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

Also helps, once you get a little movement, to go back and forth, loosen a bit, then go back to tight, and apply your lubricant of choice to flush some of the rust particles out. Rinse and repeat, as they say.

 

We have a cabin just over the hill from there haha.

MAN... I was on fuckin FIRE today!

 

Tray for mounting my 2nd battery came in today

My wife was really happy when the unexpected delivery came

 

Where did you get it

 

Amazon Warehouse deal for 21 bucks... normally $35

 

thanks im working on a dual battery setup. just need to find a size of battery i want lol

 

I'm going to do a second Optima Yellow top 34/78. It'll fit riiiight here, now that I moved some stuff.

 

so stock size battery?

 

I think a 34/78 is actually a little bigger than stock. At least it's bigger than the one that I had before I put the 34/78 in the stock location.

I think it's wider... but shorter. You have to use the spacer underneath to make the stock hold down work.

 

the stock size is group 35. ah ok

 

So wifey wanted purple LEDs for her instrument panel to go along with her pink footwell strips. So 2 hours later, this is what she got. The speed cable is a BEE ITCH! Just in case yall were wondering.

 

Link?

 

30-32” curved led bro bar recommendations.

Or whatever fits in the spot in the bumper.

Caliraised?

 

Don't know how to send a link from the app, but here's a screenshot.

 

@Sperrunner the dremel was a solid idea, thanks...I picked one up at Harbor Freight yesterday and was able to chip away at the smeared portion of the outer ring around my rear diff drain plug...enough to get a socket on there and change out the oil.

Of course now my drain plug is completely exposed to the next rock so I'll have to do what that guy in the video did and look at replacing it with a flat hex key one from a Camry.

 

Or get diff armor

 

That's taboo subject around these parts

Although it's looking more and more like it would be a good idea for me

 

It's not taboo if you have a good reason for it. Speaking of your situation for instance
