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

Did you have those on the front or back of your truck? I just took them off my LCAs and I’m thinking about running them in the rear.

 

I need to find that girl from Planes, Trains and Automobiles to get this mounted soon. She's short and skinny, but she's strong

 

Nice wall

 

I always cheat and install my bumpers with a motorcycle jack or an engine hoist

 

I'm likely going to just rent an engine hoist. It's only $15 for four hours.

 

I just bought mine outright from harbor freight, only $80 with a coupon. Tons of other uses for it too.

 

$80 for the engine crane, did you get the tiny one?

 

@Adude the pic you took is about 5 feet in front of where I fell of the bridge in Naches trail haha. We ran it in the rain that day too, how was it? Pretty rutted or has trail repair happened recently

 

I really don't want to store one of those juggernauts. With how often I'd use it's a no brainer just to rent it

 

Yeah, I was gonna just rent one when I swapped my engine last summer. But I bought because it was cheaper than getting one from Sunbelt for two days. It's been one of my most used tools now, especially when I have to take the bed off for stuff.

 

I thought it was in great condition, seemed very well maintained. A few ruts but nothing that high centered me. I ran 2wd low most of the time. The roots were slick along with the west side hill climb, but typical for running it in on off down pours. One spot east of the cabin had a open diff and 38" tires hole. Think that's the only part we dipped around. We went West to East.

 

I'm thinking this Tacoma might be my last big car project. My knees are beyond shot these days and are no longer happy about rolling around on the floor.

Typical trail condition.


Ran up Copper mine out bumping lake as well solo, was going to camp up there. That's not one for the faint of heart, or with even a chance of snow.

 

I'm hoping that doesnt happen to me anytime soon. Started going to the gym regularly, stretching often and just keeping in better shape in general. All of my family has done a generally poor job of taking care of themselves and it shows as early as 40 years old.

 

$99 my mistake.

 

They did...gonna grab a set

I was running them up front. I cant find my stock ones so no bump stops for now...eeek

 

What's weird is can ride a mountain bike for hours on end, but the constant squatting and kneeling working on cars makes my knees hurt. I finally broke down and bought a Whiteside mechanic's stool two months ago.

 

Same.

 

TRD SuperCharger 3.4L 4Runner Tacoma Tundra T100 https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/53691971


I found this

 

Decent deal for what looks like an original 2nd gen charger. Even has stickers and the TRD dynamic tensioner.
