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

Where you get the dakars. I read somewhere that the eye to center pin is a inch difference between the older model pickups to 95-97 tacoma.

 

They sell them a few different places, Toytec has a rather high priced kit for the 95-97 that includes them and Low Range Offroad sells them separately with free shipping. For what its worth my wheels are centered perfectly.

She's a beauty to behold. Or is your truck a he?

Here are the different kinds of track that I know of. Never heard of s track. I think L-track is the most popular.

The beveled airline style is 1.75" wide so I don't think it will fit between the channels in the bed.

 

Mine magically disappear, not needed heat dissipate is what's its for

 

I ran into a couple different types, ended up ordering these

Going to start planning out how i want to strap down my camping gear and stuff in the bed.

 

O Track... got them off Amazon

I wanted to go flush mount... but at the time couldn't find it on Amazon (had a$50 gift card I wanted to use) and actually... these are close to flush with the top edge of the ribs, so no big deal.

I used them in Moab last year to strap all my gear down through the Kokopelli, then able to easily pull everything out, air up my Truck Bedzzz mattress and sleep in my bed under the softtopper. Worked perfectly. Now that I'm putting a RTT rack on... I'm going to put some down the inside rails of my bed... one up front and one either at the top of the tailgate or on the bed sideways just inside the tailgate.

 

Where is that at? I'm in south denver. Would love to take a pic too from some cool spots with the city background. I know a few really cool graffiti spots on broadway. And by the convention center

 

Bought that 96. Brand new winter tires, leaf springs, power steering pump, exhaust and 150k on the engine and trans (3.4 auto). Minimal damage to anything but the fender. Sadly the bed is pretty rusty and the frame has a patch in one spot, but the rest is incredibly solid. Took a hammer to the whole thing. But other than that for 700 bucks with 2 sets of wheels and tires I won't complain.

 

Nice grab!

 

Who has an r150f transmission laying around?

 

Don't forget to spray cleaner inside the holes on the bottom too. That bulb thing is just air temp sensor.

 

Yep I cleaned it really good. Thank you
