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

Nice truck, been a few years since I’ve made it up to Asheville. Love it up there.

 

Dremel fixes everything. And this plug has fancy little lights under it.

 

What was that f'd up plug you posted earlier? Or did you buy a new one?

 

I'm running out of space for stickers!

 

I added a hoop. I think I like it

 

I f'd it up lol. I got a new plug, shaved off the rubber and a little off the bracket and it's a nice snug fit now.

 

Thanks! Yeah man love this place it’s an awesome area!

 

Incase you got extra stickers (have to read the caption)

I’ve had to do a few mods at work, imagine cutting a 4 inch hole on an airplane that had to be spot on. I wouldn’t hesitate cutting the roof if I needed to.

 

The things I do to save a few bucks.

I’ve taken three bedsides off already, one to go. So many damn spotwelds.

 

Pro Tip: Go to Home Depot and buy a black ABS Toilet Flange and use it as a seal driver for the rear main seal. Worked wonders when I did my rear main seal.

You also need one of those shaft-type seal removers. A normal seal remover or prybar will mar the mating surface.

 

Lol mine just dangles below my truck by an inch or two. I imagine it will get ripped off sooner or later.

 

First post on the forums. But have been trolling through endless threads. Finally got around to completing some stuff on my 2000 2.7L Extended Cab Pre-Runner.

Added Pro Comp Series 51 steel wheels (15x8 6 lug) with 4.5" backspacing (PCW 51-5884)
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires (31x10.5/R15)
Bora 1" wheel spacers on the front to clear the front calipers for the Pro Comp Series 51.
Bilstein 4600s on all 4 corners
Moog 81082 front coil springs

Truck runs great. After installing the Bora 1" spacers, I get a very slight rub inside my wheel well ONLY on full lock out. Truck is on stock height. Might add a small lift or Bilstein 5100s later down the road. And will probably add 1" spacers to the rear to even out the stance.

 

Positive its stock height. Have had the truck in the family since we drove off the lot brand new in June 2000

 

Haha. I'm not the type to post a lot but I also was away for like 6 yrs. The black hole I got sucked into was another hobby that cost me much more money than the mods for my truck.

 

I thought the same. then I went back in my files and found a pic of mine. Look about the same.

 

With no flares it looks higher, well more gap in the wheel well anyway.

 

Post a pic of your taco

 

Maybe it's still got water weight & needs to dry out more?

 

To be serious, it could just be the angle of the pics. First pic rear looks higher. Second pic front looks higher. Also showing right side.of the truck, taco lean might possibly be a factor.

But I don't know, if it was stock height I think it should have a bit more rake. Maybe those Moog front springs are adding a tiny bit of height?
