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

I like M3s also and the M5; it's not the car, it's the attitude of the owner.

 

It's really starting to feel like Fall now

 

I was under the impression that you've driven one already. For $30k+ totally not worth it for me. My wife can't get over how "cool" they look but she's getting something else when the time comes for sure.

Nice! Although it's so tough to justify how much cars/trucks cost nowadays, we're leaning towards a third gen as well.

 

Paranoid Fab clock bracket came in.

Question... Is anyone running the full flavor version? I'm afraid the "Sugar Free" one I received isn't going to cut it.

 

Knocked out some preventive maintenance items:

1. Cleaned out MAS sensor
2. Replaced air filter
3. Replaced both 02 sensors
4. Replaced transmission mount
5. Replaced fuel filter
6. Fuel treatment

It was cool to see how the new OEM transition mount stopped the shifter from moving.

 

Got an alarm installed.
LCD screen "2 way" keyless entry.



This things badass.

 

think i am

And thats right, you were asking for photos of that last week i think. I finally got them up and couldn't remember who was asking

 

Have the same one. Good investment

 

I saw it. looks goooood!

 

Oh yeah, had to move to a place where I'm going to be parking on the street so it's definitely some peace of mind when your parking in tweakerville.

 

Just got it done today

 

What a view...bucket list- when my kids are out of college, I'm taking a Tacoma trail ride tour to all these cool looking trails.

Thanks for all the pics y'all post! We have a lots of delta crop land and pine trees.

 

Sugar makes life much better...

Thanks Jason, it's been a long time coming and it feels good to be on the home stretch, downside is wheeling sounds like it'll be very rainy and cold haha.

 

Finally got around to having my are shell color matched. Picked it up a few months ago for $100 on craigslist, $180 to paint it. Not bad seeings as all the windows and struts are in perfect condition. Now deciding on what kind of mount I want to throw on it for a rtt. Read a lot about the weight capacity and I think I'll just bite the bullet and try it for awhile. Prinsu rack or just a basic Thule system? Any input would be great!

 

Prinsu will not work, you need the roof to be flat all the way down like mine is

 

I was thinking of mounting it to the shell, rather than the roof itself. Not sure if I'm willing to take the gamble of it being able to hold the weight though. I keep going back and forth.

 

That's what I was meaning, your shell needs to look how my shell is. You might be able to get a 5' one and make it work

Edit: nvm you already have a 5' bed, so I don't think it's going to work with that shell

 

Shells can hold weight just fine but it has to be applied in the right areas or you'll bend it. Most people use racks that bolt to the side just below the corner where the roof meets the side. Some really nice ARE and LEER canopies have top rails but they are stronger and designed for that.
