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

Total Chaos makes them for long travel kits.

 

Uh...can I ask why you got tundra LBJs? If I recall correctly they do not fit on tacomas and have different steering setup..

Huh. Odd. I paid 88 bucks for 2. Should keep looking on there probably find a pair for the same price

 

Ha I know that looked familiar. Those are vinyl inserts for the 3rd gen tailgates.

 

Hahaha yup the inserts, but these ones are high profile plastic, better and easier to work with

 

Doesn't look too bad. Did you do any body work before the primer?

 

Of course! Sanded, wipped with acetone, sprayed with Upol #4 grip and primmer with upol #8acid

 

Oil change
Deatiled
gas struts for The topper



@sbhunter551

 

My bad, ill be doing body work after primmer, when its all primmered it shows all dents better so i marked all dent with a sparpie and ill be sanding those dent spots again and repair them and primer

 

Haha sorry, I read sanding in your original post and I totally forgot. Why'd you just paint over the back emblems?

 

Its all good! Because to me when all emblems are coated with the truck it look awesome lol ill have pics up in the next couple weeks.

 

That's the exact reason I got them for since I don't have a winch installed yet.

 

I guess this is basically the same thing huh.

Having less then a foot of storage space behind my seat makes it hard to work with.. Hahaha

 

It isn't anything special haha, I was in the same place you were and found this one in my shed so I threw it in. lol

 

Looks better from behind

 

Relocated my rear shocks today.

 

Anyone know how much ATF the A340F has? I bought it completely drained. The Haynes manual says 2.1 quarts but it seems like it has more?

@Speedytech7

 

I went and bought a $40 axe from the hardware store put a better edge on it and the handle broke the first time I used it. So I want to buy a nice one

 

@Blackdawg
I used the Tundra LBJ because the taper near 5/8", I just passed a drill through it and my heim steering bolted to that. Want to add a double sheer tab on bottom, but this will work for now. Tacoma LBJ has wider taper and needs reducer cone to work. (I have this in old blown lbj). Bolted right up and geometry is very close.

 

Yeah I saw how TC originally sells this kit with a double sheer gusset - are you going to fab one of those yourself?
