1st Gen 95.5-04 White Color Thread - Post Here!

does this mean he made it himself? as in a after market scoop on a stock hood?

 

He made it himself. He has a thread on the process around here somewhere

 

Awesome, Thanks.

 

It took me a week or so to do, here's my link, everything you need to know,

I will have to buy two hoods. I dont have the nuts to cut my current hood. Might take a stroll to the junk yard this weekend...just to see.

 

I'm happy you could use that washer reservoir. My "new" 1993 pickup looks good now but it's been a ton of work. It was days of buffing and polishing in 100 degree heat to get the oxidization out of the paint. I don't think the interior had ever been cleaned since 1993. The engine compartment was totally black and greasy from a loose valve cover. I installed an LCE Performance timing chain with metal guides and had to remove the front diff in order to get the oil pan off so I could clean out a dozen pieces of broken plastic timing chain guide. The brake rotors were warped but they're not the modern type that just pop off, the manual hubs and wheel bearings have to be completely disassembled first. Only now that I'm done with the new timing chain, oil pump, spark plugs, distributor rotor, valve adjustment, throttle body/intake manifold cleaning, brake rotors and thorough douching inside and out, does it seem like it was worth the effort:

 

Wow! That is clean now, especially the engine compartment. Much respect for staying with it after all those issues. Those 22RE's are such good motors. Glad you saved this one.

 

Thanks, I adore it even though a 22RE automatic is so slow it makes a 3RZ 5 speed feel like a Bugatti Veyron. White single cab Toyota pickups make me feel all lusty and weak in the knees.

 

This weekend in Mammoth

 

Here's mine. Still needs a lot of work but I'm in love.

 

Picked up my '96 a few months ago. Plans are to build it into a capable overland rig/sled hauler!

 

Lucky you earlier Tacoma guys don't have fender flare holes.

Just got her back from my dad and am almost done swapping over parts from my wrecked double cab. Good to be back in the super white Tacoma crew!!!

 

I want to meet @DJB1 someday
He is my hero and inspiration

 

Aw shucks @PROseur, you're making me blush. I've never been anyone's hero before. My only crime is loving white poverty-spec Toyota trucks, which turns into lust if they have white wheels.

My wife and I go to LA once or twice a year. She's from there and it's one of our favorite vacation spots. We usually stay at a hotel we like in Beverly Hills. Next time we're there I shall require a ride in your new Morgan 3 Wheeler or Ariel Atom.

 

Love my snow wheelin....this is if im not rippin it up in the high country on my sled! Thats my true passion! Offroad toyotas come in second.... heck, its white too, does it count!?

Thats a snow pole in the back there, we had 10 feet before January!!! Friggin awesome i tell ya!

 

@DJB1 of course you would like the post! Lol! Us and our lil white reg cabs! Remember a while back you accepted my application to be in your reg cab wheelin group lol. Currently own 2 and had a 94 as well, that i had to sell to build up the white one a bit. I just love the look of these lil rigs! I know you do too! Just something about em, im really into the wheelbase too, since i live in tight country..

Id sure love to get back to utah again and spend a good chunk of time. Few years back i got to spend like 2 months checkin out the state! Absolutely loved it! Bee kinda cool to hook up with you, and have ya shiw me some.shit. i had to find everything on my own pretty much when i was there. Where are you in the state?

 

Nice!

 

Looks awesome man. Love your white truck pics in the snow!

 

Yes, @bry838, I do remember our exclusive regular cab club. I had 2 white 4X4 regular cabs but recently sold the 1993 Pickup and kept the 2003 Tacoma. Something about the look and maneuverability of the regular cabs really floats my boat and makes them so fun to drive.

I live in Salt Lake City but I have been everywhere in Utah many times over, either truck camping or backpacking. Any time you're passing through, let me know. I like the high country in late summer/early fall and the West Desert & Southern Utah the rest of the year. Utah is awesome, except for only being able to buy real beer at inconvenient state liquor stores.
