

 

The factory tint, or privacy glass, is pretty close to 20%. At least, that's what we tell people at my work when we tint their front windows that are not tinted.

 

I know that, I meant the back glass, like the window facing the bed lol

 

Sick truck, that a Trail Gear bumper?

 

Thanks man. Yeah it's the trail gear low profile bumper

 

Lol I'm pretty sure it's the same!
